Since Michigan whomps off their income tax take for all W2G wins with no loss
write-offs, knocking that SF payoff to $1000 from $1250 (thus eliminating the
W2G) isn't quite as bad as it looks. Also, for the average player who isn't
savvy enough to keep a gambling tax diary, eliminating Uncle Sam's share
pretty much makes up the rest.
That is, IF you don't claim every gambling win on your taxes.
I'm sure that all of us here do - right?
