Scooter7:
Firstly, awesome name. They changed my name back to my old JHV account but I was Scooter here for a day - would have felt like a dirty imposter upon seeing an established Scooter already here.
I worked at a land-based casino and have experience in dealing to VIP or Private Room tables where the bet sizes were many, many times my yearly salary and numbers were won and lost in minutes that most people would struggle to accept (I certainly was literally in shock on my first day in VIP as a croupier dealing a Roulette game with what must have been $200,000 on the table each spin - my hands were shaking and I was an experienced dealer).
Obviously as a $16/hr croupier, I had zero authority - and I can't speak for other casinos, but at the casino where I worked, FM's and Pit Bosses could authorise amazing amounts and did so often in such a casual manner, that their flippancy regarding it all was bordering on massively exploitable.
I mean, I was dealing BJ to an Korean millionaire one night and he'd be chopping and changing his bets from $5000 to $20000 pretty randomly. He'd bet maybe 20 in a row at $20000 and then bet $5000. He won the hand, looked genuinely confused and (through his translator) explained he meant to bet $20000. The pit boss just nodded to me and I slid him out another $15000.

There might have been more history with this player than I was privy to obviously, but I'm not sure I would be *that* flippant about claimed mistakes in bet sizing.
But TWENTY THOUSAND bets at the MAX, then a single bet at the min? Come on. If you'd asked me % chance that InterCasino would credit my winnings from that spin after the event, I would have taken bets based on a confidence level approaching 99%+ that they would based on my wagering history consistency.
