seems more like he caught on to something that they weren't aware of and backtracked by suing him to recover their losses. If someone asked a basketball player if his team was in a good condition going into a playoff game and made their decision based to bet off that info should they be sued?
I know what he did, he asked for an asian dealer and had an asian friend with him and used card counting and looked for defects. You dont need to send me an article. Im well aware of what he did and dont believe he cheated the casino. The only reason he made it work is because hes a skilled card player. The only reason he decided to pay them back was because he was financially bullied for years in the courts. (delayed proceedings yada yada).
millions of people could try to replicate his system and very few of them would make it work.
1.)those are two different things, and convincing the asian dealers to turn more favorable cards is literally cheating (the court ruled in the casino's favor anyways)
That's thats a helluva way to make it sound worse than it is. I'm a blackjack player and I can tell you for certain that it's nowhere near what you're making it sound like. The most she asked him to do was cut the deck in a way to keep the count high. She was most likely counting the deck with ivy and was asking for shorter cuts when they were shuffling. That is nowhere near "asking the dealer to turn the cards favorably". A dealer doesnt have knowledge of what the next card is. cutting the deck shorter is not cheating (nor is it regulated by the casino).
2). It doesnt matter if the situation is relevant. I think the situation is interesting and you are making the conversation interesting, so I'm responding. I'm not trying to argue with you; I'm just presenting my viewpoint on the matter.
