      Interesting, though. Could add up to a great deal over the course of a year, at about 7 or more properties.

      I read once about a bank worker who set up their system so that any pennies on someone's account got transferred into a dummy account he set up.

      He accumulated a huge sum before he was caught.

        Don't most Las Vegas books round down? It would be a huge waste of time to have clerks constantly dealing with pennies.

            I heard about something similar as well.

                  This actually is a bigger issue than you would think. Sure a few cents here and there seem like nothing but to do this 100s to 1000s of times each day adds the **** up. If online books started doing this sbr would be going donkey kong on their ass.

                      we have books offshore doing the exact same thing. This is why you should just play with your local, period

                        Many books both past and present have rounded to the DOLLAR and no one gives a damn. I have some locals that round down to $5. Vote with your feet if you don't like the practice but there's nothing inherently wrong with it.

                            rounding to nickels is an accepted practice.

                              Yeah, I always bet amounts that won't involve change, but I remember once asking for $550 on something and the ticket writer misheard me and thought I said $50, and the ticket showed $50 to win $45 rather than $45.45.

                              Pretty ridiculous to expect ticket writers to hand out pennies. It's bad enough getting stuck behind a guy in line who's putting in 30 five dollar parlays, I'd hate getting stuck behind a bunch of guys who need their change counted out.
