Really difficult decision vs Spantard

[RED-DOG]

Earl Grey is immense

Also after they scammed Pete I wouldn't be giving the bastards a penny back. In fact I'd be more likely to give it to Pete than the casino.

Lol.

I still don't know who 'They' are or what they did to Pete.

They being the casino

They allowed Pete to bet more than the max for over an hour playing table games but when he won they reduced his bet to the table max and paid out up to that. Big debacle with the floor staff, they offer no rebate or compensation at all.

What if I found a big bag of money abandoned somewhere? Blonde angels are saying I should hand it in to the police because somebody made the mistake of losing it. I would disagree and say divine intervention, of which we know very little, has put this bag in my path and I should go on holiday in thanks. I don't like strict black & white judgments about moral integrity. Situations that question ethics are usually grey areas so people should be free to make judgement calls based on their own interpretation of an individual situation. I would rectify the mistake from a fellow player because a multitude of factors tell me it's the right thing to do. But a few years ago the bank sent me a cheque for £6k and then the next day they sent me another cheque for £6k by mistake. Did I rectify that mistake? Did I bollocks.

The money found in a bag on the street is a different concept altogether imo, because you have no obvious way of returning it to it's rightful owner (clearly the "right" thing to do if possible" then keeping it becomes way more likely - in fact, I'd quite likely keep it myself. If I found a wallet and it had someone's name in it or was easy enough to track the owner down, then returning it becomes (as far as i'm concerned) the only option.

Thats illegal in this country. All bets over the table max must be refunded after the ball has landed and before any bet is cleared. Im pretty sure that would be the case in Spain too.

[DMorgan]

Oh yeah I'm sure its illegal in Spain too but they're no doubt aware that tourists staying for a week that don't speak Spanish to a high level can't do a thing about it.

Are you telling us what we're saying, or did someone actually say that? It's difficult for us to argue if you're going decide what our words and opinions are.

Also, Why are we 'blonde angels' just because we're doing what we think is the right thing? (Dubai called us boy scouts lol). Are you not also doing what you think is the right thing?

Does it make your point stronger if you give us a label that makes us sound a bit ridiculous?

Note: because text is such a difficult medium in some circumstances, let me make it clear that as far as I'm concerned, this is just light-hearted debate.

I'm smiling.

If I found a wallet and it had someone's name in it or was easy enough to track the owner down, then returning it becomes (as far as i'm concerned) the only option.

So if there is no obvious way to identify the rightful owner you would decide it is yours to keep. Many people would say the police have a better chance of tracking down the rightful owner than you and it is not yours to keep. But for you easy identification is an important factor in the decision. The most important factor for me if I found a wallet would be how much I need the money. If my family were desperate at home because we couldn't pay the bills and there was no food in the fridge I would fist pump keep that money. If I was young, single, with no responsibilities, and plenty of money I would find it very easy to tell everyone I would always hand it in.
