WASHINGTON, D.C. — While 529 hardworking athletes proudly represent the
United States in the 2012 Olympics, any medals and money they earn wearing
red, white and blue will be taxed by the IRS. According to research done by
the Americans for Tax Reform Foundation, U.S. Olympic athletes are liable to
pay income tax on medals earned and prizes received at the London games.

发帖数: 597 | 7 The way Olympic medals work, a medal for a team sport - such as the golds
each of the men on the volleyball team was awarded Sunday - counts as just
one.
If, instead, the medals awarded to each individual are counted, the totals
underscore the American commitment to team sports. They read like this:
Americans: 315 medals.
Chinese: 186. |

Most of us would probably say it's priceless, since it is a reminder of the
thrill of finishing the 26.2 miles and also a reminder of the months of
sacrifices we had to make to get the finish line. However, if you need a
quick $100, you could put it up on eBay. The going price on a 2012 finisher
medal in one auction is $101 plus shipping! The person listing it says that
they will use the proceeds from the auction to finance next year's entry fee.

Since tooth enamel is harder than gold, silver and bronze, athletes bite
their medals to leave impressions of their teeth in their precious metals.

When China beat US in gold counts in Beijing 2008, the US media ranked US at
No 1 based on total medal count. This time, when China is beating US in
both gold and medal counts, Chinese are guessing the US media is probably
going to rank base don Bronze count, on which the US is still leading.
Apparently, Chinese still lacks some imagination of loser mentality. |

发帖数: 146 | 15 Not only do I agree with the author of the article, I also think the "real"
medal count should count the real number of gold medals that are distributed
. Like one basketball medal should count something like 16. That is the only
fair way to determine which country is more successful. |

Beijing Olympics—88 to 87—and top the overall table for the first time,
according to a survey released Monday by accounting firm
PricewaterhouseCoopers.
“As the host nation in Beijing and (with) an economy which has grown very
strongly since 2004, the medal ‘target’ of 88 for China according to our
model is much higher than its actual medal totals in Athens (63) or Sydney (
59),” said John Hawksworth, the report’s author. |

Barnes, 28, turned to Mickelson (39) and Duval (37) and said, "whoever is
the oldest of you two" could take the medal. Mickelson, now a five-time
runner-up, quickly replied, "I've got four of those. I'm plenty good."

发帖数: 15860 | 37 You can use Iron Man medals to buy more Full Tilt Points in the Iron Man
store. If you then proceed to spend those poins in the Full Tilt store or
poker room, it will incur the regular FTP deduction of $0.005 per used point
against your Gross Rake in the FullTilt rakeback calculations.
Example:
Your Gross Rake is $300
You spend 150 Iron Man medals to buy 5000 FTPs, and then spend the points,
which amounts to a $25 deduction to your rake ($0.005*5000)
Your rakeback is ($300 - $25) * 27% = $74.25 |

FTP.
By reading the FAQ I realize that using FTPoints will hurt rakeback. Let's
say I get all my rakeback next week and won't have any further action in FTP
, will FTP deduct money from my backroll if I use FTpoints to buy tournament
tokens?
For Ironman medals, by reading FAQ it appears that the best way to use them
is to buy tournament tokens. Is it going to hurt rakeback too?
Thanks a lot for your help! |
