Computer Snafu Results in Faulty OTB Tickets

A computer bug took place at the OTB Corp. and allowed approximately 300 betting indivuals in New York City  to be awarded faulty tickets. OTB President Raymond Casey says the error on Wednesday resulted in the decimal point to move 2 spaces in either direction. As a result, a $79 win, for example, was reduced to 79 cents. A $840 hit increased to $84,000. Various individuals reported filling giddy when learning about their “wins.” A clerk is the one who noticed the error. The issue has resulted in the stoppage of OTB operations for 4 hours.
