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.
My 2008 Macbook died in March, that triggered me to mostly use my 2013 Pixel for dev. Although I do have an 27 iMac at home.
My dev is mostly Web Dev + GCP and moving to Firebase (canonically all front end dev). Hence even though I have Ubuntu via Crouton, I rarely need a local Fuse file system. For node work and CLI work I spin up a GCP VM. The VM costs about $13 per month, but I turn the VM off and pay pennies for storage.
