The problem is not in edge sorting or taking advantage of it..its the accusation that Ivey conspired with a dealer to get signaled of specific cards during the deal.
That very much is somewhat Illegal whether the claim of Ivey's that he requested automatic shuffling cards is correct or not...at least in the USA..probably UK as well.
- gojomo 13y agoThe word 'conspired' makes it sound like a secret arrangement. If I understand the reports accurately, his requests were made openly to casino personnel, with no consideration offered to the individual employees. He was tempting the casino bank itself with, "I'll be a happy high-roller who keeps playing if you indulge me". So it starts to look like: the casino, experts in the game with a large staff that had both the duty and capability to monitor the situation, chose to offer a game with a positive expectation for Ivey.
