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".

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.

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.

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.

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

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...............
