Had a bet today in a Ladbrokes shop (not entirely for myself) which was lucky enough to win and returned £1412.50. The girl counted out the money and I just put it straight in my pocket. I stayed in the shop and had another couple of bets and won a small amount which they didn't have the cash to pay me so I said I would return tomorrow. When I got back to the car and counted the bundles she had given me I realised that she had paid me £100 too much but had obviously not discovered it yet but given how long I had stayed I don't think they would have traced it to me. Do you take it back? In terms of mitigating factors etc they are always fair to me in there and it is the only Ladbrokes close to where my parents live, I know from working for Ladbrokes that a £100 cash difference could be a firing offence (but is probably only like a 20% shot), I am not exactly flush at the moment and it isn't an insignificant sum for me but giving it back isn't going to ruin Xmas etc, they try and lay me a bet in there (most Ladbrokes are like that to be fair) and definitely treat me better than 90% of shops I go in, in terms of my dealings with Ladbrokes in my name they don't entertain me at all and actually a few things they have done this year have caused me some significant difficulties.
I have already made my decision but just interested in what others would do.

Return the £100, & you'll feel better.
If you don't, & they start messing you around, you'll be thinking "if only I had taken that £100 back".
You expect to be paid in full, & you'd be miffed if they short-changed you. That's a 2 way street.

It would for me 100% depend on if I would have got the money back if it was me who had been shorted. Regardless of the answer being due to honesty or incompetence.
Go back in, if they dont remember they gave you too much then whats the chances they remember theyd paid you too little.

Put it on a 16/1 shot. It's like giving it back anyway. Tip them a oner if it comes in

I would return it as otherwise the gambling gods will look down on you dimly and you will knock in a lot more than the extra hundo you now have.....

Keep it, tip the staff £50 when your next in.
Think how many times they have mugged punters off, how likely is it they spot the £100 and sack an individual? I mean how do you trace it?

Like that.
Stick it on one of Eso Kral's tips, it's effectively the same as giving the £100 back, but it satisfies the gambling bug. They give you an "I am an Ice Cream" sticker, too.

Ladbrokes 100% trace it. Her till will be £100 wrong. When I worked for Ladbrokes nearly 20 years ago I remember a staff member getting fired for a £100 cash difference....it is obviously worth a bit less now and circumstances might be different etc but she gets a severe bollocking and written warning at best I would think. Pretty sure I got a written warning for a score difference all those years ago (although I was worlds worst cashier to be fair....too busy watching the racing)
