Dealer Makes Mistake ,What do you do?

I was playing blackjack and the dealer paid off on a losing hand to the seat next to me . I noticed it and kept my mouth shut ,the player that got the erroneous payout looked at me and smiles and shrugs. He knew .
The question I have is can you get in trouble if they really knew you took a payout on a losing hand.? It was so obvious with this guy . He was almost mocking the dealer . the dealer didn't see this because the guy looked right at me.

One time long, long ago DonDiego was enjoying a blackjack session when the dealer unexpectedly paid him on a push. The gentle, elderly, smiling Asian lady seated next to DonDiego piped up, "What that? You pay on pushes now? How that?"
The dealer sorted through the cards and placed the small stack he had just paid poor, old DonDiego back in his tray.

sulobo9142 should continue to mind his own business, as he has been doing.

Don Diego That was a good one . I didn't say a word it was the fact the guy looks at me. Not that I felt threatened if I did say something . Just reading his mind he was saying " The dealer f---ed up that one ,thank you".

Anybody does this to me will get a drink (and I ALWAYS have a drink) thrown in their face.

If I am paid in error, I always say something. I dont get involved in another player's hand or payoff.

Anyone who tell you how to play your cards --- or points out a dealer error in your favor is an A**hole.

And I will let them know!

Happens all the time. The player doesn't get in trouble.

But I would NEVER say one word about another player's payoff right or wrong.

I contend that this decision is solely between the player and the dealer.

in craps, it is often that dealers will fail to remove a one roll bet on the horn. it just happens that way. several times Ive been paid on an old bet and will point it out. and when that happens, the dealers and floorman will often say-- keep the money-- it was our mistake that we didnt take the bet down.

honesty pays. sometimes I forget to throw a horn high ace-deuce bet on the come out-- and the dealers will "protect" me and pay it should it hit (which often means protecting my passline bet against a craps).

and when it comes to a big hand pay at VP, my standard line is -- for every $100 you overpay me, I will give you $50. I say it with a smile, and the floor people smile back. But we havent made that deal yet. LOL

Although I will correct clerks who give me too much change, I have never noticed a dealer error in my favor. It might even be morally wrong to do so. I have spoken out about a dealer error that cost me, and will speak in support of another player who complains justifiably. I have given players advice when they asked. Other than those specific cases, you play your cards and I'll play mine.

Throwing drinks does not constitute an argument; a brief, pointed lesson in basic strategy makes the case much more effectively. Something to the effect of: "Madam, for the past hour you've been standing on soft 17 and 18 when you should have hit. If you want to give your money away, feel free, but please do not also give away mine."

Besides, many casinos have slow drink service, especially for patrons who may not even consume what they are served.

In the case of the lady who pointed out the casino's error, had I not noticed her making any errors in play, I would have turned to her and said, "Madam, it seems obvious that you are not having fun. Perhaps it is time for you to leave the table. If you don't, I will, and the dealer may have noticed that I am a better tipper." Of course, in order to say that, one must actually be a better tipper. In retrospect, before saying anything it might also be wise to see if the woman has a drink handy.
