Sales representative and former crypto-enthusiast Chris Porter (28) recently cut out the middleman and donated his tax return directly to online bookies in a genius move set to maximise his time.
Receiving a tax return of $645, or roughly one and a half pairs of RM Williams, Porter opted to save the heartbreak of watching it slowly dwindle away and decided to make a non-refundable donation to his favourite betting app for the full amount of his return.
According to Porter, donating his tax return directly to betting app YouBetChat will save him the time and heartbreak of seeing his ‘bonus money’ dwindle to nothing in the lead up to footy finals.
“Haha let’s be honest, I was going to do something dumb like bet it on the Cowboys anyway!” joked Porter.
“Actually they won the other week didn’t they? Doesn’t matter.”
A colleague of Porter’s, Nolan Rice (30) is surprised that his mate forwent the equivalent of two bags of crappy Australian coke and a cocktail, but sees the logic in the plan.
“If he won anything by gambling it, which let’s agree, he wouldn’t, then he was just going to spend it on bags and drinks anyway. This way everyone wins,” stated Rice.
“Except for Chris, kind of.”
Feeling elated by his innovative donation to a $19 billion dollar industry, Porter is looking forward to saving time in other areas of his life in order to feel like the person he once was again.
“I think tomorrow I’m going to apologise to my girlfriend for getting her a thoughtless, last-minute Christmas present later this year.”
