But thanks for the refresher.

I don't think people follow the law to a "T", this would shut down the riverboats, and the state makes Billions off them. Read this article...

The game is tough enough and if you can win 3% (right now) to offset the tax you are doing better than 99% of horseplayers. How anyone could think it is fair to pay state income tax on income you never received is beyond me.
