The guy got paid. Yes, I feel bad about his hassles, and perhaps if he had gone to the right people at the track on that day it would have been straightened out even faster. However, there is absolutely no way you can expect the clerk to have paid him. That's just ridiculous.
Believe me, I'm a bettor, and I sympathize with his plight to an extent, but since he got paid ultimately it is hard to not feel that the right thing was done.

Andy, the right thing was done, but by rule of law they didn't have to do it. Doesn't that bother you a bit? I'm sure you are far more familiar with the wagering rules then I am, but it was no accident that some piece of **** politician enacted that law (I assume the part about the politician, not the accident).
And I just want to make it clear that this has nothing to do personally with Travis Stone. I think it is quite cool that he is a member here.
