Re: Bets after games started sting Bellagio

MGM Resorts allowed nearly a quarter-million dollars in winning wagers to be placed well after the games already started, according to an ESPN report.

The bets were allowed to be placed because incorrect start times were posted on some Chinese and Korean baseball games due to a manual entry error. Nearly all of the bets, about 50 in all, were placed on self-serve kiosks at the Bellagio between 1:30 and 3 a.m. Sunday when the games in question began at 1 and 2 a.m.

Looks like a repeatable timezone hack.
