[oxymoron]

What about the "professional" gambler that also makes money from promotions, books and other areas. Because they have other means for money are they no longer a "professional"?

Also, where is the best place to find a CPA? I do not think I need one this year but I might need on next year. Rather than finding someone local I would prefer someone who has handled gambling issues already. Would it be a big deal to hire someone from NV when I am in WA? I have no idea how I would find someone local with experience in gambling tax issues.
