My understanding of the situation is that if someone mispays you the minute you do anything aside from hold the money it is legally counted as theft.

I had a spot like this in Vegas in October where I was coloring up at the cage, i had $2k in change and she gave me two flags instead of 2x $1ks. I didn't notice till I got back to my hotel room was sure there had been a mistake so I went down asked them to double check the camera's and see and when it came about there was a mistake I snap gave them the $8k back. I know in vegas they would prolly have figured it out so its a negative freeroll to keep it almost but would have happily returned it even under 100% gte I wouldn't be caught.

As far as I was concerned there wasn't another option, I would have done it for $300, $35,000 and $380,000 if it's not your money it's not your money. I do like the principle of fucking the house over, but I'd rather do it the proper way and win it fair+square. I've never been cohered or ushered into gambling in a casino in my life, I know full well what the deal is when I punt off at craps/blackjack etc and it's completely my choice so I don't see the casino as particularly out to get me. I also don't think financial situation has anything to do with it either, I think it's basically down to scruples. I know some people with >£50 to their name who'd chase a guy down the street to give him a 1er back, and I also know people worth millions who would knock you for their share of a dinner bill at any opportunity.

We were talking about this the other day actually, Jake lost his wallet with like 7k euros in it and we were putting the question out there of what % of people overall would attempt to return the wallet, with the money over just keeping it? Thoughts?

60% (keeping/stealing the money)

60% (keeping/stealing the money)

how much do you think the AMOUNT of money influences the %?

i.e would it go to 35% stealing the money if it was £60, or would it be higher?

Amount makes a huge difference

I'd say 25% would give it back if it was €7000

But more like 95% of people would give it back if it was €20

I've been waiting to do this to one of your posts for years Dave, finally you posted something none strat

[pleno1]

If the casino or persons in question had treated you or your friends very bad previously and basically stole from you how would this change your decision?

It would cause me not to play there.

Everyone on blonde is obviously the joint nicest person in the world. Should be super competitive when they introduce the Nobel Prize for poker

Dave how is giving the casino 8k back better than giving 8k to charity and more evenly distributing the economic wealth of America?

The original question was if you are over paid / given too many chips, would you give the money back?

It seems that some, perhaps even most people would. (Which makes them the nicest people in the world apparently).

Since then, the original question has been modified to "What if they were bad people?" and "What if you gave the money away later?"

My answer is still yes. I would give it back, So I guess I'm still in line for a Nobel Prize.
