***Official June [Censored] Thread LC/NC*** - Page 9 - MTT Poker Strategy

An example of what bugs me. Nothing against you Dante. I think poker is actually pretty good for dispelling this line of logic. Its the equivalent of putting a person on AA as opposed to a range.

So for Stars Football Fever All-in Shootouts:

25000 players bet for Italy
2300 players bet for Costa Rica

I know almost nothing about international football but this was easy to go with Costa Rica. This has been happening all week.

yeah I've done the polar opposite of public opinion for every game on that basis. Unfortunately I didnt qualify for either of the costa rica games (or spain v holland) and have yet to see a penny.

I don't understand that tax issue when you're buying action for WSOP or generally some USA livements.

Let's say US citizen sell action for local livements to non-US citizen who transfers via stars.
Why do Us citizen require some tax form?
Why can't he pay taxes for investor share and send post taxes profit to investor (total amount minus taxes he payed himself)?

The tax form required basically notifies the government who earned money from the win. Without filing that form they are going to assume the player won it all and expect the player to pay tax on the entire win.

Regardless of how you payed the player, if he wins a lot of money that win is recorded and submitted to the Govt.

Ok (1) is a legit reason if so. We have fixed rates afaik.

I'm not sure but if non-us investor pay taxes for his US profits to US coffers doesn't he also have to pay taxes at home for his abroad profits? However I understand it might be wrong or at least country dependent.

I'm not sure what you are asking but taxes are almost always country dependent.

Pretty sure a non-US investor doesn't pay taxes to the US gov't (though he may have to pay taxes on his investment earnings to his home country), the tax form you referred to basically just exists so you can claim a percentage of the cash as yours, resulting in the player not paying taxes on something he didn't actually earn

Not an expert tho, so might be way off here

Some non-US investors do pay taxes to the US on their winnings due to various treaties or lack of treaties their home country has with the USA.

For example a Canadian buying action of an American who goes on to win a WSOP event will have to pay tax on the winnings. Most (all?) .eu countries are tax free in the USA.

In general I think you get a tax credit so your own government doesn't double tax you on earnings you already paid taxes for. At least that's how I think it's done in the US, seems likely other countries do the same.
