Gambling losses are listed as Itemized deductions for tax purposes. I suspect you got the standard deduction which is $25,100 for a married couple filing jointly. If the $25,100 is larger than the sum of all of your Itemized deductions, the higher amount will be taken.
So you did post the gambling losses, but the standard deduction was the better alternative.
