Yep!!! We used to use somewhere around 25% as the "value" of benefits including health insurance. So a person making $50k with no benefits would be equivalent to someone making around $37,500 with...

No way do I consider myself a pro. But I can tell you it is surprisingly easy to pump $5-10K through the virtual window in a week. I suspect most pros smooth out the bumps by diversifying their...

Sure it matters. The cost of living in New York is much higher than the cost of living in most other areas. But no matter how low the cost of living is, I can't see $50k being a "nice" salary. Our...

Sure $50k IS above the average. But how many of us would consider making the average salary "living the good life" ? As several have said, professional handicapping can be more than a full time job....

What planet do you live on that you think heavy equipment operators live the "good life". I LIVE in the south, trust me, $25,000 is NOT high pay. Garbage collectors make that much. And I doubt many...

I can't believe there is any place in this country where GROSS pay of $50k per year with NO benefits is considered "very high standard of living". I suspect the manager of the local stop-n-go beats...

Not to mention this query would probably just lead to many others. And I think Ian's time is pretty well allocated already.

I don't think so. My guess is it comes out of the track's take and if that doesn't cover it then it comes from the track's bank account.

I've heard stories in dog racing where a "sure thing" dog has had $10,000 wagered on it to show and suddenly gets scratched before the race is run.

I assume here in the US a gambler would be able to deduct those "business expenses". But I would think medical insurance would be costly (here at least). I'm sure that is true for any self-employed...

Whobet, I think the point I've been trying to make is that a professional gambler that makes $50k gambling really isn't living the "good life". $50k minus 15-20% taxes doesn't really leave a lot to...

So he never submitted 1040 or other forms at year end? But yet he DID pay taxes. So if he made $50K at the horse track, some percent of that went to the government?

I also just think that 1/234/23456 just makes more sense than 1-(2,3,4)-(2,3,4,5,6)

Good idea.

I would also like the option of keying the numbers instead of clicking. For me hitting 1234 is easier than clicking 1, clicking 2, etc.
