I don't know how much validity remains with tinkering of tax laws, but for years I kept a plastic grocery bag filled with losing lottery tickets.  There was a time I was advised that I could submit losing tickets as a 'counterclaim' when I won a big lottery prize...which I am forecasting for 2047. 😕

Pretty sure you get a W-2G to fill out 

 

Casino winnings over a certain amount are taxed by New York State and they will fill out the form and give it to you

This doesn't apply to sports betting.

 

It's possible to get a tax form for a sports bet win, but it would have to be some insane parlay bet. You only get a tax form if the bet was 300-1 odds or more. 

 

They ask for your players card if you bet more than $1K, but it's for internal tracking purposes only.

I thought that now it's anything over $600.00... betting, lottery, ebay, etc. 

Your talking about third party payment processors, like PayPal etc. That it something new but completely unrelated to sports betting in a casino with cash.

People were telling me that it was changed so I wasn't sure 

 

And the government says all gambling winnings must be filed so I figured a number would trigger it ... And people told me 1k

I dabble 😆

 

Nate Diaz has made me a good amount on betting submission wins 


Ahhh, Nate Diaz.  The man is making so much more money now being Jake Paul’s punching bag than he ever did in his MMA career.

 

I was doing pretty well there for a bit betting on closely lined fights.  Lately, I’ve been killing it in multiplier DFS contests.  Been cashing checks just about every week.  The Singapore card was my worst day in a while.  Wagered $45 and won $60.  We’ll see how Paris goes today.

I was all over Gane.  I think the there was some recency bias at work here because of the Jon Jones loss, but I never thought Spivak had a chance.  Seems like everyone was convinced that Spivak would take him down and control him, but I was thinking that Gane was too physically imposing to be controlled by Spivak.  Spivak isn’t Jon freaking Jones.  😂 

 

I was also on BSD, Oezdemir, Charriere, Ange Loosa, and Nora Cornolle (my dog pick).  I played 3 contests.  Wagered $60 and won $150.

I have my parlay of Kansas and Colorado straight up

 

I also have a play of Kansas -2 5 parlayed with Notre Dame straight up

 

And Oklahoma - 16 1/2

 

Should be a great day tomorrow

Dangit. I tried trailing the Kansas pick with an over parlay and my homie in NY didnt get it on time.

 

You like Colorado at -2.5 if played straight up?

I get just going $line if using a parlay

Yes I still do 

 

But since I did parlay it I went moneyline with it and still got good odds

 

I think the hype train on sanders is getting too big but they have too much talent for Nebraska for home opener...

 

Rhule even said it might take a few years to build it 

 

Colorado -2.5 for sure

Yeah sanders hype will never be higher than after this week. I don't have their schedule but there's likely a good value bet against them down the road because of hype.

 

It'll be like Colorado -2.5 vs Georgia 🤣🤣🤣

I am killing it !!

 

I said follow me and get the racks!

I tailed you on a few. I don't really know college ball well. Back in WNY it's nothing but Bills/nfl

 

I moved down to NC. College is king down here, I never understood the college hype, but I get it now lol crazy games

Yea they will be over hyped .. so should be a few good plays against ... Tomorrow I still like them 

 

I might go to the casino and lay on Utah -6.5 vs Baylor tomorrow

 

Utah is stout defensively and has 2 QBs even if rising isn't 100% ...

 

I'm crushing even sharps rn ... Gotta ride the wave

Keep me updated^^ 

 

How do you pick your bets? Just know college that well? Or know how to look for sharp signals?

 

I gotta few things I do but really I just hit 12mth mark betting so I'm a total newb

Honestly a combination of a lot of things ...

 

My dad coached so I studied football since I was four... I'm a bills fan... But I do love the college game more... So as you'll see I'm going to make mostly college picks

 

So playing coaching and scouting for 30 years I just generally feel I have a very good grasp at the game... and I watch a lot of college football

 

A buddy of mine played at Oklahoma... .. and he's very gauged in with Oklahoma and the Big 12.. and he has made a lot a lot a lot of money betting over the last 20+ years

 

And I'll generally hit him up and give him a game... He'll give me a game.. then we'll shoot ***** about the week for a while and get a grasp on what we like 

 

But he's always been pretty good with me on when to take Oklahoma or the other team lol he's not afraid to say when his sooners are outmatched

 

So he's a big 12 Sharp lol and yeah I just have a good feel for teams around the country recruits coming in and coaches

 

I also have been betting on football for a pretty long time ... 15 ish years
