Message: [QUOTE="ted80, post: 1310015, member: 56913"] ^^what he said. you win the lottery, you're on channel 10 on your side news at noon, 5, 6, and 11. you will be taxed heavily, but you won so much you just don't care how much they take. oh, and full tilt poker doesn't have the banner of "giving to the public schools of virginia" or whatever comes with it. ppl have an addiction to that with their earned/gov't issued money to that more than the most hooked and losing poker/race track/football wager-er out there. i mean, you wanna talk about a downswing...try playing the lottery for 20+ yrs...playing multiple numbers...$10+ a week...and your biggest hit is getting 5 of the numbers and taking home $75 taxable income. these people usually love the scratchers too....i mean hey! why not right? i know it...i see it...i go to the 7-11 2 or 3 times a week in the morning before work and get my coffee and a lousy crap-inducing biscuit...and am inconvenienced an extra 5 mins by some guy who can't read with $15 bucks in hand pointing at the plexi-glass see-through counter at the scratchers goin "let me get uh...uhhhh...number 2...no! number 6!...and a number 3"...and upon being rung up, not knowing how to count realizing here's $3 to spare so he wants a number 17, number 22, and a number 9! yes!!!!. and the constant flow of filled out numbers, plus scratchers....but hey! its all for the state right? that's cool...only made me late for work. and what's up with that guy who's getting either a 6 pack or a 40 at 7am in there? is that for later or...of course if i get a pack of cigs, i need to pocket it before i walk out the door, because someone will ask for one if they see a fresh pack, that guy who's "been saving up for a pack of cigs and a scratcher" outside...who asked you for 37 cents on the way in, and for a cig on the way out. but they're on top of it if you win the lottery...you're almost on your honor, even though, they sure would like to catch you! ...if you're cashing out from a poker site, because they don't have a stake in it from the start. i understand that and i've always been honest in football and horse winnings, even if it was just a petty amount. i'm not looking for trouble...i'm honest...taxable income is taxable income, i know this...i know a lot of people don't look at it that way and would like to sneak by. i hate having so much of my check being taken away and then waiting 20 mins in line at the food lion while some women with all 5 of her kids are in the express lane with 3000 items, bitching about what she can and can't get with WIC or foodstamps or whatever, but i guess that's just the way it is. if i ever reach a point where my investments and hard work have paid off in poker, i'd like to know i'll be able to withdraw...and will gladly report it, whatever. i have mutual funds and shit, that's a gamble too right? they're not pissing their damned pants about that. oh well [/QUOTE]
