If the casino paid the bets out and graded it incorrectly, which is what happened, then he is under no obligation to return anything. This isn't stealing and your comparison is ridiculous. Obviously, if it was stealing, then the casino would go after him legally, which they have not...because it is not stealing. You think they would just let it slide out of the goodness of their hearts? LMFAO:0074

Hilton sports book director Jay Kornegay said the mistake was discovered Sunday and the company made the decision to absorb the loss.

The casino calculated the risk and weighed the factors and made the decision not to pursue it based on that.

Whether they were technically and legally right or wrong is irrelevant.

Let's say they are legally right to get the money back - when you factor in the cost of trying to attain that money, it might balance out to zero. PLUS the added negative media attention it would have attracted and tarnishing the event in future years.

OR, they could say - ok, we asked for it back, they don't want to give it back and when you look at the overall amount, we don't want to run the risk of tainting the future moneyflow. We'll eat this loss because of the goodwill it will produce.

You are a very sad individual. How can you possibly compare an 88 year old woman with a small fixed income being robbed blind by her son to a multi billion dollar corp. over paying a contestant in a contest? :facepalm:

I've never taken anything that didn't belong to me in my LIFE.

You and your brother are two peas in a pod! :mj07:

I'm guessing he can justify HIS actions, too.

Look at your comment, now back to mine. Now back at your comment now back to mine. Sadly it isn?t mine, but if you stopped trolling and started posting legitimate comments it could look like mine. Look down, back up, where are you? You?re scrolling through comments, writing the comment your comment could look like. What did you post? Back at mine, it?s a reply saying something you want to hear. Look again the reply is now diamonds. Anything is possible when you think before you post.

Little too strong... I admire that you've never taken anything but that's some pretty judgmental shit there.

A serial killer is not the same as someone that runs over the neighbor's dog.

You're right. But when the guy runs over the neighbor's dog and brags about it.......he's an asshole.
