  1. He’s heavily involved in motor sports, both as a driver and owner of a motorcycle company.
  2. I’m jealous
  3. We haven’t lost a series since May 21. A couple of ties but no losses.
  4. Proposed Change: Cap on Deductions: The proposed change would limit the amount of gambling losses that can be deducted to 90% of a gambler's winnings. Impact: This means that even if a gambler wins and loses the exact same amount in a year, they would still have to pay taxes on 10% of their winnings, effectively creating "phantom income". Affects Itemizers: This change would primarily affect gamblers who itemize their deductions on Schedule A of their tax return. Current Rules (before the proposed changes): Deductible Up to Winnings: Currently, gamblers who itemize can deduct their losses up to the amount of their winnings, meaning they generally don't owe additional taxes if their losses equal or exceed their winnings. Requires Itemizing: To deduct losses, gamblers must itemize deductions on Schedule A and keep detailed records of their wins and losses. Why the Proposed Change Matters: Impact on Gamblers: Professional and high-volume gamblers, in particular, could face significantly higher tax bills under the proposed system. Potential for "Phantom Income": Even if a gambler's net income from gambling is zero or a loss, they could still face a tax liability. Industry Concern: This proposed change has raised concerns within the gaming industry, including worries about its impact on businesses and jobs.
  5. We’re 13th in BA with RISP
  6. Per my understanding, it’s actually worse than that. You can only claim losses up to 90% of your winnings. If you have 100k in tournament winnings but have 200k in entry costs, you can only claim 90K in losses for tax purposes. So taxes have to be paid on 10k even though you are a net loser.
  7. Per Fan Duel, the Rockets are tied with Denver for the 2nd best odds to win the championship at +800
  8. Strong to quite strong Houston Rockets Projected Starting 5👇🏼 Fred Vanvleet Amen Thompson Kevin Durant Jabari Smith Jr Alpren Sengun Bench: DFS, Tari Eason, Whitmore, Sheppard, Adams, Tate
  9. Those recovery vehicles seemed a tad aggressive particularly when picking up Max’s car. That car was swinging all over the place with Max and others were nearby.
  10. I’m surprised Houston was not in the mix. The Comets were an original WNBA team and were successful until Leslie Alexander sold them to the wrong person. I guess Tillman is too busy eating pasta in Italy.
  11. Got me curious. There have only been eleven 1-0 games in the 30 year existence of Coors Field.
  12. I’m guessing there have been very few, if any, 1-0 games at Coors Field
  13. At least we can put this ridiculous chatter to rest.
  14. It’s always dicey when the race leaders are trying to overtake lapped cars who are also fighting for points
  15. I think you’re confusing Brad Pitt with Matt Damon
  16. Somebody needs to call for a wellness check on the Chicago GM
  17. You can’t hit if you don’t swing. Barry Bonds struck out twice as many times as he hit home runs.
  18. Bags’ legs look fucked up.
  19. Yeah. He was a cool cat
  20. For those who don’t know the Cobra reference
