Just a thought from a horseplayer....

If I played the horses at this OTB, I'd be worried the place closes. I don't think ADW's are legal in Maine and it's a big state....

I wonder if their excepting job applications. I'd be willing to move there and even agree to stay late & close up every night. Give me the old guy's passcode and they could keep the $9 an hour.

Safe to say Ben Affleck wasn't the accountant there.

From the first day onward you are trying to keep it as close to that number as possible. Depending on the size of the OTB you have a pick-up and delivery anywhere from daily to weekly. If you had a big week and have more than your number on hand you do a deposit through the armored car pick up. If you get cleaned out you get a delivery through the armored car. You also at least once a week get audited in person. When you count the safe you take the big bills and roll your thumb through each stack to ensure there are all big bills in that stack. So say you have 100k in hundred dollars bills. You count it based on the stack size then run you thumb through both sides of the stack to ensure you don't have a bunch of dollar bills in there. You count everything including quarters and dimes. Somebody wasn't doing their job somewhere.
Agreed, and it sounds like you have first hand knowledge.

I have to believe three things:

1) Didn't act alone.
2) There's no way he hit enough winners to ponzi it forward to keep the till balanced.
3) Something must have changed in the cash reconciliation protocols which prevented him from continuing.

His hand probably wouldn't have been in the till.
