Could this work?

I had a thought tonight in the pub. Seeing as there is no tax on gambling winnings here in the UK, and seeing as I work for myself, I had this drunk idea.

After I finish a job for someone, I could say, "Heads, you pay double for the work", or, "Tails, you get the work for free."

If they don't want to go for the bet, then fair play, I get paid as normal. But, if they take the bet, over time, I must end up 50/50, and I could claim the tax back off the government, sort of like rakeback.

Does anyone think the UK government would go for this idea?

lol

my boss at culvers used to joke around and ask to flip for my paycheck

oh also, no i don't think it'd work because the person who pays you for the work will still end up claiming that they paid you (for the first 50% at least)
