If it's just a side job where you have another job as your main source of income, then sure. BUT for professionals who use gambling as their main source of income, I don't think so.

Again, for the guy who has a regular 9-5, pays his yearly taxes from this job, and makes money gambling on the side, I would agree. No reason to pay.

BUT

For the poker player/sports betting professional type who pays no taxes outside of gambling, explain these "hoops." You wanna justify to uncle sam how you just bought a $50,000 car with no taxable income?
