I have not, post a link that would be great.

From what I know of the facts, yes its a casino not a home game and I would leave this as to be true...

If I can see marks on the cards in a casino, I would play knowing the cards period, IMO its the houses fault for using a marked deck, IE upper management, have a look at the deck stupid! In a home game truth be told I would mention something is marked and in the past I have done this, a casino is not a home, its not people you assoicate with, they have money, your winning money.....If they knew the deck was marked and could control how you bet, for a second do you think they would stop the game!?

Your all welcome to flame me for my opinions. Lookin forward to it.:p

    60 Minutes Video - Arguably the world

    Not sure if this is the full interview as it's only 2:54 minutes long.

    This must just be the teaser preview of the interview as according to this:

    http://www.pokernews.com/news/2014/10/phil-ivey-to-discuss-edge-sorting-lawsuits-on-60-minutes-19407.htm

    the full interview doesn't air until Oct 7.

    Thing is, my understanding is that the cards were not "marked" per se. They were simply not "cut" properly at the manufacturer. Nor were they examined closely enough by the casino as part of their quality control process. This allowed cards with a non-uniform "back" to be put into play. Over time, ANY closely observant player would have noticed something different about them, so it does not surprise me that Ivey (or his associate) did so themselves. To me, the onus is on the casino to catch the flaw and prevent it being exploited.

    As Teddy KGB said, "pay him . . . pay that man his money."

    As an aside, I went through some of the multiple decks of cards that I own, including some WSOP decks. NONE of those decks showed ANY kind of "tell" with respect to a lack of uniformity. Either they were manufactured properly, or I was just not looking hard enough.

    As a December 3, 2013, trial date approached, the Feds made Kane and Nestor separate but identical offers: The first one to agree to testify against the other would walk away with five years of probation and no jail time.

    The old gambling buddies had one more game to play together. It was the Prisoner's Dilemma. Without speaking, they both arrived at the optimal strategy: ...

    okay, guy was obviously addicted, but man what an idiot. you figure out how to beat a specific machine in which there are at least a hundred out there in different casinos. however, you decide to sit at one only and hit jackpot after jackpot in about an hour until the casino is certain that you're fucking with it somehow. seriously guy - how about like four or five jackpots a week between various casinos? no one suspects a thing and you're making like $10,000 a week.

    Once again, Candy Crush finds another victim. I know some on here play, I couldn't bring myself to try any game on FB. Anyone tried the hack Nestor appears to have found?

    Anyone watch the full interview with Ivey that was aired last night?

    Except that even 4 or 5 jackpots a week by the same player would tip them that something was up.

    maybe at the same casino, but he could have traveled to others and split it up. the article stated that there were around 100 of the exact same video poker machines in various casinos. i guess i'm assuming there were some others in his area at different casinos.
  • MiloMilo
    Yes, but that would simply delay the inevitable . . . didn't you watch Casino? Those machines are not supposed to pay out like that.

    He's incompetent, he jeopardizes the whole operation.
