Oh, I admit that things can change in an instant, but if a ticket is sold and then the horse race begins its clear that the computer system would not allow a ticket change to occur but thats what the clerk and supervisor are for: “we acknowledge our error, the ticket you wanted was SuchNSuch and that is what we will honor and ALL that we will honor”. Its sort of similar to a gambler putting a very large chip on the line by mistake, the dealer will call out as the dice are rolling ‘line bet booked to table limits only, overage will be returned’. He is acknowledging the error and emphasizing that there has been no waiver of table limits, the player simply appears to have miscounted the chips in his bet. In the Aquarius Sports Book incident under discussion things might well have been different if the player had delayed longr or sought out a different clerk or dealt with a different supervisor who was unaware of the correctly-ordered transaction. However, its clear that the clerk and the supervisor knew there had been a mistake, knew it was the sportsbook’s mistake, knew it was solely the sportsbook’s mistake, knew it was being brought to their attention in a prompt manner … and then tried to hem and haw while figuring out what was “good for their bottom line” on that ticket. Well, the employees should know that what is good for their bottom line is to Book Their Bets in a clear and correct fashion and once a bet is booked HONOR it! That is what is good for a sports book’s bottom line! Not sneaking into the back room and watching the game to see how valuable the ticket is. The Desired Bet was known, the Book issued an incorrect ticket, the Book has to honor the customer’s intended bet, not their erroneous ticket. Sure, the game is on, the dice are rolling, the horses are rounding the three-quarter pole, … etc. etc. Its not as if the clerk and supervisor have memory problems. The craps shooter who calls out a bet and has it booked will win or lose and will do it on the honor of the casino employees to be truthful as to what was said.

They issued a ticket in error and the customer noted it quite promptly and immediately spoke to the clerk who issued it and to the supervisor who had approved it each of whom knew he had just purchased the tickets moments before.
Any attempt by the sportsbook to go see what is to their advantage is improper. The ONLY thing to their advantage is to issue the ticket properly no matter what has happened in the intervening few moments.
