Trying to cash out an already claimed ticket

[Marykeller]

Won't it be out of stupidity that someone uses a ticket that its winning were already taken, to reclaim the winning.

Well, the Indian woman didn't know that his boyfriend had already claimed the winnings before she thought of playing a smart run on him. If she really had that knowledge, she wouldn't dare to indulge in such an act.

Every casino has a record of those gamblers who have claimed their winnings with their tickets, and that are in the casino's system; there is no way someone will come back later to claim a ticket that has been paid

What was the woman really thinking? And I thought after a ticket had been claimed, the shop used to withhold or trash the ticket, the woman needs to be questioned about how she got the ticket, before the crime of trying to claim what's not hers, imagine she came earlier before the main winner she could have claimed that winning and leave before anyone will notice and for she to have that mind it means she might have done it before.

The way agent shops operate in my country, anyone who holds the ticket can easily go claim the winning because the ticket is what proves ownership, and I don’t think those shops' cameras record every player's face enough to know which one played which bet, especially when payments are being made with cash.

This is also the same thing in my country. The person with the original copy of the winning slip owns the bet and he's 100% free to withdraw the money and there will be no case to answer. Perhaps, such reason is why the player in question needs to pay more attention to his slip. Because nobody will be held accountable for his own careless and that's how it is.

Moreover,  most of the centres in my area has no functionable cameras that can aid or support an effective investigation if the need for that occur. Therefore, this why till tomorrow if you can't secure your winnings slips after several toying around with your hard earned money then you're just on your own because even if you fight till next year, your money is gone for good.

That is why gambler should be very careful. Confirm the results of the game before throwing away that slip. There was a time I left my slip in my jeans short. I searched all week for the slip but didn't see it. I thought I have lost it or that person stole it from me. It was after I washed that short that I now later began to see pieces of paper and right there, my mind now took me back to the slip I was looking for .

Thank my stars that it wasn't winning slip because I don't think of I would have forgiven myself for losing money in that kind of dumb way.

Did you read the full story? Cause if you did you wouldn't ask how she got it but know she stole it from her companion who's the real owner of the ticket. According to story he complained to the Casino of misplacing his ticket but was given the cash he won after they confirmed he was right and recognized for having the winning game.

The culprit came few minutes later to cash in same ticket and was apprehended, for the ticket owner to deny giving it to her means she stole it. I think she's a druggies cause she had an instrument for taking methamphetamine, you know how desperate druggies are in search of funds to satisfy their addiction.

The moral of the story here is don't steal a winning ticket, because some casinos can confirm who owns the ticket, and there are CCTVs to monitor everything in the vicinity, and you cannot fool the casino just because you have the ticket.
In the past, you could do it because casinos had a " has ticket can claim" policy.

An Indiana woman is facing felony charges for allegedly trying to cheat casino staff by cashing in a winning sports betting ticket despite knowing the winnings were already taken. Luckily, surveillance footage was enough to detect the attempt and prevent the alleged theft.

According to staff, the suspect claimed her earlier companion had given her the ticket to cash, which the winner denied.

Do you have this kind of story in your local casinos?

It happens all the time. We have people that always try to steal or take advantage in everything that involves money as an outcome and gambling is not an exception.

I remember one time someone walked up to me with a winning ticket, but this one wasn't claimed yet and I still had it sitting in my wallet. The problem was, I knew damn well he wasn't the person who booked those games and that the original owner of that ticket might have misplaced it because he, apparently was a drunk. So I withheld the payment and although, he pressured and even requested to see the manager, I refused to pay him.

After retrieving the ticket, he was asked a few questions like what teams he selected and options he chosed, just to be sure he was the owner, but as expected he fumbled and was later arrested.

If you are regular customer with one of these casinos that operates offline, they will know you and establish some kind of friendship with you such that they can give you their phone number in case you have a bet you want to stake and it's almost getting to starting time or maybe you have a winning that you want them to confirm the winning by sending a screenshot of the winning bet slip. This could probably be what happened or they both wanted to do some dirty work but it backfired.

Are you aware that some casinos do confirm a won bet even before the winner arrives to claim it with their bet slip. Bet slip is the only way to claim winnings but there are people that can still claim the winning depending on your understanding with the betting agents.
