Probably when he making sure many big bets there no point to try to get around the tax stuff because they going to tax the years winning in total not the single transactions...plus it's up to you to report what your yearly earnings are...I have personally never bet that much on a game, but isn t that a taxable event? Think it is 3K at sports books and then they get your SS # and pass it on to IRS.Creating a taxable transaction. Wouldn t you do several tickets?? Nice pick and I didn t see hardly anyone who liked TCU.Watching the game it looked like it should of been about a pickem.
