I would wager Tikay has more money than we think

Does that we include you?

When does the "we" not include the "me"?

When you don't agree with what the 'we' think?

If any reg or known poster thinks Ivey is favourite and would like an even bet PM me.

What counts as an Ivey win Joe? Does he have to get all the money or does a settlement count?

If the result is not either:

A) he gets all his winnings
or
B) he gets none of his winnings

then all bets are void.

If anyone wants action then I need a PM with real name, email address, phone number and amount bet. Must be a reg or known player.

As it will probably happen - what about an appeal, Joe?

Result of this case.

Happy to bet on appeal too later, not sure it will happen though, certainly not a a guarantee here.

Unless there's a very good reason, there won't be an appeal, IMO.

Ivey will do a "Winslow Boy" IMO

Yes, but you have to be able to gain permission to appeal. You can't just go to the Court of Appeal because you disagree. It's also very expensive.

Would expect the parties would agree to be bound by the ruling, unless there were something particularly odd.

Are people cheering on Ivey here?

On a forum full of poker players/ gamblers is there anyone not cheering on Ivey?

[RED-DOG]

Are people cheering on Ivey here?

Personally, yes.

If he can pull off a coup of such magnitude, and do it in such a way that he is actually aided and abbeted by the very same people who now claim to have been robbed, then good luck to him.

You make a good point, and I'm inclined to agree. I'm certainly not cheering against him.

But I'm not a fan of cheating, and don't think the villain should make a huge difference really. Were we all cheering him on when he found an edge against Ram and Marc?

Plus an Ivey win makes me a bit uncomfortable as a punter. If we accept it's OK tp push the limits of what constitutes cheating against the casino we're sort of accepting it's OK for them to push the limits of what's acceptable back. You may, of course, feel they do so already.
