The Wizard of Odds: Las Vegas Casino Blacklist

Curtis....
             Amazing to me that being who you are that you would take that side of this argument. At my regular sports book that I patronize when I am in Vegas they would NEVER refuse to cash one of my tickets. In fact a few years ago I had misplaced a winning March Madness ticket (worth about $1500) and found it over 18 months later. When I brought the ticket in...they called the manager over who smiled and punched a couple of keys while joking with me about the ticket and that he had remembered that game. There is NO excuse for a casino doing such a thing UNLESS fraud is suspected (stolen ticket or whatever). Why SHOULD they have expiration dates Curtis? Can you give me any GOOD reason other than unmitigated greed? I have a favor to ask of you as well. If you EVER become a sports book manager would please post that so I can avoid that place like the plague. I have no doubt the back of the ticket I bought there would state "void after 72 hours" even
though I bought a futures ticket that didn't take place for 6 more months.

            Will there ever be a casino in Vegas that would make jackessiebabe

and tralfamidorgooglycr ackers happy by having NO EXPIRATION DATE

on their sports tickets and TITO vouchers?

I seriously doubt it.

Why equate an attempt to make money with "unmitigated greed"? The
Soviet Union is gone, and Communism is in the dustbin of history.
Here in America, it's perfectly reasonable to do business and make
money.

You just can't get money through theft and deception. Otherwise,
making money is a GOOD thing. Most video poker players try their best
to make as much money as they can. Maybe the socialists would attack
that as "unmitigated greed" too.

Why "bludgeon"? There's no evidence that the Wiz is doing anything
other than honestly reporting what happened. If it's true, then it's
journalism, not bludgeoning. This is the Information Age. Spreading
information is a good thing for everyone. The Wiz tells his story,
visitors to his site can read it if they freely choose to do so, and
they can decide for themselves whether it affects their decisions
about playing at the Strat. What's wrong with that?
