Las Vegas Saves over $100K After Cubs Fans Don't Cash World Series Bets
Chicago Cubs fans apparently value memorabilia over dollar signs.
According to ESPN.comโs David Purdum, over 30 percent of bets placed on the Chicago Cubs to win last yearโs World Series were not cashed in byย the May deadline. While most of the bets were small, Las Vegas ended up saving more than $100,000 in payouts.
Many fans are believed to be keeping the tickets as a souvenir, though a manager at the Golden Nugget said theyโd "be happy to make a copy of it."

Per Purdum, one fan explained why he was hanging onto his $10 bet.
"Between ticket stubs, W towels, a lucky penny I picked up when I landed in Cleveland for Game 6 and the winning bet from Vegas, I'm gonna do something really cool with all the mementos," 32-year-old Brian Glickman said. "I'm not cashing it."
