Doc, there are 2 obvious solutions for the future, nothing can change what has already occurred.

1. Punch your own tickets! I have been using the self-betting machines since they came out, mid-90's. I have not made a bet with a teller in years... OR

2. Bet earlier.. by waiting until the last minute, you are bringing in all sorts of possible problems, which there is no time to fix. I have made mistakes while punching my own tickets, but have had time to have the tickets cancelled by betting with 3 to 5 minutes to post.

By the way, I have heard (not sure if it was on this board or Thorograph) that the teller's machines stay open at least 10 seconds after a race starts for the very purpose of cancelling incorrect tickets.

(I see Spyder just wrote the same thing while I was typing this)
