This is a great PR move for the sports book involved. If nothing else, customers now know this place is going to honor the prices it posts. Bettors can hardly ask for anything more than this and fair prices.
One thing I did not know until yesterday, that was a written ticket on a bet made at the window. I had always assumed it was done online. You mean a teller made that bet and handed the ticket and didn't notice that error?
In tellers' defense, they print a lot of tickets with crazy odds. Gotta keep the machines humming so it's on the bettors to check tickets, or move on. And you know that bettor took the ticket and ran from the window like it was on fire. But yeah, definitely great PR for the book and well-played on timing.

In the "not legalized" department, a Florida amendment passed yesterday that will outlaw greyhound racing by 2020.
