Yeah, except most forms of gambling are illegal It's illegal to be a bookie so I imagine it would be rather difficult to get a receipt from them.Jaekus wrote:
Well, well, well. Interesting. Casinos don't give out receipts though, do they?
I guess for putting a bet on a sports game, you would have the ticket as proof.
The only thing I imagine you'd be able to write-off are bets at the racetrack or on the lottery, both of which are state monopolies
What big casinos still redeem hard currency at the slots or tables? Practically all electronic cards these days. Wife won a few hundred at slots, and got a redemption ticket. At redemption, receipts and all.Jay wrote:

How can you prove losses on slots or a table? They always track winnings.Ilocano wrote:

i forgot to mention, she goes to the university of delaware and i go to penn state, but we both live really close to each other in our hometown. i pretty much know we will probably never be together just because of distance problems. but i just want to stay close friends at least. right now i don't know if i did something wrong.Jaekus wrote:
Basically nothing is going to happen whilst she's with her bf, for either of the two reasons you mentioned. Sucks, but I think the best way to handle it is to distance yourself from her, not standoffish but just totally neutral and don't initiate anything for a good while. See how it works out with the bf, it may end sooner rather than later and then who knows what could happen from there?
At least, that's how I would do it.

You'd think she march to his door and break up with him after such a wonderful night in your arms.
so when we will both be back at home in 3 weeks, should i intitiate anything? i'll just not say anything until then i guess..Jaekus wrote:
Yeah just from experience giving it time and distance will be much better than trying to make anything work, even friendship at the moment. She probably has the major guilts and everytime she thinks about you, let alone communicate with you, she gets those feelings again. If you keep trying to force it in the short term it will backfire.
With time things change - whether or not things happen again, the old adage "absence makes the heart grow fonder" does ring true a lot of the time.
no i contacted her like a week later, and she brought up the bf the night it happened. okayJaekus wrote:
Give it till then and then just be casual about it, like you're just saying hello and gauge it from there. With you contacting her the next night and her bringing up her bf it's just way too soon for her, hence the cold shoulder you got. By then she might see things a bit differently with less conflicting emotions (or maybe not, lol)
