I absolutely agree with you, Hockey. I have never heard of a Sport's
Book with this outrageous rule or with this type nasty attitude
towards their customers. IMO, if records to back up the win are
still available, there shouldn't be ANY time limit on collecting on
a valid winning bet.
Unless the casino never intended to pay off on their losing bets,
it's actually advantageous to them to allow the player all the time
he/she would like to take. After all, the casino has free use of
the money that the player won during that time.
The fact that the Stratsphere did not honor the Wizard of Odds'
winning ticket, should be fair warning to all players to avoid
patronizing that casino.
I believe that the same premise should apply to ALL gift cards, TITO
paper etc. I can't imagine any justification for not paying the
customer, or letting the customer redeem the full amount that was on
the ticket or gift card.

The terms on the Strat's ticket are an absolute joke. Those
familiar with sports betting in Nevada will confirm that some books
have terms of six months for payment but MOST have ONE YEAR stated.
I can't think of ANY other books that have 60 days on them for
sports bets (pari mutual wagers do have a shorter term due to the
nature of the wager).
The Strat's 60 day period was made for no other reason but to try to
increase their profits by refusing to honor tickets.....

The event date was 9/22/07 and the winning ticket expired
60 days later. It says right on the ticket, "Sports tickets are
valid for 60 days after the event."
The ticket is no INVALID. Period......
