10% is expensive, guys at Hollywood charge 5% and most can be talked into a 20 dollar flat rate!

If Willie is a distinguished-looking older Black man with a groomed grey beard, then I may have escaped trouble.
This gentleman was working the satellite wagering building (no live racing) and someone told me he was the "man to see."
In my case he knew and contacted another gentleman to sign for me, I donated 10% and he took his cut from that guy.
It was only a G so maybe he didn't bother himself.
Thank God for the Federal Reserve. You can't have big government or big wars without them.

I remember "Jimmy the Nose" doing it in the seventies and eighties and getting caught by the Feds and doing time.
Jimmy hung out with Peter Miller's dad in those days I believe.

In the heyday of 10% er's they didn't charge anything. Happy to just get the withholding back when they filed their taxes. Some of those guys made HUGE STACKS of $$$cash$$$.

there are a lot of people who do this at the race tracks, no problem in finding a person to cash the ticket

Bingo!

And I'll never understand why one doesn't cash their own tickets and do the same.

I have figuratively 17 shoe boxes full of losing tickets in case I ever hit anything - and that's just this year alone.

The day I do what CK does is the day I quit gambling.

My goodness. After reading this thread I am worried I now know enough to be charged as an accessory to tax fraud.
