And when betting in a sports book with a live ticket seller, DOUBLE CHECK and TRIPLE CHECK your tickets!

We've had this conversation either on this board, or the old ESPN board before, but ticket mistakes are MUCH more prevalent when betting at a casino. In defense of the casino workers, they are taking money on lots of different sporting events, and aren't always focused and attentive on the horses. I'm an experienced and veteran player and just last year I threw down a quick $20 for fun, thought I had the winner, and then realized the ticket in my hand was on the wrong race or track. That was at Hardrock, for the record.

And if you are accustomed to "calling" your plays a certain way just plan on having to do a little more explaining to get the right ticket.

Personally, if I'm in a casino I'd rather spend my time playing blackjack. The only time I wander into the race book is to take a break and make some fun little win and place bets just to have some easy action. Or, if I've about reached my loss limit at blackjack and just want to stretch time and still have fun.
