Regardless of value, make 2 copies include one in your mailing to let them know you still have a copy of the original.

Vegas yes (Sports wager in 2009)... Race track no...

I mailed in a winning BC Classic futures ticket on Concern in 1994 to the Imperial Palace casino in LV.
It was worth 3-$400. Can't remember exactly.

Long story short, it never made it into their mailbox.
It was cashed, however - most likely by a crooked mail employee in LV.
Apparently, I wasn't the only complaint of this type at the time.

Never done it since, but if I did, it would be by registered mail.
I was moving house at the time - had other priorities, and little spare time.
Sometimes you learn the hard way.....

Had to figure it wouldn't make it to the mailbox......scum of the earth

you should wait until the last couple weeks before the voucher becomes worthless
(unless you need the cash for a BigMac)

[wiffleball whizz]

Just a general question guys......the whizz is flush city rapids

Mailed a horse or football bet back to Caesar's once - I believe the instructions said to use registered mail and insurance. This was back in the mid 1990s, so I can't remember if I made a copy of it.

Got my check for $80 or $90 or whatever within a couple of weeks.

used to allways mail tickets to the meadows (harness) years, years ago before they had xpress bet -it was either drive the distance(far from pgh) so I mailed many a winning $400-$500 tickets and check came in mail
long time ago also also mailed sports ticket to vegas -regular mail and check arrived no problem

when I would send to meadows I allways addressed attn. mutual manager-and I would get name from front of program

But if anyone was curious what lamboguy was referring to, it was the former owner of the Imperial Palace and his tendency to throw parties on Hitler's birthday, among other things.

I sent a winning ticket on Thunder Rumble in the Travers to Excelsior LV by registered mail, no problems getting paid.

Harmarville should survive. No need for Moon or West Mifflin since the OTB in Washington is Vegas-like and nicely situated away from the casino noise. New Castle should be next to go as soon as Hollywood at Mahoning Valley Race Course opens a year from now.

I guess you gotta better chance of getting paid if you send it to a casino

Try sending a uncashed ticket to freeeeeeeehold and let me know how u make out..1/9 u get stiffed

Yes, me and my 2nd wife were at SA for the Santa Anita derby the year Gentleman won. I did not realize that I had a winning ticket on a race from Chicago (Hawthorne or AP ?) until I get back to B'more. Mailed it in and received $300+ within 5-7 business days. I do not think the trax are out there to scam you re: a winning ticket.
