limits gambling loss offsets to 90%. so say you break even with 100k winnings and 100k losses. you have to pay tax on 10K income.

they should update the outdated jackpot threshold while they are at it... it was set in the 1970s at $1200 but has not been updated since then to account for inflation.

I bet 90-95% of professional gamblers voted for Trump/Cons. Amazing how they fucked them over.

Apparently it was one senator who slipped this provision in at the last minute, presumably before gambling lobbyists could spot it...

“If this goes through as it is written, I would basically just have to stop,” one professional gambler told FOS. “If I win $100 million and lose $99 million, that would be a great year, to have $1 million in profit! But with this bill, I would have to pay taxes on about $10 million in ‘gains’, which would turn my year into a $2 million loss.”

Poker player and author Maria Konnikova also walked through the math of how this would affect card players “If the purpose of this bill is to kill poker and stop people from playing, mission accomplished,” she told FOS. “The provision hurts you whether you have a winning year or a losing year—and the poker ecosystem is unlikely to survive the change.”

I wonder why they picked 90%, seems so arbitrary. only thing I can think of is that it's targeted at slot players because dont most slot machines give 90% payback, so for slot patrons I guess this evens out and only fucks over poker players (perhaps inadvertently).

-No issue with this bill. Just means you need to collect 10% more losing horse betting slips!

-In reality it does suck, nothing good about, only bad. Mainly bad for high buyin tourney players and online players. Not really an issue for anyone else with some common sense.
