I'm playing at a game and the women next to me is playing $100 a hand. $50 on her hand and $50 on the side bet. She had been doing this for about an hour and had blown through a couple thousand bucks. The whole time the PC is sitting there watching pretty intently. She ends up hitting the side bet big for 100 times her bet. The dealer starts to reach in the tray to grab chips for her and IMMEDIATELY the PC says to dealer, "She only gets $2500, max bet on the side bet is $25". The guy was sitting there and watched her drop $50 on it for the past hour over and over and over, every single hand, he didn't say a thing about her losing $50 each time but as soon as she won he acted like he'd been waiting for that moment to screw her over. I know it wasn't my business and dumb to say anything but I told him what a load of garbage that was and he knew it. The dealer also complained saying she'd been playing it like that the whole time. He said, "I didn't see anything except the last hand, so you can give her back her additional $25 chip she over wagered on that last hand" and then smirked. This woman was practically throwing her money at them and then she gets lucky and hits something for a little more than she had lost so far and that is how they treat her? What a low life piece of....

See the right thing to do is keep quite because of what we do ..... but when am playing and when something like this happens, I find it hard to keep my mouth shut!

I mean, you wouldn't keep quite if another person is getting short changed in everyday life!

Did you tell the woman to complain to the gaming authority? (If there was one.) What they did was illegal; if they accept a bet they have to honor the result, and if they pick up a losing bet they have accepted the bet. The only exception is if a maximum payout is defined on the table.

I didn't tell her to complain to anyone but guess I should have. They have one of the little table signs that define the side bet and say you could only wager 1-25 but it was laying flat on the table and so wasn't visible. I admit complete ignorance as to how the law would work here but they had accepted the $50 bet dozens of times before this happened.

If the tables were reversed, they would have us put in jail for stealing from the casino. :flame:

Meh, I don't say anything or care about any transactions between the house and a ploppy.

I see ploppies get short paid all the time. I never say anything since all it's going to do is slow down the game. In the past I did say something, and never really got any appreciation for it, so why bother?

Though one time some lady hit a big hand on a game I was watching (I was standing) and she was giving money to everyone at the table, so I corrected the dealer on a $150 short pay. She gave me a green, so that was worthwhile.

She may have been entitled to the 2500 plus a refund of the overbets. zg
