It's always good form to tip the cashier a couple bucks, it's the polite thing to do. Staying late to cash out 45k should deserve perhaps $20 or so.

I don't work in a sportsbook anymore, but before i did- I always tipped when I won and I continue to do so. Most people do, why Phil Mickelson is excused is beyond me.

They must have all the insider trading on Wall Street cleaned up if they have to come to Vegas to find it.

There are more stock scams than the SEC can shake a stick at. I'd be surprised if they investigate more than 1% of the real scams.

This. Tipped people are usually delivering a personal service were the tip is designed to reward or encourage a higher level of service and their compensation is usually built around the expectation of tips (i.e. in most states poker dealers and waitresses are allowed to be paid below minimum wage). A cashier on the other hand (and that is what the person counting the money out for you at the sportsbook is) is simply completing a transaction for you on behalf of the casino and no tip should be expected. It would make about as much sense as expecting the casino to tip the runner a sports better sends to place his bet in the first place. For you people outraged by Phil Mickelson not tipping, do you tip the check out clerk at the grocery store when you have a particularly full cart? It is the exact same thing.

But you're factually wrong. Sportsbook cashiers do derive a significant portion of their income from tips. You can argue about whether you think that they should, but in the meantime- they do.
