BIg Daddy says.........."BULL"
Probably because people like you who obviously have never been around high stakes gambling are on a internet forum questioning whether someone is actually betting or not. Have you ever been to the derby and watched for a day. There is sets anywhere from 1000-50,000 going on on every table in the venue for 9 straight days,24 hours a day. I personally know of 25 k bet on this match(scott-dennis) by people not at the event . Do you people not know that some people in this world have enough money to bet high. Just because your comfort zone(or budget) only allows you to bet 10-100 dollars doesn,t mean noone else is actually betting 6 figures. I,m not gonna call out names (for respect to their privacy) but i know a guy who lost 610,000 in two days at the derby playing for 40-60,000 PER GAME 1 pocket at the derby this year. And yes the money was paid after each session. I do understand that it is a lot of money,but why do people like you feel the need to question things you have nothing to do with.and for all you people worrying about the IRS,do you think they can tax you on money just because someone on the internet SAYS x amount of money was won. Good grief people why do you think their is w-2s and 10-99s ( because the government has to have PROOF that income was earned. Not hearsay on the internet of gambling) grow up people!
You obviously do not know squat about the IRS gestapo and how they can screw it on if they get a whiff of easy money. They are accountable to no one, not elected, and can run wild over you at will.
With the IRS gestapo, YOU are guilty until you can prove yourself innocent. YOU will be thrown under the harsh light of questioning under oath. Your wife or girlfriend will throw you under the bus in a heartbeat to save themselves...you think they're gonna' do time or face fines because they "just wuvvv you". Hah...fat chance of that happening.
YOU will have to answer (or perjure yourself) about your safety deposit boxes, what you've typed on your computer, what websites you've visited, how did you pay for that cruise you took? How did YOU pay for that boat when you state you only made $15,000 as a 'junkman' last year. On and on it will go.
Everything about YOU will be gone over with a fine tooth comb.....anal exam city (figuratively speaking).
This is why I say it is wise to
KEEP YOUR BIG MOUTH SHUT when it comes to discussing high rolling action over the web. (they're not interested in puny little $20 sweat bets). It's the big dogs they like to nail.
Learn it, bub.....and shut it. Gambling like this is illegal in Wisconsin as well........KEEP IT ON THE QUIET, for crying out loud.
Not only are you leaving yourself wide open for a shot, but many others else as well. And don't sit there and say "I wouldn't rat anyone else out", either.
Ohhhhhh yes you will, you'll sing like a bird if you're given the option of some time or dropped charges for helping them out. (also you can get a nice monetary reward from the bastards)
To use your own words....GROW UP!
