Blackjack results update

Yesterday I just had a tremendous session winning $759! My total tally since 8/15/07-12/12/07 this year is that I have bought in for $13,394 and I have cashed out $14,529! For a total profit of $1,135 after tipping and before you factor in the value of comps! Isn't gambling sweet!

Who the hell tips at a casino?

"You helped me lose money, therefore let me pay you back a bit!"

Despite the fact that most people lose money in the casino most players bet for the dealer. If you go to a restaurant the meal costs you money and I lot of people give the waiters tip money. You give the dealers tips to show that you appreciate the service that they gave you. I will ocassionally put out a $1 bet for the dealer so I don't stiff him.

Taxes will eat you up, if you have big pos. flux in variance at year's end. Comps are taxed, so add them in. Tips are not deductible, so back those out. Play until you are "lucky" enough to loose a bunch to variance for tax reasons.

Just curious, how much did you tip vs. your EV?

[Cardcounter]

I don't exactly know what my EV is and I don't know how much I tipped. I don't even know how much I won for the year if you through in my other gambling and earlier years results. I assume that I have not won any money do to my loses in video poker and poker. Plus I probably lost earlier in the year. Besides the casino doesn't 1099 you for modest blackjack wins.

Paradox-
If you won about $1100.00 over 4 months do you actually report it to the I.R.S.?

[Cardcounter]

after I factor in gas and other gambling loses such as in poker I figure that I have not won anything overall so I don't have to fill out tax forms for gambling. Gambling tax forms are only if you win a big jackpot or get a major payout. Like you are playing the texas hold'em game in the casino and bet $10 on the bonus and get two aces with the dealer getting two aces for a $10,000 payout than the casino is required to fill out forms.

CC, what was your max bet with your win?

[Paradox]

I'm not a cheat in any part of my AP life. I don't use illegal fake IDs, I don't CHEAT on my taxes, I obey ALL laws.

The game of Advantage Play is NOT and has NEVER been about ILLEGAL moves or methods!!!

Hell, I could make REAL money if I wanted to violate Federal Law!

I don't what money enough to violate my principals.

Federal Tax Law is NOT subjective.

If I CHEATED on my taxes, I'd be 1/2 AP and 1/2 CHEATER.

YES! I count every penny, as required by LAW.

Are you guys telling me that you knowingly and willfully CHEAT on your income taxes?

If you "think" "wesh" " or "suppose" you don't have to pay taxes, you may be a criminal.
