Perhaps it part ignorance of the bettor that he/she didn't realize
how long the ticket is valid. Just because one casino has a time
limit and every other one doesn't make the Stratosphere the bad guy.
It's like going to a store to make a return. One has a 30 day
policy, another 60 days and another forever. 3 different comapnies,
3 different policies. That's like returning an item one place that
had the 30 day policy a year later. You can whine and moan all you
want, but if it is there in print, too baddo.
How can you say that players have no equity in a drawing? You earn
your tickets by playing. If you play a lot, then you have greater
equity than some one who doesn't.
I just guess $1000 means a lot more to me.
