In a way, the casino could argue here that the dealer and Ivey conspired to rip off the casino no matter how much the dealer denies it. What is - kilboooooo, SuperFeud Champion and Tenth Astronaut Oct 31, 10:52 1
- That's a known. The pit boss and the manager of the casino both authorized all bets. -- nm - David Oct 31, 10:56
The casino isn’t asking the player to modify how the game is played -- nm - znoooooofrii Oct 31, 10:48 10
- But if he'd lost, they would have kept that money. It's a pretty black and white discussion. -- nm - David Oct 31, 10:53 8
  - I agree with David. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Oct 31, 10:55 1
    - yes, very "black and white" -- nm - mud Oct 31, 10:57
  - If the fix didn’t work, he would never have been in for a meaningful amount in the first place. -- (edited) - znoooooofrii Oct 31, 10:54 5
    - To the contrary, he gambles 8 figures on a weekly basis. -- nm - David Oct 31, 10:55 4
      - That’s as may be, but he most likely wouldn’t have been in that particular game. -- (edited) - znoooooofrii Oct 31, 10:56 3
        
        Sure he would have. He'd played that very game three days prior for a similar amount. Your arguments just don't hold. -- nm - David Oct 31, 10:59 2
        
        I assume you meant to say he played a normal version of that game? - znoooooofrii Oct 31, 11:02 1
        
        Dude. -- nm - David Oct 31, 11:04
- Yeah, they just freaking modify it if they feel like it. No asking. -- nm - crash davis Oct 31, 10:51
By "the reverse isn't true", do you mean "in the eyes of the law" or "effectively"? -- nm - Roger More Oct 31, 10:47 1
- Both. -- nm - David Oct 31, 10:49
