After reviewing my original answer, this isn't the correct path to take because the gambling losses are considered itemized expenses that must be reported in a different manner as pointed out by sweetiejean. There is a different manner in reporting this.

Go to federal>income and expenses
less common expenses>gambling winnings
As you go through this section, it will ask if you received a W2G, say no
it will ask if you have winnings not on a W2G, say yes
Enter any winnings that weren't reported on a W-2G put the full amount of the winnings
Next screen asks Let us know if you had any gambling losses in 2021 here you will put the amount of your losses up to the amount of your winnings
Since the gambling losses are itemized deductions, if you are able to itemize this year, they will appear on Schedule A as itemized deductions. If you claim a standard deduction however, then these losses might not be claimed.

@DaveF1006 How does your suggestion comport with the following from the IRS:

You may deduct gambling losses only if you itemize your deductions on Schedule A (Form 1040) and kept a record of your winnings and losses. The amount of losses you deduct can't be more than the amount of gambling income you reported on your return. Claim your gambling losses up to the amount of winnings, as "Other Itemized Deductions."
