It's incredible how ridiculous this statement is. I've seen a dealer cheating, at a large casino in the United States. I've seen lots of cheating in poker games. If I can see it, it's detectable. This stuff is common internationally, which is what we're discussing. That's not even controversial.


There have been criminal rings that were successfully prosecuted for cheating. This was a group of dozens of people going into casinos all over the country. And it included recruiting dealers who were in on the scams:

Nor is this isolated:

This is fairly common in the United States, and even more common internationally. You falsely imply that it's impossible because anyone who would try to cheat would use an extremely sophisticated method to do it. That's definitely not true. There are casinos that just don't care. And there are individual dealers who cheat because they're dumping money to someone else, and they don't want to get detected because their hold is off. These are the ones that are most likely to use less sophisticated methods to cheat.


Why does this bother me so much? Because you're telling APs not to bother learning how to protect themselves! Even if some of this stuff is difficult to detect, that doesn't mean it's impossible. And that doesn't mean you can't detect the less sophisticated stuff.


Stop posting dangerous misinformation.
