The same argument would apply that hey, he made other bets a the correct odds with the winning cash so those bets have to be good and he is owed millions. It's the books fault for paying him with an extra zero to begin with.

The only reason he got the 11k and the reason we are discussing it now is because it was such a small amount but the reality is it was 10x the correct payout. I'll add that the bad line rule is subjective in that it says it needs to be a gross/obvious error. That rule implies the player should know better initially or be able to understand afterwards why it was such an error. In a lot of cases the player can make a case that he really doesn't understand how that is an obvious gross error. This is not one of those times.
You sound like you are clutching at straws Bill.

There would be no argument had the player not come to 5D to alert them of the initial error. But he did, and 5D let him play up his balance and take a withdraw.

Time to get on the right side. Tony will do whatever he wants whether you ruin your own credibility or not.
