There are more than enough losing bets to cover the signers, but the player still has a profit of 2500. Does he or she have to claim the winnings or not?

Only offset what is reported to the IRS...never declare extra income to the IRS that isn't reported to them.

ps maybe see how you look in Orange right after you file
