Question
hi

friends just came bk and stayed at holiday inn. they said they had trouble at the sports book betting horses, have you heard anything about that?  thanks

Answer
Hi Terry!  It's hard to answer this question without knowing what problems they had. However, the only thing I know when I am wagering at any sportsbook in Aruba, is that they do not pay you (if you win) unless it comes in confirmed by the computer system they use. There were times I knew I won, but had to wait 15 minutes tops before they paid me. They did explain this to me. Otherwise, I never had a problem. I hope they were 18 years or older, as that can create a problem for them to get paid. ( Must be 18 + to enter/gamble).  If there is anything more specific you can tell me, feel free to call on me again!!!
