A Delaware sports bettor was overpaid $1,800 on a parlay wager he made in mid-2018. The casino and the patron were initially unable to reach terms, so an arrest warrant for felony theft was issued for the patron.

"Golding and a state trooper assigned to gaming matters were in communication with regard to him returning the money, but that process went awry and on July 19, 2018, which was 13 days later, a warrant for his arrest for felony theft was issued. The criminal charges were later dropped when Golding ultimately returned the extra money on Aug. 16, within a 30-day window Dover Downs gave him."

EDIT: lol... sports "better" -- sorry about the typo in the title

monopoly's bank error in your favor card has skewed a lot of people's perception of these situations

further perpetuated by the age old classic "Finders, Keepers".

i'm also starting to realize that apparently possession is not really 9/10ths of the law in most cases.

either you have integrity or you don't.
