    no - tax free

    likewise if you make a lost you cant set that off against future earnigns.

    I suggest strongly that you drop the roulette ... it's a house game, the house always wins inthe long run.

    Poker, at least you play other players, if you are better than your opponents, you will win in the long term, provided you use correct bankroll management.
