Scum of the Earth
 

to the c*cksucker out there that took my $50 voucher from the tote machine today, I hope you lose that $50 and 100 times more than that.

No good S.O.B.:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

What track?

I was at an OTB.

did ya leave it, walk away?

Did you have more on you, or just 50?

made a couple bets...left it in there...was turned around for about 30 seconds before I realized it. I was no more than 15 feet from it...I went back...not there. I asked aloud to the people sitting around me and not one person uttered a word.

People have no morals..

Well the good thing is it was just 50 dollars. The guy who took your ticket wont hit a dollar exacta for a week.

I had more, just the principle

I agree. Thats why I dont do vouchers. I strictly bet with cash and keep it in my front pocket so the likelihood of anyone getting it is slim and none.
How about the guys at the track and OTB that always ask to borrow money? Talk about no morals. "Nice to see you, whats it been, a year? Can I borrow $50, my atm card isnt working".

thats bad

if you left and was gone for say a couple minutes i could "sorta" understand

Ill let someone hold 50, if they are bold enough to ask, they are bold enough to hold.

Last race of this past Saratoga meet I go to the window and this guy that was ahead of me walks away really quickly leaving behind a ticket which I now have in my hand. I look at it, its a $250 win ticket, twice, on which horse I didnt really remember. I get out of line and yell to the guy and give him his ticket. I get back in line and bet $160 win on "D Money". Y'all know how this ends and what my point is. Do the right thing.

Yep. Karma is a real thing. Always tip well and don't mess with peoples vouchers. Words to live by.

I think I would have been lurking by those machines for awhile waiting for that SOB to show back up...

try working as a teller and accidently handing back the wrong change on a busy saturday. think you will see that money back? not

and you as the teller are responsible for the loss on the till.

I ranted and raved for 10 minutes...

I made sure everyone sitting in that area knew what I thought of people that feel the need to take others money.

given the time frame no question the scum knew it was yours, probably standing right behind you and was the next in line to use the machine

there is no "sorta" about it Curt....the money did NOT belong to the person that took it....plain and simple.

I have had many times that I have turned a voucher in or asked who was at the machine last....I found a voucher for $200+ one time and not one time did the thought ever enter my mind to take that money. The first words out of my mouth were "who was at this machine last??"

It's called honesty and integrity

One time at Windsor Raceway I walked away and left my voucher with about $700 on it. A few minutes later and after walking to the other side of the building I realized it. Went back to the machine nothing. Was in a panic walking around, checking the floor, looking in pockets. All of a sudden a guy walks up to me and says "did you leave a voucher in the machine". This guy was a just a patron. I told him yes and there was a lot on it. He says he saw me looking nervous and thought it might have been me who left it.

Can't believe how lucky I was and that there was actually an honest person at the track that day. I gave him $100. He didn't want to take it until I kept insisting.

i hear ya man - but - i gotta be honest here. if you find a voucher ok, let me back up. last year i found a voucher in a machine that was for $78. so, I did not know who was before me so i rolled to the office and asked them if anyone had reported it. no one had. so i held onto it, letting nancy know i had it. came around 4pm and no one had made a report. nancy told me to keep it because there was little they could do if it was reported at this point.

bout a week later i again asked the office if it had been officaly reported and she told me no. dude, yes it is called honesty but in reality a voucher sitting in a machine that no one knows whoo it belongs to is like a $50 bill laying on the floor.

the cat that took it, based on your time frame, had to know it was yours. thats bull - we all know that. but...................................

if you walk up to a machine and find a voucher and no one was before you that you could see all you can do is let management know. then, if no one reports it in a couple hours kevin it is a $50 bill on the street!

i agree, that was a bad deal but it is the truth...............

GPK...Maybe it was that dude that was cheering for his horse on the replay the other day...

Don't worry man...karma's a b*tch...

get up 3, get up 3
:D :D

It is bro...I know...and like I said...I hope they lose 100 times that amount.

flip side -

teller at scioto gives me back an extra $20 couple weeks back - i hand it back

next race i go to her to place my wager and she has a season pass for me

karma

I simply disagree Curt.....

I see both sides of this, honestly. Just having worked as a Teller makes me see a different side is all. Fact is honesty is honesty and what is yours is yours - somebody knew that was your $50. All I am saying is if a voucher is laying around and no one knows who it might belong to and the owner is not savy enough to track their money within a couple hours of losing it, well, you know.

plain and simple....if it ain't mine...I don't want it.

It sounded to me like the perp would have been within earshot by the time GPK got back and said something (30 seconds, right?)...something tells me there was no report filed to the track office

I filed a report....but by the time everything panned out, the ticket had already been cashed...nothing they could do.

exactly because what the teller can do is just pocket that money - and it's not a problem with management! if ya turn it into the head teller - they should hold onto it until the close of the business day and then guess what - somebody gets some cash. no win

exactly either cashed the voucher or turned it into a $50 bet on a future race

Thats bull**** man. Sorry to hear that. Some people in this world really are ****, just dont understand it.

Makes you wonder how some people can sleep at night...

Not everyone was raised properly like you and I Dustin.

Hey, maybe he lost the $50 on that DQ at Belmont...wouldn't that be the best???

the real problem here is this -

the person that took this voucher based on what gpk has said no doubt knew it was his. that is stealing in anyones eyes.

That happened to me at Churchill Kentucky Oaks Day ..... it's worst feeling. You're equally mad beyond belief and upset that you lost money.

Sorry.

Kev, I feel for you but you have to let it go now. No good can come out of being upset about it now. Know what I mean.
