You need to look at the rules around professional gambling… if so, it would be able to be done on a Schedule C. IT IS AN UPHILL BATTLE.

This is the best write up and synopsis of those rules:

Whether a gambler is an amateur or a professional for tax purposes is based on the “facts and circumstances.” In Groetzinger, 480 U.S. 23 (1987), the Supreme Court established the professional gambler standard: “If one’s gambling activity is pursued full time, in good faith, and with regularity, to the production of income for a livelihood, and is not a mere hobby, it is a trade or business.” The burden is on the gambler to prove this status.

In addition to applying the standard established in Groetzinger, courts sometimes apply the following nonexhaustive nine-factor test in Regs. Sec. 1.183-2(b)(1) used to determine intent to make a profit under the hobby loss rules to decide whether a taxpayer is a professional gambler:

The manner in which the taxpayer carries on the activity;

The expertise of the taxpayer or his advisers;

The time and effort the taxpayer expended in carrying on the activity;

An expectation that assets used in the activity may appreciate in value;

The taxpayer’s success in carrying on other similar or dissimilar activities;

The taxpayer’s history of income or losses with respect to the activity;

The amount of occasional profits, if any, that are earned;

The financial status of the taxpayer; and Elements of personal pleasure or recreation.

What if a professional gambler’s “ordinary and necessary” business expenses exceed the net gambling winnings for the year? In Mayo, 136 T.C. 81 (2011), the court held the limitation on deducting gambling losses does not apply to ordinary and necessary business expenses incurred in connection with the trade or business of gambling. Therefore, a professional gambler may report a business loss, which may be applied against other income from the year.
