it's a long story but I'll try to make it short as I can for a comprehensively.

Yesterday while I was putting together some predictions for a parley bet as the EPL and other leagues has just kicked off. In the process I started experiencing network hitches problem which I wasn't getting comfortable with. Suddenly another idea erupted in my head, why not just go straight to any of the sports betting shops closer and book these games at once. So I zoomed off.

On getting there with ease I was able to book my games using their computer and taking my ticket. In the brief time I was in the shop I noticed how one of the cashier was addressing another of the cashier angrily (it was later I learned that he is the head cashier). So out of curiosity I couldn't mind my business, I inquired as to what could be the problem why he was talking with such an angry tune on his coworker.

He then told me how a gambler had walked into the shop and played sessions of virtual games worth #32k (in our local currency) and disappeared without paying. I was confused, like how did that happened I asked. He had to go into details explaining that when the strange guy played his first game he won #18k for which he didn't ask to be paid but continued gambling using the winning cash until he lost it all back to the shop. Out of confidence, the cashier didn't bother requesting for money for the next sessions thinking that after the guy might have been done gambling he will calculate the total loss for payment to be made or he perhaps might get another lucky win in the middle to cover for it in part or whole since he was able to get a win in the first game played. But unfortunately for him, the strange guy had another intention in mind, disappearing at the slightest minute the cashier's attention was diverted from his sight.

I felt dumbfounded by the stupidity of the cashier as I was speechless to say the least, I just had to tell him that the manager of the shop should install a CCTV camera in the shop to prevent future roguery of this nature.

Questions for discussion:
Why would a gambler adventure in such a risk knowing the embarrassment he would have received or even getting arrested for it.

If you happen to be the manager of that gambling shop what will be your action towards the foolishness of such an employee. Will it just be an angry shout or beyond that?

Do you think there is any measure through which the strange guy could be identified since there was no CCTV cameras stationed in and outside the shop environs?

The whole fault lies with the cashier. because normally as a cashier of a gambling bet office you are supposed to be vigilant with your customers more especially in the virtual side because if you are not smart enough you will see that at the end of the day you are going to end up paying unnecessary debts.

One strategy that most customers normally use in virtual betting is after placing a bet without paying immediately. they observe to see how smart you are, and before you know they'll still place another game just to confuse you further. However, I think the best way for a cashier to overcome this is by using a calculator to keep track of the balance, which can help resolve any potential disputes.

Actually its really that part of your job or work on which its just that normal that you should really be that attentive for whatever possible things that could happen. It would really be just that dumb of you
if you do let someone do make out some bets just because you do assume or presume that he might be able to win up the next bet? That would really be a suicide and you are really that putting up your job
at risks or simply losing it. Who would really be on their right minds that will really be letting someone to make out some bet because they are confident that a certain bettor would be able to hit up on next bet?
It would really be just that understandable that human beings do commit out mistakes but this one is really just that too risky for you to do such thing.

When money is involved then it will really be always recommended on having that proper calculations and of course, dont let someone do make out or place bets without paying up.
It is really that common sense. No matter what situations they are into, always be attentive into the work you do have. Always having that secure transactions so that you wouldnt
really be putting up yourself on such tough situations such as this.
