But what makes a bet a good bet?
I would propose that good bets are ones that end with a net win in the tax year. Under that definition, it's not whether or not a particular bet wins or loses, but the net of bets for the tax year has to be a win. If it's a loss, there's a tax penalty (gambling losses can not legally be carried forward) that has to be accounted for.
