Am I the only one...

tripping on the cheating technology in the illegal card games? Where did they get this? Are you telling me Vegas doesn't use this, or invent this, technology? Are they alleging Chauncey was aware of this scheme and agreed to it willingly? And why do the feds focus on the participation of Chauncey and not the entire illegal game itself? It's like busting up an illegal cock fight and focusing on the guy that made the razor blades on the roosters' claws? So many questions. Rozier doesn't bother me, this does.

Alleged Cheating Technologies Used
• X-ray poker tables: These allowed accomplices to see through cards and gain an unfair advantage.
• Hidden cameras: Discreetly placed to monitor hands and relay information to co-conspirators.
• Pre-marked cards: Subtly altered to be readable by those in on the scheme.
• Card-reading contact lenses: Worn by players to identify marked cards.
• Hacked shuffling machines: Manipulated to predict or control card distribution.
• Wireless communication devices: Used to transmit real-time data between players and dealers.

I saw a Chinese video of a guy wearing contacts that read the card supposedly and was getting his ass beat

Bunch of criminals. They deserve to do hard time. 

James Bond uses X-Rays at the poker tables all the time. 

It’s been around for yonks.

Invisible ink and contacts, but the one that’s less known is an RFID or RDFI scanner, that’s built into the table.

Sydney Australia had pretty much a pandemic of fixed games this whole decade behind curtains.

in regards to the casino, I’m sure they’ve rigged their fair share but the games are mathematically fixed anyway, so they wouldn’t have to.

They arrested 30 people. What do you mean only Billups?! 

The manipulated shuffle machines really caught my attention. It has seemed the table games at casino’s have gotten harder and harder to win against the house.  I know even in a fair game you are going to lose the majority of the time… but geez the last 10 times or so I got destroyed.   Could not even win a hand and I play mini bacarrat which is pretty much a 50/50 game.  Can’t prove casino’s manipulate the shuffles .. but also can’t really say it’s not a possibility.  Have since quit playing card  and mostly just sportsbet.  Now the integrity of that is somewhat in question now also.  Can’t win I guess.  lol 

@NONEED4LUCK

what I mean is shouldn't everyone that attended/gambled/participated in these illegal card games be also jailed/indicted? they paint the gamblers who lost money as victims...in my mind if you are in a drug house whether dealing/buying/hanging out when they bust the door down everyone gets swept up so it seems to me hundreds of folks would be arrested 

the NBA League lawyers and marketing team are about to make their money as the spin is on

Great time for the lawyers representing these thieves! I hope they make Huge $$ off them & then they still get found Guilty & pay Big Fines!  

You don't say...very interesting SW!

@StraightWagers

 Do you suspect that fat governor from Illinois cheated when he boasted that he won over a million bucks playing blackjack a while back in Vegas?

@StraightWagers

 Matt berkey talked about 3 years ago about this game that was constructed all around chauncey billups... its his game... pros noticed the game was sketchy.

Also the game itself is not ilegal if its not collecting rake (unsure if this game had rake or not) but just playing is fine. 

@StraightWagers

 I know a guy who ran poker games. He got caught by the FBI. He paid a million dollar fine and that was that. No cheating but there was human trafficking involved. Anytime you bring a hooker from across a state line it’s trafficking. They just want money and to distract from the Epstien files. You mean they can cheat this brazenly but can’t drum up the list? lol 

@SirJohnDrake

 I didn’t realize that fat fuck was heir to the Hyatt Hotel empire. 

I suspect that the electronic craps machines at the casinos have magnets to control the dice outcome.  What I saw was the dice sliding without rolling for a long distance, impossible to happen without strong magnets. In my next visit, the casino had changed the dice in the machine to a smaller size, so now about 6 x 6 inches. The machines are a lot of fun but I wouldn't trust them for any large size bet. Wish someone would dissect one of those machines.
