I stay in Tswassenn when I play tennis tourney at Stanley Park

 

[crazyivan24]

peterpuck Whats your email? I'll send it to you...I rather not disclose his email publicly unless he wants too since he doesnt want spam mail or anything...

And he wants 'small' players - not players wagering $500+ or anything like that

i live in coquitlam and yes given the bc lottery scam there is a very good reason why anyone with any sense goes offshore - though all the hassle of depositing money through western union, paypal etc is beyond me. I use my credit card at betfair and get the best odds no hassles.

IVAN IS WRONG REGARDING TAXES FOR CANADIANS

THERE IS NO TAX ON WINNINGS whatsoever IF you have a primary source of income OTHER than gambling.

meaning if you had a hotdog cart even you can say thats your source of income instead of winnings , but if your only income is gambling which I doubt in Ivans case then your PROFFESSION BY TAX STANDARDS IS GAMBLING AND THEREFORE YOU PAY TAX ON INCOME which you just tell them at HandR Block that it is SUNDRY INCOME and you are alright NO AUDITS either if you do it that way.

 

[crazyivan24]

How am I wrong? I told them there are NO TAX

 

[BSBboy]

Ivan, there is no tax as long as you are not a professional gambler - someone who gambles as his primary source of income.

It has always been the Canadian governments position NOT to tax 'good fortune'

Also is is fine to place sports bets with any sportsbook but if they operate in Canada they need to be licensed.
