""As a professional gambler, my job is to lawfully reverse or reduce the perceived house edge. I consider all the strategies I use to be lawful and I would never cheat in a casino. It is not in my nature to cheat and nor would I risk my reputation by acting unlawfully in any manner."

"My integrity is infinitely more important to me than a big win, which is why I have brought these proceedings to demonstrate that I have been unjustly treated.""

tilting for Ivey to be going on TV to explain his "edge sorting" technique

I guess he'd have preferred that no-one knew he was doing it lol

anyone like to price up the outcome of the case? I don't want to bet it i am just interested in people's views.  Does anyone make Ivey a fav?  I think Genting have to be a big fav to win the case.

Corporates are always going to be a favourite in these cases because they (probably unfairly) tend to get the benefit of the doubt as upstanding corporate citizens especially against a "professional gambler".  Like it or not there is just a reputational advantage for Genting.   I do think Ivey probably has a case though or he wouldnt pursue it.  Maybe 4/9 Genting?

The guys who filmed the roulette wheel got away with it, so I don't think there is an assumption in the Casino's favour.  It just comes down to whether the law thinks that Ivey made passive use of the agreed game conditions or actively interfered by choice of cards and getting the dealer to rotate them.

Careful everyone, chris is a legal expert in this area and is definitely in possession of all the facts, and he's capable of making logical decisions with that information.

Literally none of the above is true.

O I'm sorry, that actually does make you an expert. Also, you're not a total dick.

Also, neither of the above are true.

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