    So in the US, if you win a significant amount at a casino, you get a 1099. Because gambling earnings are taxed.

    Theoretically you'd lose more than you'd win.

  • I mean, if you look at it like "I'm going into this casino to lose this money. The money I'm going to lose is the payment for hanging out in a room with lots of blinking lights, free well drinks and a guy in a vest, because that's my kind of place"...sure. Maybe avoid writing those gambling losses off of your taxes.
