Do you have proof of your losses?

What kind of proof, I gambled with the same cash I won and bought lots of clothes and shoes for my kids

Clothes and shoes are irrelevant. You cannot claim personal expenses for the trip.

You must claim the winnings. And, for Federal, you can claim documented gambling losses but only if you itemize deductions.

and that assumes itemized will exceed standard deduction for 2017

True.
