Edit: I’m kidding but it’s real. Blue was +1400. Black/brown had the likeliest odds, if not green at +200

u/Pandamoanium8 19d ago

Yeah but that guy was dumb enough to brag about it on social media immediately. If you just STFU, take the arrest/ticket/ban/etc, it would be difficult to get caught. Even harder if you have a friend place the bet so it's not in your name.

Don't quote me on this, but my understanding is that its very unlikely to be enforced at entry but if a person who was previously banned gets in trouble for something like this again then the cops can hit them with bigger trespassing type charges.
