I'm sure the other High Stakes Casino's in London want this sorting asap.

I don't think the worlds biggest gamblers would want to punt if there is drama after a big win.

Just had a call from the Daily Mail while I was having a pub lunch to get the obligatory 'expert' (lol) quote on whether Ivey cheated or not. I pretty much said the standard stuff - Ivey is considered the best poker player in the world, poker is a game of skilll and chance, house games are just a game of chance, extreme winning and losing streaks happen all the time in gambling, Ivey is rich.

Now comes the fun sweat - how misquoted will I get?

Oh well, the books going to get a plug either way.

Has anyone been to Crockfords? What's it like? I quite fancy it, but there a few million reasons why I probably can't.

No such thing as bad publicity?

Most of the bets placed so far seem more like hopeful punts rather than value spots

You should have said "please don't talk to me, I'm concentrating on my pub lunch."

Winning a lot of money gambling then not being able to get your hands on it?

I wonder how that feels for Phil 'Full Tilt' Ivey.

Literally this.

Alot of casino management dont understand (as someone said). A pitboss on a cruise ship once used to believe that if a dice table was losing, changing the dice and putting the ones that had been taken off in the freezer would help. That came from the term "the dice are hot".

Staff also get told off when a table is losing. Even though they obviously have no influence.

Just ridic really
