    i got scammed.....
    pretty sure a clerk at a book scammed me.

    i placed a $500 bet on cowboys and handed him bunch of $20s and $100. i wasnt paying attention while he counted as i was distracted. he then claims i shorted him. i grabbed the stack and recounted and indeed was short.

    i was suspicious cause I had counted few mins prior to giving it to him
    and was correct. but was in a hurry to grab the +4 so handed him the extra bill.

    later I counted the cash in my wallet and I was short cause I knew the exact amount I brought. he had put the $100 bill aside and I believe he hid it under it.

    had a feeling he was a scammer.. sounded like a sleezy nyer.

    so should i confront this mofo or tell his supervisor? or just forget it?

    the amount was just $20 so not a big deal cause i'm up 5 figures there but it's the principle and the fact he might be pulling the scam on others who aren't up as big.

          bet your a$$ they will have it on camera.
          Go get your money back when you cash the ticket.

            $20 bucks, let it go. Especially if you play or are playing there a decent amount. Vegas, lots of things could have happened to the $20.

              If its really about principle, make sure the book manager is aware. Its a pretty serious allegation and believe me you, they will look into it.

              Today its twenty, tomorrow hes stealing a hundred and by next week he'll be pocketing dimes

                  Ask them to check the camera.

                    Get the manager.

                    Present it as you are doing HIM a favor.

                    Tell him the $20 is not the point; the fact that there is an employee stealing and it can be seen on a camera is the point. Let him determine how it will go.

                      was probably just a honest mistake flipping through the stack of twenties, one may've gotten stuck behind another, etc. seriously doubt the guy would try and skim a $20 of all bills and make a pocket gesture while on camera.

                      all you need to do is go back and ask the manager to have that guy's till reconciled. this happens at banks all the time and any differences are quickly found.

                        I'm pretty sure you made a mistake. Don't think he will try to steal $20 while being taped.....

                          Yeah, I get all the angles - but is it worth some kids job for $20?

                          He'll eventually get caught, but that shit doesn't have to be on your conscience.

                                If he stole it - then he not only deserves to lose his job - he deserves to be shot. Stealing from someone else is the lowest type of scum on the earth. If he didn't do it, they will see that on tape and laugh at you (assuming you don't play there often - who cares), if he did do it - then he deserves everything that comes with being scum.

                                  The guy who trolls everyone on this site complaining about 20 bucks in a situation where it's highly doubtful he would steal it. Also claims to be up 5 figs without posting any slips, the same thing he ridicules people for. Let's hear the book and see those tickets pal

                                      Go back and ask for a camera review. They will do it.

                                        went to cash my ticket but the thief wasnt there. the clerk that was there was someone i kinda know and friendly with so told him what had happened. he seemed to believe me as he said that was shitty of him to pull something like that and hed let his supervisor know.

                                                  Looking @ his tickets he is most likely @ the Hilton. The Coast Casinos used to print tickets like the ones he posted, but they changed software about 3 months ago.

                                                    Station has smaller print on their tickets, and Southpoint joints have smaller print also. Cantor tickets.. smaller print.


                                                    Hilton it is.

                                                      Follow him home and wait outside his house overnight. Once he leaves in the morning break into his house. Once inside undress until naked and find his wife. Once you locate her act shocked that she is there. Explain you and her husband have sex all the time. She will be devastated! Before you leave remove the protected barriers on all his razors.

                                                        I think this was pretty shitty of you to do. You have no proof and didn't get a camera review but you are spreading around that he's a thief. So now people will be talking behind his back and if he didn't do it he can't confront his accuser or know what tape to have reviewed to clear his name. Don't get me wrong, there are some scumbags in Vegas, but you don't just start spreading stuff and ruin a person's reputation because you think you might have lost $20

                                                        There was a cashier on one of the gambling boats in Myrtle beach who overcounted some $100s when I was cashing in my chips at the end of the cruise, meaning she hand counted $1400 but voice counted the correct amount of $1500. I corrected her and was a little suspicious but didn't say anything. It happened again the next time I went out and I glared at her and curtly told her she was short a hundred again. I still didn't say anything but she didn't stay there for long, probably stealing from the boat too.

Also claims to be up 5 figs without posting any slips, the same thing he ridicules people for. Let's hear the book and see those tickets pal
                                                            crusty is the most pathetic mother fukker on the site, bar none

                                                            Up 5 figures even though he loses every single play he ever posts

                                                              If this really happened you privately ask to speak to the manager or supervisor. They will call surveillance and have footage set aside to view themselves when time allows or a quick review by a surveillance operator(casinos differ in procedures). You won't get to see the footage but if you were shorted you will be paid. Most places suspend and term thieves. If it is LVH they will be quick to pull trigger on any employee theft as they are doing mass layoffs due to bankruptcy. One less potential unemployment claim if termed for theft.

                                                              Saying something to another writer was not the way to handle this.
