Gambler was being robbed

[BlackMambaPH]

Recently, a Korean National has been robbed here in my place while riding the Taxi going home and lose the money that he won in the casinos, Its around 4Million Pesos or $75,000. This is not new in gambling industry since many incidents like this before. Do you ever think its a real accident or its just an inside job where the employees of casinos are involve or the casino itself?

It might be but If this is connected to the casino this is terrible. How come you'll build a casino and then if your player won you will do like this? Maybe the opponent of winner the who made that robbery and may the taxi involved too. The reported video is so incomplete.

It looks like an inside job, when you mention pesos I think of a poor South American country in which this happened. The fact that the individual stolen was of another nationality makes me believe it even more to be an inside job. Policeman I am sure they are also corrupted there by the thieves so no chances for the Korean where to complain about this. Sad story, that is why online gambling is always the best, these accidents do not happen.

It's hard to complain when you are not in your country, the justice system of the Philippines is worst and you are right, policemen are sometimes part of this criminal activity so the more it's harder to solve the case. This is a normal scenario in a corrupt country, so like you said, it's better to gamble online if you are serious with it, and just gamble in a local casino if you decide to have fun.

Why do casinos give such large winnings in cash?
There should really be an option to have that sort of money deposited straight to your bank account.

I imagine it could happen in my country (Belgium) as well, but not nearly as often though.
It's generally pretty safe here, aside from petty crime.

I think there was such an option, but probably the guy had chosen to not do it. It maybe has something to do with taxes. If you win $75,000 you have to pay taxes on that, right? And maybe the guy in question wanted to evade it. Don't be penny wise and pound foolish, as a proverb says. Another option, he was drunk and wasn't aware much of what he was doing. Don't drink and gamble, guys, because it's bad for your health and can be bad for your wealth as well. Be safe!

Knowing Philippines which they do really questioned out if theres something big amounts being credited on your bank account and that where 12% will be charged up incase.So, im aint surprised why
that dude opt out to get cash instead on direct bank transfer but well getting robbed is on exchange. We wont know if this is an inside job nor there are really people who
are targeting people who do make big winnings and wait for them outside.

Although 12% is a pretty high part of the money to call it negligible, you must understand what are you actually paying for. You are paying for your safety, in this particular case, and trying to cut down your expenses in such cases is not advisable. It's better to be safe now than sorry later, as a proverb says. $66,000 is still a good win, and that what the person in question would have after paying 12% in taxes. And now he has nothing because he wanted to have $9,000 more. That's what can be called greed imo.

It's even harder as the official itself can be part of those illegal doers, in anyhow not just in the Philippines but also in other places, maybe it is so common that criminal activities around this country is really chronic and it's includes government officials so better to be more careful when you choose playing around casinos.

There are a lot of cases like this back then, and all I can say is that it is indeed a huge amount of money and I feel sad for the gambler since he has risked almost everything just to get that kind of money in the casino, incidents like this are really painful to see and should be avoided as such, don't use the taxis or sny vehicle that could get you compromised, instead use an uber or something that you'll know you are secured.

Somehow I think it would be insider job as they would know that they have won the money and leaving the casinos. They would have their person outside and would indicate them that he has won this much amount and they would rob and give them some % to them and rest might go back to casinos.

There are hundreds of stories all over the internet about casino winners that were robbed on their way out of the casino, in the car park, were followed home, etc. There are many lessons to learn from these incidents, but the main lesson is this: If you are cashing out, always ask for a check and not cash. Most of the people that get robbed walk out of the casino with large amounts of cash.

There’s a bigger possibilities that there’s a big man behind this incident and maybe one of the officials are part of that syndicate. Its not hard to complain if you’re willing to do so but the foreigner refuse to do it and just accept the fact that his money is gone. Corrupt politicians really making a negative impact for the foreigner, well its happening around the world its just happen that we don’t have a political will.

I think this in an inside job or a gang that frequently hang around in casinos. It is very unlikely that exactly the taxi with the guy with 75k in his pocket gets robbed. There is a chance but its very unlikely. So I would guess it is an inside job or a organised gang operating in the casino.

[emberbekas]

There are many possibilities about the robbery. It could have been planned or just happened, because there's a chance. The risk of carrying a lot of money, especially what is known by others, is certainly very high. And that happens not only in matters relating to gambling. And yes, at casino, there could be some bad guys who oversee gamblers and when there is an opportunity, they can do bad stuff for their own benefit.

Too sad for that guy that he don’t even think to prioritize his own safety considering that he’s carrying huge cash, I’d rather to check in and enjoy the night than to risk everything. Its an inside job for sure, well bad things will happen to those guys who are more greedy and commit crimes time will come for that.

$75k is a lot of money. It does not have to be casino, even if you come out from a bank with $75k cash then you need to take proper security measurement. You can not just blame the casino. He won that huge sum of money meaning he got attention from people. They were following him and when they got chance they took the money.

The may use helps from his friends and family. He could call someone to give him companion for the night.

But the sad fact that most people are way too careless on thinking about their safety.Money is money and every people who are in need will definitely kill anyone without any hesitation if they do know they are holding big amount not only to this country but worldwide.If money thing involves then for sure there would be a crime so as a gambler or just a typical person do brings a lot of cash then
you should prioritize your safety first.

If you are talking about a inside job that someone from casino's tip it to a gang, I really doubt about it. They could have tip a lot more people with huge amount of money not just $75K.

The blame is on the guy himself because he didn't take care of his money when he get out of the casino. It maybe a real gang who operated on that casino and targeting people alone, who make a good winnings and not aware of their surroundings when they left.

At least there is someone who knows that the person is carrying a lot of money from gambling. The OP should be able to update the latest information on this issue, and I think this problem has been handled by the law to investigate who did it. Apart from that, I guess wherever someone gambles will surely find a concern because it involves money, money is a factor of the initial crime. Moreover, online gambling is very vulnerable to hacker crimes, they will be more free to look for targets because there will be no one watching from the authorities such as the police are different from real-world crimes the factors that make thieves do not commit crimes is much, which he feared there were police , or the target of the person who will be stolen because he could fight and use firearms.

I think there is a correlation between the casino and the taxi because the taxi driver doesn't know about the gambler who can win much money. But it could happen if the gambler says directly to the taxi driver that he can win a big money and now he wants to go home and suddenly the taxi drivers have a bad intention to get that money. But again, we don't know the true story behind of the robbery and it is an important lesson for us to ask someone to go home with us and protect us.

So many incidents like this and yet we are still doing the old habit. Its given that its too risky to bring huge cash anywhere you go this should be the common think of every people whether you’re from casinos or not. I see this incident as an inside job where those inside the casinos already have the contact outside to robbed those gambler who won big.

 It would be reasonable to suspect the casino if theives robbing the winners was common thing. Could be that the thief was trailing the Korean man from the casino.
I thought Casinos pay large wins directly into winners account?

Yes, these much big Winning amount should be transferred directly into the winner's bank account or cross cheque should be given which should be cashed only the him. Also i guess that in this particular case, it seems that someone from the casino actually knew this and he might be the one who follow the winner and stole his earnings.
