We get taxed wagering into the pools, and taxed again when we make a nice score. I like the way the bookies in England do it. You can pay your tax on the wager when making it, or pay your tax when you cash if you win. They don't hit you both ways.

tax free betting as of a few years back.. now with the likes of betfair, we bet to 100% books, all tax free
