Is Edge-Sorting Cheating? Phil Ivey wins millions but casinos claim foul
It's a very subtle difference, but there is a difference. So the most valuable cards in Bakarada are seven through nine, and what he would do when the cards would come out, and if they were seven to nine, he would have the dealer shuffle the deck, only taking those seven to nine cards and flipping them 180 degrees so that when they would come out of the shoe in the future, he could be able to tell exactly where those seven to nine cards are
I haven't seen it, but I'm guessing that the dealer or Croupier handles those cards almost entirely, and that the players really don't handle them. And so the distinct difference between those two games is that in poker, everyone's handling those cards, cards are flipped upside down all around, right? And can be bent as well, et cetera

They have to go to outside agencies that scrutinize code to make sure that everything falls within the laws of probabilities. So again, I'm for anybody who is smart enough to be able to walk into a casino and figure out a way of having an advantage without blatantly cheating

And, yeah, it's a scheme, but it's all things that he asked at a casino, and they obliged to. So I really think it's on the casino to tighten those rules up. And, you know, I've had clients before. I've had customers before. And usually when a customer gets an unfair or it gets an advantage that you hadn't thought of that you took precautions but said, oh, man, I didn't think of that

Everything in the casino, all the rules of the games, everything the way the croupiers deal, the shuffles they use, everything is tipped in the casinos favor so that punters don't win. I mean, it's seeking. Plumb said if there's an anomaly with the deck of cards or any cards. In my experience, the game was stopped and the cards were replaced by the casino. So, yeah, I'm very surprised that they did that
