Okay, I know I should keep a log. I bought the Frugal Tax guide last
year and after being audited for gambling by the IRS, I know I REALLY
HAVE to keep a log. Most of all because last year was a wonderfully
lucky year for me.
This year I bought a small notepad to keep in my fanny pack (yeah, I
wear a fanny pack)and have so far dutifully noted 1)Date 2)machine
number, 3)Denomination, 4)type of machine,ie: DB, DDB, NSUD, etc. 5)
How much I put into the machine; and at the end of the session, how
much I won.
Okay, now here's my problem: Say I put a Benji into a machine. Five
plays later, pull a quad but don't cash out. Then, I continue playing
and like a stupid, rather than cash out, I play it down to zero. Do I
just note the $100 as a loss or do I need to record the quad? If so,
do I log $250 as put into the machine or is it a wash?
I THINK I'd record the benji as a loss and leave it at that but
I'm not sure. I did try the long way (recording the quad and then
noting it as money put into the machine) but it seems to put a real
damper into my play making my get-aways more WORK than play.
How do you pros do it?
Thanks,
