I dunno, it’s hard to describe. Imagine $10,000 on $47 and realizing that half that money never existed. I don’t mind paying the taxes on it, but claiming gambling winnings basically defeats any sensible financial tax strategy.

I think I’m the only person I know who claims them. I’m about to give it up because I never needed the money, it’s just fun to beat the house. The taxes really do suck.
