The casino doesn't cheat you lol, you know what the game is and you are a grown up person, you can freely decide not to participate in it. Of course Phil did nothing wrong either, but stop playing a victim when there is none.
If you walk into any casino and put your life savings, or any amount of money, down on the table, you are actively taking a chance that you may not walk out with that money. Don't blame the casino.
@@doritogoat The casinos and Ivey came to an agreement with the courts, that's why he was not criminally charged. If he had refused a payback agreement he would have been in serious trouble. Most likely assets seized at a minimum and a criminal record.
Total disgrace how Phil basically lost both these cases. Amazing that courts would uphold the whims of borderline criminal casinos while actively punishing an intelligent player who broke NO law.
He lied. He based his request on false 'superstitious' reasoning. Casinos are run by crooks, you shouldn't go, doesn't mean this guys isn't a narcissistic, lying, thief.
He ran a scam and the Casino called foul. If things like this were ruled for the player casinos would not offer these types of bets. Thats the reason its a good set of rulings.
I’m sorry but he’s foolish if he thought the American justice system wasn’t completely corrupted. You don’t think they can sway a federal judge who can’t be fired on issues that don’t really mean shit, like this one.
Casinos accusing anyone of cheating is hilarious and the height of hypocrisy. Card counting or edge sorting is NOT cheating at all in any way, shape, or form. Casinos steal BILLIONS from MILLIONS of people and cry when someone beats them. It's sick.
You bet there’s a minimum/maximum now when he enters at any casino.the word is out.if there’s casino who identifies him entering then lets him sets the rules out front then the casino has only themselves to blame because this guy already know the odds beforehand.
@@joeventre9357 jes the borgata couldn't get his money because he moved money offshore, but it's seizing all the money he wins In American tournaments.
The way the courts treated Ivey actually pisses me off to no end. Dude won fair and square. The casino agreed to everything he asked for. He simply played smart and won. The court system in both the UK and in America FUCKED HIM over big time.
@@brianmayabella5992 *Oh heck yeah! You bet they were. Probably 2 million buck each and the casino get their 20 million back so it was worth it to them.*
@@radicalrick9587 might have just paid them the full 20 million or more in bribes but no the precident is set and they can point at this case in the future if anyone tries this again. if they are losing 20 million anyways may as well literally change law for their benefit.
@@jorceshaman only works in blackjack. They use 4 decks but always play at full table. The rest is common sense to me. Im up a lot on the casino on blackjack.
They agreed to his request, and they knew what he was doing. They didn't think his 5-6% advantage was going to net him 20 million in winnings. They rolled the dice, just like he did. He's just a phenomenal player, and he outsmarted the casino's. Game over.
Yeah, the casinos just trying to freeroll Phil. If they win they say nothing, if phil win they sue so to get the money back lol. The casino could just decline phils request lol fking slimy
"It is an offence, under section 42 of the UK Gambling Act, to cheat at gambling or do anything for the purpose of enabling or assisting another person to cheat at gambling. A gambler can be considered to be committing an offence of cheating even if they do not win anything or improve their chances of winning anything by engaging in the activity."
@@alexojideagu completely different story if he would have just told them "I don't know what you're talking about." Him actually admitting it, is what made him lose the case. Stick to your guns and take their money. "Speculation" doesn't win them anything.
Photography memory? I can take pictures of the back of each card in the deck and I would still forget them hahaha phil ivey out played them and they're crying about their money. It's phil's money...haha
He probably didnt find it out himself. But he is famous enough that a casino would agree to all his requests that otherwise would make a casino suspicious if any other person would do these requests. So if there is 1 clever person anywhere on the world , he can get the information, "maybe" pay that person some nice money for the informations and just check on some casinos if they fall for the scam.
Indeed, the courts determined that such action as requesting a specific brand of playing cards amounts to cheating. Shame he lost on appeal in both cases.
@@ianbowline404 as much as I would have loved the casinos to lose the case, that in turn would mean casinos would be allowed to use edge sorting as well.
Remember the house can let you play or they can make you go. The house makes the rules of who they will do business with. They always have the ultimate hand it that regard.
There's nothing ironic about it. Casinos offer you very long odds to make money. You're free to stay home if you like, but if you hit upon a miracle they WILL pay you. Real casinos keep it as honest as humanly possible in order to let you feel "safe" betting your mortgage payment on a million to one chance. Perfectly honest, just a really, really terrible idea. There's no irony here.
So can I sue the casino for taking my money after I feel embarrassed? No, so the moral of the story is AS LONG AS THE CASINO BREAKING YOU ITS COMPLETELY FINE!!!!!!
There are no implied rules in gambling. It's the casino's responsibility to make sure the hardware is honest. If they use cards with flaws it's on them.
To anyone wondering - phil Ivey lost the case in both the US and the UK. He never got paid in the UK, and was asked to pay back the money to the borgata. However, the casino wired his $10mil he made to a Mexican account - so the money couldn’t be directly returned. The borgota would then go on to take future winnings of ivey’s - essentially meaning he would play poker without a prize. This got a lot of backlash from the gambling community. The borgota tried to seize ivey’s assets in Nevada as repayment, but that didn’t work out and Ivey ended up filing an appeal - which reached an unknown settlement. No one knows if he repaid his $10mil to the casino or not
Wow, thanks for the in depth explanation. I’m glad he’s still alive as I was going to search the obits. Scary stuff to be even accused of gambling theft.
@@jacksparrow8932 I agree, if the casino agreed to his demands - he shouldn't be considered cheating. His only problem was that he went up against an establishment with a lot of money and a lot of power - and unfortunately our court systems favor the rich
if this was cheating then being smart is cheating as well. Imagine the classroom of the future, teacher: "ok class, I give you three numbers, and you tell me what comes next, ready? let's go: 1, .. 4, .. 7, ... so what number comes after 7? little lisa screams: 8! little jimmy shoots out: 10!! - teacher: that's right jim--..and gets interrupted by lisa: cheater! Ivy just discovered a pattern, and made a profit of it. The tools to help him discover that pattern were even granted him by the casinos, such a clear case. Discovering patterns and making profits of them is one basic pillar of all our economies throughout history, makes us human, calling that cheating is ridiculous really want to know how the cases go for ivy
I agree that in MY book, ivey didn't cheat but played smart. But in CASINO rules, it's cheating. Before playing a casino, you indirectly agree that it's a gambling game and they have an edge on you. For example if you go to vegas, counting cards at blackjack is illegal and casinos can sue you and take you to jails for that. Even if you're smart, it's still cheating to THEM.
It's not illegal to count cards. It does give the player the advantage so when a casino sees it, they tell the player they won't take their bets any more. But the player can not be arrested for it and a casino can't sue a player for doing it. All they can do is refuse your business.
They can't arrest you because it isn't illegal. Just saying that your original comment was wrong in saying it's illegal and someone can be arrested for doing it. You just said they can't be arrested. Illegal means there's a crime commited, which counting cards is definitely not a crime.
@@KingofallHacks this is not true, although that's what the other poster was implying, what ivey did was have the dealer orientate cards so he could see them better
robin hoods are the shit. i watched a dude who robbed a bank earlier and him and his accomplices threw the money out his window while on pursuit 1-2 grand at a time til they had no money left and the pursuit ended. The neighborhood loved him. Straight up legend
Would be better to take personal responsibility for your actions so you don't repeat the same mistake. Don't blame the bottle for your drinking problem.
In my experience (which is small) dealers are cool people. So to be outside China and be able to speak your native tongue in a foreign country, that would definitely loosen the dealer up. Imagine what you could do if you could speak a secret language to the dealer...
He is correct. The game is very popular with Asian people and almost every time I have played I had a Asian dealer for that game. It’s a great game. I have won big bucks and lost big in a hurry. But it’s fun playing. It’s more fun to me then blackjack for sure. But you need to learn all the rules before you play for sure
His game starts as soon as he grabs the chair. “How many hands did I miss?” He doesn’t care how many hands he missed. He wants to know who’s paying that close of attention to the game, and encourage fan boys to start talking. Most people will play more aggressively towards him because they want to have that story of busting a pro.
@@APARAJITMUSIC he got his stake back but he did not get his winnings from the london casino, and bargata are in the process of taking his luxury items to pay for the 10mil they paid him
This is disgusting, Ivey outsmarted these guys and they went and cried to their mommies. Its their reputations which have been blackened. And, an 'implied' contract isnt worth the paper that it's not written on!
As high-limit gaming manager at The Venetian in Las Vegas for 11 years, I dealt with Phil Ivey many times. Very cool guy. He would lose $1mil in less than an hour on a crap table. As far as this case; the second I heard about it I said basically everything the game protection guy in this video said. These two casinos either got greedy or had very weak table games managers because they never should have agreed to Phil's requests. Since they did; the only thing they could do after that was label him an "Advantage Player" and not let him play again. Phil needs a lawyer and a judge who understands gaming because he should be able to keep his winnings.
Josh Carter they take your money but you can take theirs. If you walk in do 1 bet win and leave they can't do anything. They can only stay in business knowing they have a statistical advantage, when you take that away, you're going to go out of business.
Chase Merritt Well then they are fucked. How can you say if you are a better player than our dealers and know all the 'shortcuts' in the game then we won't pay you.
Then let them go out of business! That's how capitalism is supposed to work, I'm sick of all these safety nets for big corporations. If you fuck up, you exit the gene pool.
LordNasor I would let them go out of business if it were up to me. I don't gamble and damn sure wouldn't at a casino. I would play friends or at places where it's fair. Unfortunately millions of people every year spend their life savings in these casinos and keep them running. They won't ever go out of business.
Your premise is flawed. People go to casinos and play games built to give no expectation of winning over time. They do not take, that would be stealing and illegal.
“If I make a request and the house grants it, then how can that be cheating ?” Especially considering that the casinos were well aware of who Phil Ivey was.
@@sludge4125 All casinos were and are well aware of this ‘playing the turn’ technique and that many card decks are flawed because of a mistake during the cutting process at the manufacturing plant. They agreed to Phil Ivey’s demands in spite of that.
@@sludge4125 Is Phil Ivey under arrest for cheating? NO Is Phil Ivey even under threat of being arrested for cheating? NO If someone like me is well aware that not all backsides of playing cards are identical, is it safe to also assume that the casinos are aware of it? YES Did the casino agree to, and control the playing cards when Phil Ivey played? YES If a player is obliged to tell the dealer that there is a defect in the playing cards, let me go on record right now and tell ALL of the casinos in the world, that the backsides of many card decks are not identical because of a mistake during the cutting process at manufacturing plants.
I work as a pit boss, and Phil is absolutely right. He did nothing illegal. Those casinos were just outright irresponsible in agreeing to his requests.
Did he win those lawsuits? I remember reading about it. I didn't think he cheated...if the Casino is too stupid to do their home work...that's on them.
The only thing that sounds sketchy is the setup with the dealer. It sounded like he was doing some kind of colluding with the dealer. If he colluded with the dealer to get some kind of advantage, that's probably illegal. It really depends on why he wanted a dealer that was speaking mandarin and whatever was involved in the conversation. Was there some kind of bribe agreement here? If so, that'd definitely be a problem. Beyond that, the casino knows what it's doing when it lets him have a specific style of deck and shuffler. The casino agreed to the terms and they're stuck with the result.
That's so damn disgusting even if you take the money from casino, they are just to damn powerful for you to keep it... That's how the world works you can not take anything from the big guys, but if it other way around.....
@@Klaudaslt Yeah, I don't get it. He did NOT cheat. They agreed to everything. He only did "advantage play". That is NOT cheating. That is being a smart gambler. Just seems so odd he lost them. But, I am sure a nice dono was made to campaigns.
@@urmaker just another case of Sour Grapes!! As much money as those casinos bring in daily, paying their debts should be no problem! But the Greedy just want more and more!!
Yeah, Cuba Gooding Jr. would also be a great candidate but Denzel has that way of playing the edgy character that Phil portrays sometimes. The “my way or the highway” attitude. Gooding is a great actor as well.
For anyone wondering it looks like he lost both of those cases. He had to settle in court for 10million and lost the case in England. Glad to know the legal system just loves to protect the stupid and wrong corpos rather then the smart successful man.
Yeah it nearly destroyed him.. and it was 100% wrong. Just another proof that the system is rigged.. and I don't mean the casinos, everyone knows they're rigged.
He had a decent case, but his opponents were too big. I'd truly be surprised and interested to learn about people that took on a casino in court and still feel like they won today.
Literally genius. From the conditions, to the edge sorting, to the HAVING HIS PARTNER AND A DEALER THAT SPOKE MANDARIN SO THAT HE COULD GET CARDS TURNED SO THEY WOULD BE EASIER TO READ AFTER GOING THROUGH THE SHUFFLE MACHINE.... absolute legend. Sometimes I think I'm pretty intelligent, and then people like this come along and just blow my mind
@@dankelly5150 He didn't play the race card. He simply asked if race is an issue in that world. Ivy said no and the interviewer moved on. If he was interviewing a woman, he would have asked if gender was an issue in that world. It's a fair question to ask especially when someone is the minority in an industry. Bye.
JASON MORRIS exactly. Nothing but sour grapes. The casino knew who they were dealing with but they thought they could beat him and take his money. Don’t go crying now that you lost. Bitch asses
yea if u somehow manage to win u cheated haha, as ur not meant to win big as far as theyre concerned. i checked wiki and it seems both casinos won their lawsuits against him.
@@ninjanizzle Yea, as someone who doesn't gamble, it is kinda annoying. This guy outsmarted them both, and didn't technically cheat. They are only crying cause they lost. So I go in there and lose, can accuse them of of cheating me and sue and get my money back? Why the double standard?
Sorry, they agreed to ALL his requests. Therefore they gave him their money, thinking they could take his money. Fair game. And maybe the casinos should invest in better cut cards.
The casino's legal way of playing against them is to have zero advantage against them. Basically anyone who can beat them is cheating, they're not supposed to be beat.
How is card counting cheating? You don't use a device. You don't mark cards. You don't pay of the dealer. You just use your mind in your advantage. That's not cheating. That's being clever.
obviously it's not Phils fault. He beat the casino at their own game. They need to learn and deal with it. the casinos reaction makes players feel like not playing again.
+Bill Tsompanidis not playing again is what the casino wants, as a advantage player that is, on the contrary we need to become more advantageous players against the casino systems, that would really burn their bullshit and make them think deep into what they need to do to beat the players at their games...
+Jay Silva Why would any high stakes gamblers gamble at those casinos knowing they could be sued afterwards? By trying to label Phil a cheater they ruined their own reputation in the process.
+Jamie Simmons It's cheating if you secretly give yourself an advantage. It's not cheating if he tells the casino he would like to play with a certain shuffling machine, and they agreed. If you agree to rules without thinking them through (and I'm sure they are experts on cheating/preventing being cheated), then obviously they thought they could win and are likely angry that Phil still won.
It’s mind-blowing that casinos who make billions would impose rules that are designed to prevent a level playing field, ie, give the player as much an opportunity to win money as the casino has to take the money from the player. If edge sorting is a known problem, then have cards specifically manufactured to eliminate the edge sorting issue!! Jeez, it’s stupid. They act like he is drawing cards off the bottom of the deck!!
So let me get this right ... If Phil Ivey had lost all of his money the casino's would have given Phil all his money back cos he was'nt smart enough to beat them
There should be a risk of doubling the money if the casino starts suing the winner so they don't retardedly start wasting everyone's time after someone wins fair and square.
I totally agree , and the fact that the whole world now knows that they are looking for Phil to pay back money they lost to these " marked " cards ... will this casino also name the people that they owe to because of these damaged cards ??
These 2 casino's that are suing Phil are basically saying to Phil and more importantly to all the big gamblers that come their doors .... " You are NOT a cheat if you lose all your money here but you ARE a cheat if you win " . Be careful where you go with you money !!!!
Sad to say, checking up on this, the justice system fucked Phil in both cases, finding that he did cheat and awarding the wins to the casinos. Fucking disgusting.
The casino agreed to all of Phil's terms and conditions in order to give him what he believed to be an edge and again the casino agreed to it. Withholding of Phil's winnings is damaging enough to the casino's reputation because other casual gamblers may avoid them. My advice to the casino would be to get some Aspercream with Lidocaine, apply it to their anal area and get over the butt hurt! They surely brought this upon themselves. As an aside, before this video, I never even heard of a gambler named Phil Ivey!
I wouldn’t be able to sleep if I knew I had to beat the casino and the court to get my money especially as I put up a million in stake even before I walked into the casino. It should never have gone to court in the first place They should pay him and then bar him. But not to pay don’t look good for the casino. So if someone lost millions of pounds then won it all back then what would they get paid or not. Casinos only like losers not winners. Better not to gamble. Also how many lives have the casino ruined over the years. Millions I bet.
@Random Person it is you who can't read between the lines... read again what he said and read the ending twice... he put in a little joke too... made it sound like he was talking :) numnuts
Q: “Has race been a factor at all?” A: “No, not in poker. In poker, the only color they see is green.” This guy deserves everything he has, incredible personality and no excuses. Brilliant mind.
It just shows the casino to be the extortioners they are, they already have the advantage in cash, and dealers and card decks, but when you beat them at their game they cry and lie
@Will Rich I haven't had TV for a while and that is one of the shows I miss..I enjoyed watching him and I feel sorry for anybody that has to look in his eyes when he knows he's going to steamroll right over whatever hand they have sooner or later ... I would love to be sitting there in person watching him up close... I can only imagine what the vibe is that comes off at him when he knows he's going to beat you at your game... gives me chills haha but good chills like watching a spooky movie when you know what's going to happen next. I really wish they would put him in a movie where he's the bad guy cuz he could play that very easily
Fuck those casinos . They have all the odds in their favor & on the super rare occasion someone learns how to win after many years of practice they sue you or threaten you to give the money back
Casinos do this to ANY successful player. Also, what a horrible crappy job 60 minutes did...they did not even talk about how the casinos do this very often to successful players.
they have a black book of players that beat them card counting ,thats not cheating its using youre brain .and facial recognition software that they put on a database, no problem ruining people who arent succesful but thet defame anyone who wins to much . completely right you are
@saintquinn007 they never will because they don'thave to, they know you have an edge and they don't want anyone with even a 1% chance over the house to be on their property. Eventually you're stuck at private games or in his case putting light on casinos because they basically so they can't say no or lose "huuuge" lol business.
Welcome to impartiality. I think almost ANYONE will side with Ivey - but 60 Minutes leave it to the viewer to decide if they agree or not. This isn't a bug, it's THE feature of news.
I 100% agree with Phil Ivey. All the rules they decided prior to that were fully agreed on by both parties. If Phil Ivey is doing anything wrong here then all rigged gambling in favor of the casino is equally wrong.
@Charlie oh cmon, I won't get into an argument over words definition, that's just silly. We all know those machines pays in favor of the casino. Sure all the info is available to the player however all the efforts are put into games making you believe you could win big amount. It's not because the game follow GLI rules that it ain't wrong or rigged. I programmed slot machines for over 15 years and trust me the efforts to circumvent rules and regulations are insane.
@Charlie just look at class2 casino games...That's slot machine disguised into so called bingo game, although it is perfectly legal, this is deception at it's purest level just to circumvent the law. Wake up to the real world where it's not just rainbow and unicorn. Since casinos are allowed to do this to people, they deserve to get their own deceiving medicine...
All games in the casino are known to have a house advantage and people willingly agree, The casino didnt know that Ivey was using these cards for cheating and reading them otherwise they would have never agreed.
@Charlie It was a form of cheating, in my opinion. They didnt figure it out until he left, and of course they are going to settle it in court. If Phil was reading the back of card without having requested a certain type of cards then I would say its just an advantage if it was the casino's card and Phil hadnt asked for them knowing what he was going to do, but he intended obviously to get them to have certain type of cards so he could have a signifcant advantage without the casino's knowledge, to me thats cheating.
Well actually yea in the u.s.a you can claim your gambling loses as tax deduction. If you itemise the deduductions. Clear record wins / loses but Most problem gamblers dont know how handle their bank account let alone do their tax returns the only reason government authorises casinos to operate is because the gov can tax up to 50% of the casinos profits. When a player Spends all their income in a casino, they've basically given back their income as VAT to their government. That's why the economy encourages esp low income earners to spend more money (tax receipts)
@@Tootbook Virtually everyone is a loser in the long run. We all know it. Some find it to be the cost of having fun. But to blame the casino is lunacy. There is no unfairness. The odds are readily available. Wait, a great poker player can come out ahead, but he’s taking other people’s money, not the casino’s.
+Moez Hizi Right? Say Phil lost his millions and found out he was edge sorting. They wouldn't say it wasn't fair heres your money back no hard feelings. The casinos tried to take his money and failed and now they're complaining they lost..
he had to wire 3 mill to the casino up front that's why they granted his request! his conditions was to play for atleast 10 hours and he wasn't allowed to walk free with a win before then.
Did they take a gamble? Do you think casinos don't know about edge counting? Do you think, when the game was being played with his woman partner and she was not speaking English, ordering the dealer to turn cards a certain way...do you think they did not know what was going on? Of course they did. They knew before, during, and after what was going to happen, did happen, and happened. It's a WIN-WIN for the casinos. They get 1M up front or even more. Then, they allow Phil to play knowing exactly what he is up to. And the outcome is a win every time for the casinos. Either Phil loses it at the table, or Phil takes a receipt and never receives his earnings because the courts continue to side with the casinos because of their contracts with Phil. Phil tried to take the casinos but they actually took him because they are much smarter. He should stick to cash games in Macao.
Phil Ivey walked on to their car dealership and out negotiated them, paid his bill and drove off with his new car and now they want to whine that he cheated them and want their car back because he out negotiated them. Everyone knows that poor defenseless car salesman are nice trustworthy people that would never charge as much as they can get, so why is it fair when someone comes in and pays as little as they can?
As they shouldn't. I remember in college, my (mathematics) professor told me casinos have the odds so stacked up against the player that on average the player is made to lose negative something percent on each hand or something like that. These aren't honest people you're doing business with.
+Batman wtf r u talking about? of course every casino game is set up so the casino has the advantage its a fucking BUSINESS they are trying to make money they can afford to give out 10k on slit grandprizes or 1 million grandprizes because they make so much profit how else could they afford to GIVE money to people who win if they didnt make more money than they gave out? dumbass
He lost the court case. This ladies and gents is why you don't gamble. They cheat you and keep it all. You take a very small advantage and win, they still take it all.
The thing that got I've was the middle man being the Asians if it had just been Phil looking at the cards no harm no foul but when he requested an Asian dealer and had his Asian companion now u have an inside man and a sidekick communicating on your behalf too much evidence even if they did grant it to him he took the bait!!
@Dave Farley :Saying it over & over again might make you not feel inadequate, but sorry to bust your bubble it's not a BELIEF but a proven FACT & you can eat your heart out , IT'S A BLACK THING, hey & what have you been smoking? Even our women say so!! That alone disqualified your comment.
@Dave Farley quit living in denied dude that was the dumbest shit u could say we dominate the sports world and every white women breathing want sum BBC in there life every the racist ones get use to it🍆
They agreed to the requests and accepted the risk. They knew the risk and rolled the dice and lost. That’s life. Get over it. They’ve made $20m on plenty of other hard working people that are far less knowledgeable on gambling.
It’s just like a legally binding agreement. Even if someone doesn’t get there way they can go back to the contract in court and say right here you agreed to this.
He requested an "Asian" dealer because his wife was Chinese i.e. he wanted his wife and the dealer to speak in Mandarin which would be unintelligible to non-speakers.
I actually do think that all the advantages they gave him would be considered cheating in a sense. However they agreed to give him those advantages so they played themselves.
They agreed to permit him and his collusionist their request. They didn't agreed to allow him and her to win by cheating. They were not agreeing to cheating or card sorting.
@@Str8Faced But you do know don'y you that it was Mr. Ivey trying to sue (got mad) Crocfords Casino. So a flawed augment if you are trying to imply the Casino operators were the mal-contents. In fact Mr. Ivy lost his High Court Case as well so as the loser he had to pay plus he had to pay the court costs. So you can imagine how not mal-content they were to see him paying their costs as well. If you told me what your cards were then got mad at me for using that information to win. I may still think you are a mad poker player. But I likely would not tell you I thought you were mad. I likely wouldn't care if your brains were frying with red rage. If you were honest at the door then you are over eighteen and as an adult you would be entitled to be treated as an adult unless you prove you are not entitled. But you are not entitled to free mental health care or free psychological assistance or free education in the Casino from me unless you were going to do some-thing really stupid or dangerous such as fall out of the window or sit on the stove hot burner. If it was just you and I in the pot then you are allowed to tell me what you have. If I had pocket twos and the pot was getting bigger I may ask you to show me one card and if you do you would only have to pay 50% of the next bet to win the pot if your cards beat mine. But I would not tell you I had pocket twos. But house rules here are if there is a third party in the hand you may not then tell your hand unless you are prepared to forfeit your share of the pot. As acting out of turn or abusing by revealing results in the forfeiture penalty. You forfeiting your money does not make us mad. The more and bigger the merrier.
Str8Faced It’s not cheating at all in a sense. Imagine fighting me in a fighting game, and we agree to put a handicap. Then I cry about it, call you a cheat, and take you to court.
10111 01 No dont stop , who stops ? white folk? what? when? where? How much so? reminds me of this "I got it honest" casino peddling VICE. no dont ever stop!
If Phil can really read cards by the pattern on the back by edge sorting, it seems to me that the casino has a responsibility to it's owners/shareholders to make sure every card single that is dealt is exactly the same. Problem solved. Cards need to have identical backs. No request otherwise.
I mean... you would think that.. that would be the standard. " All backs of cards are identical.. why should that be a problem. The casinos dealt Ivy.. an imperfect deck of cards.. he used the imperfections to his advantage and took the casinos money.
I think Phil is 100% correct in that if the casino agreed to his terms but got butt hurt when he won the money they didn't want to pay out, how in the hell can that be thought of as cheating? Seems to me the casinos are the cheats here not want to pay out his rightful winnings!! 😡
UPDATE: Ivey lost the lawsuit in the UK. The judge said he "manipulated the casino into unknowingly giving him an advantage." But the casino sure doesn't complain when I play a game without knowing the rules, thereby, giving them an even greater advantage than the game should have. "I DIDN'T KNOW! GIVE OUR MONEY BACK!" smh
On the table yes, but when you get up its back to life and reality. Mess with the whitemans money and its lawsuit. He's lucky that the mob didnt put him to death!
I don't completely agree. Race plays no part in your ability to win or lose. I have always been one of the best if not the best at majority white casinos. I was loved by a few who judged me on the content of my character and hated by many others for I'll advised reasons. I do however have a clue why I am hated.
@@alyjulmiste1880 Not trying to take away anything from your point, but just the way you implied that anyone who sees you by your character loves you, already made me dislike you.
Update on this case: There were two lawsuits: 1) Crockfords Casino in London-In 2017, unsurprisingly lost this case. UK judge ordered that Crockfords didn't have to pay the £7.7 million ($12.1 million). 2) Borgata Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey-In 2016, lost this case. Judge ordered Ivey to pay $10 million/$10.1 million. In 2020 (last year) Both Ivey and Borgata settled out of court for an undisclosed sum. Don't gamble. Casinos use mathematical models and calculations to favor themselves at your wallet's expense. They have the resources and the rules (and laws) favor them. If you do go, intend to lose all of your money.

I guess it's ok when the casinos cheat you out of your life savings but when a man out smarts them it's cheating lol.
@Kc gunz actually kind child the casino odds are set against you from the beginning
yep
The casino doesn't cheat you lol, you know what the game is and you are a grown up person, you can freely decide not to participate in it. Of course Phil did nothing wrong either, but stop playing a victim when there is none.
Exactly
If you walk into any casino and put your life savings, or any amount of money, down on the table, you are actively taking a chance that you may not walk out with that money. Don't blame the casino.
He took advantage of 2 stupid casinos. They wanted him in there so bad they didn’t do their research on his requests. Their fault. His money.

@@johnbeezley9975 . Yep, it's sad because it is clear cut who is in the right. Now and days you have to maintain a low profile in casinos.

@@alexojideagu it's one thing to be illegal and another for him not to be criminally charged but told to give all his money back? House always wins
@@doritogoat The casinos and Ivey came to an agreement with the courts, that's why he was not criminally charged.
If he had refused a payback agreement he would have been in serious trouble. Most likely assets seized
at a minimum and a criminal record.
Total disgrace how Phil basically lost both these cases. Amazing that courts would uphold the whims of borderline criminal casinos while actively punishing an intelligent player who broke NO law.
Someone was on the take .. . Wouldnt be the judge would it?
He lied. He based his request on false 'superstitious' reasoning. Casinos are run by crooks, you shouldn't go, doesn't mean this guys isn't a narcissistic, lying, thief.
He ran a scam and the Casino called foul. If things like this were ruled for the player casinos would not offer these types of bets. Thats the reason its a good set of rulings.
Basically why I don’t gamble and RNI on 1 arm bandit is computer generated and bitch when massive win pops up
I’m sorry but he’s foolish if he thought the American justice system wasn’t completely corrupted. You don’t think they can sway a federal judge who can’t be fired on issues that don’t really mean shit, like this one.
Casinos accusing anyone of cheating is hilarious and the height of hypocrisy. Card counting or edge sorting is NOT cheating at all in any way, shape, or form. Casinos steal BILLIONS from MILLIONS of people and cry when someone beats them. It's sick.

Yeah, the casinos just trying to freeroll Phil. If they win they say nothing, if phil win they sue so to get the money back lol. The casino could just decline phils request lol fking slimy

Brilliant right on Phil just out smarted them period
"It is an offence, under section 42 of the UK Gambling Act, to cheat at gambling or do anything for the purpose of enabling or assisting another person to cheat at gambling. A gambler can be considered to be committing an offence of cheating even if they do not win anything or improve their chances of winning anything by engaging in the activity."
@@alexojideagu completely different story if he would have just told them "I don't know what you're talking about." Him actually admitting it, is what made him lose the case. Stick to your guns and take their money. "Speculation" doesn't win them anything.

Either way its a lose lose situation
No, if a player wins money _by edge sorting_ then the casinos claim he's a cheater.
Yeah, the casinos should pay him, also how the hell can you identify cards defects like that he must have eagle eyes and photography memory.
baller
Photography memory? I can take pictures of the back of each card in the deck and I would still forget them hahaha phil ivey out played them and they're crying about their money. It's phil's money...haha
you only need to identify 25 percent of the deck to easily control, even less if you make safe bets till you can make mega bets
How To Make Sushi Bro I see you everywhere lol. Gonna start leaving a comment every time I see one of yours.
He probably didnt find it out himself.
But he is famous enough that a casino would agree to all his requests that otherwise would make a casino suspicious if any other person would do these requests.
So if there is 1 clever person anywhere on the world , he can get the information, "maybe" pay that person some nice money for the informations and just check on some casinos if they fall for the scam.
110% agree w Phil Ivey. Casinos agreed to the terms, Ivey did too...its on them. Pay up, sore losers.
well, he lost his money in court because they said edge sorting is cheating as well.
Indeed, the courts determined that such action as requesting a specific brand of playing cards amounts to cheating. Shame he lost on appeal in both cases.
He should not have lost... that is amazing to me. These casinos agreed to the terms... Sounds like some judges got payed off.
@@ianbowline404 as much as I would have loved the casinos to lose the case, that in turn would mean casinos would be allowed to use edge sorting as well.
back in the day they would take a hammer to your hand and give you no money
Isn’t that ironic the casino calling him a cheat
Remember the house can let you play or they can make you go. The house makes the rules of who they will do business with. They always have the ultimate hand it that regard.
Moral of the story. Dont gamble
👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽😂😂😂 RIGHT ABOUT THAT
There's nothing ironic about it. Casinos offer you very long odds to make money. You're free to stay home if you like, but if you hit upon a miracle they WILL pay you. Real casinos keep it as honest as humanly possible in order to let you feel "safe" betting your mortgage payment on a million to one chance. Perfectly honest, just a really, really terrible idea. There's no irony here.
So can I sue the casino for taking my money after I feel embarrassed? No, so the moral of the story is AS LONG AS THE CASINO BREAKING YOU ITS COMPLETELY FINE!!!!!!
There are no implied rules in gambling. It's the casino's responsibility to make sure the hardware is honest. If they use cards with flaws it's on them.

You just got to love Phil Ivey for beating the casino's with pure intellect.
To anyone wondering - phil Ivey lost the case in both the US and the UK. He never got paid in the UK, and was asked to pay back the money to the borgata. However, the casino wired his $10mil he made to a Mexican account - so the money couldn’t be directly returned. The borgota would then go on to take future winnings of ivey’s - essentially meaning he would play poker without a prize.
This got a lot of backlash from the gambling community.
The borgota tried to seize ivey’s assets in Nevada as repayment, but that didn’t work out and Ivey ended up filing an appeal - which reached an unknown settlement. No one knows if he repaid his $10mil to the casino or not
Wow, thanks for the in depth explanation. I’m glad he’s still alive as I was going to search the obits. Scary stuff to be even accused of gambling theft.
All people in the know say he was completely innocent but both courts disagreed. Strange
@@jacksparrow8932 I agree, if the casino agreed to his demands - he shouldn't be considered cheating. His only problem was that he went up against an establishment with a lot of money and a lot of power - and unfortunately our court systems favor the rich

+naturecollision watch this: th-cam.com/video/tSYnvffAkr4/w-d-xo.html
I agree that in MY book, ivey didn't cheat but played smart. But in CASINO rules, it's cheating. Before playing a casino, you indirectly agree that it's a gambling game and they have an edge on you. For example if you go to vegas, counting cards at blackjack is illegal and casinos can sue you and take you to jails for that. Even if you're smart, it's still cheating to THEM.
It's not illegal to count cards. It does give the player the advantage so when a casino sees it, they tell the player they won't take their bets any more. But the player can not be arrested for it and a casino can't sue a player for doing it. All they can do is refuse your business.
SonTerrific Trust me it is illegal in most casinos, they won't arrest you because they can't but they'll kick you out and won't pay you.
They can't arrest you because it isn't illegal. Just saying that your original comment was wrong in saying it's illegal and someone can be arrested for doing it. You just said they can't be arrested. Illegal means there's a crime commited, which counting cards is definitely not a crime.

The only thing that sounds sketchy is the setup with the dealer. It sounded like he was doing some kind of colluding with the dealer. If he colluded with the dealer to get some kind of advantage, that's probably illegal. It really depends on why he wanted a dealer that was speaking mandarin and whatever was involved in the conversation. Was there some kind of bribe agreement here? If so, that'd definitely be a problem.
Beyond that, the casino knows what it's doing when it lets him have a specific style of deck and shuffler. The casino agreed to the terms and they're stuck with the result.

you cant just kick ppl out,, you need a good reason,,
How is card counting cheating? You don't use a device. You don't mark cards. You don't pay of the dealer. You just use your mind in your advantage. That's not cheating. That's being clever.

+Jamie Simmons It's cheating if you secretly give yourself an advantage. It's not cheating if he tells the casino he would like to play with a certain shuffling machine, and they agreed. If you agree to rules without thinking them through (and I'm sure they are experts on cheating/preventing being cheated), then obviously they thought they could win and are likely angry that Phil still won.
It’s mind-blowing that casinos who make billions would impose rules that are designed to prevent a level playing field, ie, give the player as much an opportunity to win money as the casino has to take the money from the player. If edge sorting is a known problem, then have cards specifically manufactured to eliminate the edge sorting issue!! Jeez, it’s stupid. They act like he is drawing cards off the bottom of the deck!!
So let me get this right ... If Phil Ivey had lost all of his money the casino's would have given Phil all his money back cos he was'nt smart enough to beat them
Hahaha no doubt!
The casinos gladly take your money
But when have to payout
They throw a big tantrum!
There should be a risk of doubling the money if the casino starts suing the winner so they don't retardedly start wasting everyone's time after someone wins fair and square.
I totally agree , and the fact that the whole world now knows that they are looking for Phil to pay back money they lost to these " marked " cards ... will this casino also name the people that they owe to because of these damaged cards ??
These 2 casino's that are suing Phil are basically saying to Phil and more importantly to all the big gamblers that come their doors .... " You are NOT a cheat if you lose all your money here but you ARE a cheat if you win " . Be careful where you go with you money !!!!
If the casinos were stupid enough to let him dictate the rules in which he was playing then how the hell can they sue him?
Sad to say, checking up on this, the justice system fucked Phil in both cases, finding that he did cheat and awarding the wins to the casinos. Fucking disgusting.
Give the guy the money. Swallow your pride and learn from it. Phil did what he does best. Good luck Phil.
Casinos are little mafia shits, if mafia loose money, they worry and hunt.
Sadly in las vegas corpses with this talent are buried every day.
Well said, Mr. Jefferson
The casino agreed to all of Phil's terms and conditions in order to give him what he believed to be an edge and again the casino agreed to it. Withholding of Phil's winnings is damaging enough to the casino's reputation because other casual gamblers may avoid them. My advice to the casino would be to get some Aspercream with Lidocaine, apply it to their anal area and get over the butt hurt! They surely brought this upon themselves. As an aside, before this video, I never even heard of a gambler named Phil Ivey!
Ivey lost both the court cases........
Raincentral003 Unless there's more to the story the courts made a mistake.
To coin a line, "He beat [them]. Straight up. Pay him. Pay that man his money."
What? You're not hungry?
one of my favorite movies. gonna watch it right now lol
......last card coming!

This guy looks like he never sleeps but at the same time he also looks like he doesn’t need sleep either
He looks focus as shit lmaooo
He don’t blink for shit.!
His real name is Phil "Cullen" Ivey.
He doesn't sleep....& He has that icy look in his eyes....
I wouldn’t be able to sleep if I knew I had to beat the casino and the court to get my money especially as I put up a million in stake even before I walked into the casino. It should never have gone to court in the first place They should pay him and then bar him. But not to pay don’t look good for the casino. So if someone lost millions of pounds then won it all back then what would they get paid or not. Casinos only like losers not winners. Better not to gamble. Also how many lives have the casino ruined over the years. Millions I bet.
He’s a master at his craft and still mastering the craft!
Soooooo They agreed to his terms, he wired them money...THEY LOST!! and Then sued him!??! How is that right?
Uhmm, explain to me if you will sherlock, how it is possible to shoot yourself twice in the head. It's people like you, who give...wait a sec...@
@Random Person it is you who can't read between the lines... read again what he said and read the ending twice... he put in a little joke too... made it sound like he was talking :) numnuts
shut yo ass up

That shit is proof how foul casinos are especially to their simple every other day gamblers.
Does this guy even blink? Lol! Legend
He always has his poker face..those talking to him are being read just in case they dare play him..
Lmao ! Classic response
He cracked twice and even laughed because he couldn't stop thinking about how the casinos fucked up.
He does seem kinda bug-eyed

Q: “Has race been a factor at all?”
A: “No, not in poker. In poker, the only color they see is green.”
This guy deserves everything he has, incredible personality and no excuses. Brilliant mind.
I heard being a girl helps in poker as guys play differently against girls
Ivey is such a boss. He doesn’t pull any punches, he just dominates.
Louis Franco wait, for real?!
Louis Franco That has nothing to do with it 🤦🏻♂️
@@LouisGFranco How does that make being black a factor?
It just shows the casino to be the extortioners they are, they already have the advantage in cash, and dealers and card decks, but when you beat them at their game they cry and lie
Phil Ivey = Tiger Woods of poker.
#Respect
I call him THE KILLA ... you ever see his eyes when he's playing ? He looks stone cold... like a murderer.. but I think he's the Best
Why? Because they both have brown skin?
Lol 🤣
@Will Rich I haven't had TV for a while and that is one of the shows I miss..I enjoyed watching him and I feel sorry for anybody that has to look in his eyes when he knows he's going to steamroll right over whatever hand they have sooner or later ... I would love to be sitting there in person watching him up close... I can only imagine what the vibe is that comes off at him when he knows he's going to beat you at your game... gives me chills haha but good chills like watching a spooky movie when you know what's going to happen next.
I really wish they would put him in a movie where he's the bad guy cuz he could play that very easily
How many women did Ivy have between hands?
...so they sued him because he outsmarted them?
basically
Yeah, that about sums it up!
Blackman Whitesuit exactly.
Fuck those casinos . They have all the odds in their favor & on the super rare occasion someone learns how to win after many years of practice they sue you or threaten you to give the money back
Nope, they sued him because he cheated.
"Scam" being a derogatory term coming from casinos is fucking rich.
When he brought up being black Phil had the absolute best answer. No bullshit no skirting the answer just said nope.
Jason Becker he said not in poker. That was his answer. In poker they only see green.
jetshockey5 Yeah what an idiot, you tell him
They have the right to refuse service, but they didn't. Gambling commission should reign down the casinos.
That's what the casino's get for fucking with a professional.......
Casinos do this to ANY successful player. Also, what a horrible crappy job 60 minutes did...they did not even talk about how the casinos do this very often to successful players.
they have a black book of players that beat them card counting ,thats not cheating its using youre brain .and facial recognition software that they put on a database, no problem ruining people who arent succesful but thet defame anyone who wins to much . completely right you are
@saintquinn007 they never will because they don'thave to, they know you have an edge and they don't want anyone with even a 1% chance over the house to be on their property.
Eventually you're stuck at private games or in his case putting light on casinos because they basically so they can't say no or lose "huuuge" lol business.
Welcome to impartiality. I think almost ANYONE will side with Ivey - but 60 Minutes leave it to the viewer to decide if they agree or not. This isn't a bug, it's THE feature of news.
Its called 60 minutes for a reason... this is only 15 minutes
Casinos allowed it, get fucked casinos.
Accept your losses, move on.
He might be cocky but he didn't fuckin cheat. He beat them at their own game...haha.
is it cheating when the casino takes all your money no I call bullshit
Erik Judd U lost bro? Vegas is over there -->
I 100% agree with Phil Ivey. All the rules they decided prior to that were fully agreed on by both parties. If Phil Ivey is doing anything wrong here then all rigged gambling in favor of the casino is equally wrong.
@Charlie oh cmon, I won't get into an argument over words definition, that's just silly. We all know those machines pays in favor of the casino. Sure all the info is available to the player however all the efforts are put into games making you believe you could win big amount. It's not because the game follow GLI rules that it ain't wrong or rigged. I programmed slot machines for over 15 years and trust me the efforts to circumvent rules and regulations are insane.
@Charlie just look at class2 casino games...That's slot machine disguised into so called bingo game, although it is perfectly legal, this is deception at it's purest level just to circumvent the law. Wake up to the real world where it's not just rainbow and unicorn. Since casinos are allowed to do this to people, they deserve to get their own deceiving medicine...
All games in the casino are known to have a house advantage and people willingly agree, The casino didnt know that Ivey was using these cards for cheating and reading them otherwise they would have never agreed.
@Charlie It was a form of cheating, in my opinion. They didnt figure it out until he left, and of course they are going to settle it in court. If Phil was reading the back of card without having requested a certain type of cards then I would say its just an advantage if it was the casino's card and Phil hadnt asked for them knowing what he was going to do, but he intended obviously to get them to have certain type of cards so he could have a signifcant advantage without the casino's knowledge, to me thats cheating.
@@Marcv1285 so the casino try and rig the slot machines, by the way, which slot machines are the best to play.
Does the casino also pay back the people who’s money they took on their “fair rules”
Phlegethon, can you give us a few examples?
@@sludge4125 I have no idea what you're getting at with that statement. Are you calling the guy who commented a loser or the casino a loser?
Well actually yea in the u.s.a you can claim your gambling loses as tax deduction. If you itemise the deduductions. Clear record wins / loses but Most problem gamblers dont know how handle their bank account let alone do their tax returns
the only reason government authorises casinos to operate is because the gov can tax up to 50% of the casinos profits. When a player Spends all their income in a casino, they've basically given back their income as VAT to their government. That's why the economy encourages esp low income earners to spend more money (tax receipts)
@@Tootbook Virtually everyone is a loser in the long run. We all know it. Some find it to be the cost of having fun.
But to blame the casino is lunacy.
There is no unfairness. The odds are readily available.
Wait, a great poker player can come out ahead, but he’s taking other people’s money, not the casino’s.
@@Tootbook Sludge is just that.... sludge. The guy's a bottom feeding troll, don't pay him any attention.

+Moez Hizi Right? Say Phil lost his millions and found out he was edge sorting. They wouldn't say it wasn't fair heres your money back no hard feelings. The casinos tried to take his money and failed and now they're complaining they lost..

he had to wire 3 mill to the casino up front that's why they granted his request! his conditions was to play for atleast 10 hours and he wasn't allowed to walk free with a win before then.
The Casinos hire cheaters to identify other cheaters. So who's the real scumbags?
Answer: The Casino
Casinos are the biggest crooks in the world. If you lose a million they’re all smiles. You win a million and they kick you out.
He cheated, but, they agreed to HIS conditions, a cheater outsmarted another cheater.

so can i sue a casino when i lose a lot of money?
Lol.,..I'd never be outta court! I win on the poker tables and just can't help avoid that roulette wheel on the way to the window!!! 🙄
You can but you'll lose even more money and most of your life.
You can sue anyone for anything
Yes you can, they use cards that let them win always.
He didn't lose any money. He won all that money and they didn't pay. Big difference.
so can we say.. the casinos took a gamble.. and lost? ha
LOL I like your post. They fulfilled his request......so I see nothing wrong.
Did they take a gamble? Do you think casinos don't know about edge counting? Do you think, when the game was being played with his woman partner and she was not speaking English, ordering the dealer to turn cards a certain way...do you think they did not know what was going on? Of course they did. They knew before, during, and after what was going to happen, did happen, and happened. It's a WIN-WIN for the casinos. They get 1M up front or even more. Then, they allow Phil to play knowing exactly what he is up to. And the outcome is a win every time for the casinos. Either Phil loses it at the table, or Phil takes a receipt and never receives his earnings because the courts continue to side with the casinos because of their contracts with Phil. Phil tried to take the casinos but they actually took him because they are much smarter. He should stick to cash games in Macao.
Phil Ivey walked on to their car dealership and out negotiated them, paid his bill and drove off with his new car and now they want to whine that he cheated them and want their car back because he out negotiated them. Everyone knows that poor defenseless car salesman are nice trustworthy people that would never charge as much as they can get, so why is it fair when someone comes in and pays as little as they can?
Nobody feels sorry for casinos.
As they shouldn't. I remember in college, my (mathematics) professor told me casinos have the odds so stacked up against the player that on average the player is made to lose negative something percent on each hand or something like that. These aren't honest people you're doing business with.
+Batman wtf r u talking about? of course every casino game is set up so the casino has the advantage
its a fucking BUSINESS they are trying to make money
they can afford to give out 10k on slit grandprizes or 1 million grandprizes because they make so much profit
how else could they afford to GIVE money to people who win if they didnt make more money than they gave out? dumbass
why? the dude earned the money by playing hundreds of thousands of hours of these games to become very skilled and get an edge against them

He lost the court case. This ladies and gents is why you don't gamble. They cheat you and keep it all. You take a very small advantage and win, they still take it all.
The thing that got I've was the middle man being the Asians if it had just been Phil looking at the cards no harm no foul but when he requested an Asian dealer and had his Asian companion now u have an inside man and a sidekick communicating on your behalf too much evidence even if they did grant it to him he took the bait!!
Reference please..

They agreed to the requests and accepted the risk. They knew the risk and rolled the dice and lost. That’s life. Get over it. They’ve made $20m on plenty of other hard working people that are far less knowledgeable on gambling.
Daily.
Both the casino and the player agreed to the terms of play........ not cheating.
exactly, regardless of the reasons for agreeing to the terms, the terms were agreed upon. obviously fair
They are
It’s just like a legally binding agreement. Even if someone doesn’t get there way they can go back to the contract in court and say right here you agreed to this.
Take the casinos money, I don't care if he actually cheated.
They wouldn't cash him out, thats why casinos give chips instead of cash
Casino’s need to stop crying about Phil. They take millions from people every day.
This is such BS!!! Casinos crying because they lost.
If the casino thought he was asking for those specific cards out of superstition then they deserve to lose their money.
they just agreed knowing they can sue if they happen to lose
@@mrcool76789 no, they agreed because they knew Phil would have to sue, in order to get was rightfully his, AND they had the courts bribed

@@ShawnLe123 Agreed.
@@ShawnLe123 If you watch his recent interviews he reveals it’s all an act he’s actually pretty cool
He requested an "Asian" dealer because his wife was Chinese i.e. he wanted his wife and the dealer to speak in Mandarin which would be unintelligible to non-speakers.
I actually do think that all the advantages they gave him would be considered cheating in a sense. However they agreed to give him those advantages so they played themselves.
They agreed to permit him and his collusionist their request. They didn't agreed to allow him and her to win by cheating. They were not agreeing to cheating or card sorting.
It would be like if we were playing a hand and I told you what my cards were then got mad at you for using that information to win
@@Str8Faced
But you do know don'y you that it was Mr. Ivey trying to sue (got mad) Crocfords Casino. So a flawed augment if you are trying to imply the Casino operators were the mal-contents. In fact Mr. Ivy lost his High Court Case as well so as the loser he had to pay plus he had to pay the court costs. So you can imagine how not mal-content they were to see him paying their costs as well.
If you told me what your cards were then got mad at me for using that information to win. I may still think you are a mad poker player. But I likely would not tell you I thought you were mad. I likely wouldn't care if your brains were frying with red rage. If you were honest at the door then you are over eighteen and as an adult you would be entitled to be treated as an adult unless you prove you are not entitled. But you are not entitled to free mental health care or free psychological assistance or free education in the Casino from me unless you were going to do some-thing really stupid or dangerous such as fall out of the window or sit on the stove hot burner.
If it was just you and I in the pot then you are allowed to tell me what you have. If I had pocket twos and the pot was getting bigger I may ask you to show me one card and if you do you would only have to pay 50% of the next bet to win the pot if your cards beat mine. But I would not tell you I had pocket twos. But house rules here are if there is a third party in the hand you may not then tell your hand unless you are prepared to forfeit your share of the pot. As acting out of turn or abusing by revealing results in the forfeiture penalty. You forfeiting your money does not make us mad. The more and bigger the merrier.
Str8Faced It’s not cheating at all in a sense.
Imagine fighting me in a fighting game, and we agree to put a handicap.
Then I cry about it, call you a cheat, and take you to court.

What’s more shocking is how his eyeballs didn’t fall out
Ivey never blinks lol
Cocaine is a hell of a drug
If Phil can really read cards by the pattern on the back by edge sorting, it seems to me that the casino has a responsibility to it's owners/shareholders to make sure every card single that is dealt is exactly the same. Problem solved. Cards need to have identical backs. No request otherwise.
I mean... you would think that.. that would be the standard. " All backs of cards are identical.. why should that be a problem. The casinos dealt Ivy.. an imperfect deck of cards.. he used the imperfections to his advantage and took the casinos money.
Ivey's partner “Queen of Sorts” Kelly Sun is the one that could read the tiniest card flaws.
I think Phil is 100% correct in that if the casino agreed to his terms but got butt hurt when he won the money they didn't want to pay out, how in the hell can that be thought of as cheating? Seems to me the casinos are the cheats here not want to pay out his rightful winnings!! 😡
Normally they are, but Ivey made them use the asymmetric cards
This guy has such a poker face, he must stare at his electric bill and win.
UPDATE: Ivey lost the lawsuit in the UK. The judge said he "manipulated the casino into unknowingly giving him an advantage." But the casino sure doesn't complain when I play a game without knowing the rules, thereby, giving them an even greater advantage than the game should have. "I DIDN'T KNOW! GIVE OUR MONEY BACK!" smh
firebirdude2 That's bullshit!!!
The facts I posted? Or the ruling? Google it for yourself.
He lost his UK lawsuit because he is an American suing a british business. They want those millions to stay in their country and be taxed.
shiddy..he should have never taken that money out of the country
spot on

I don't completely agree. Race plays no part in your ability to win or lose. I have always been one of the best if not the best at majority white casinos. I was loved by a few who judged me on the content of my character and hated by many others for I'll advised reasons. I do however have a clue why I am hated.
@@alyjulmiste1880 Not trying to take away anything from your point, but just the way you implied that anyone who sees you by your character loves you, already made me dislike you.
The fact that Phil Ivey not only lost this case but also is forced to pay the Borgata $10.1M is absurd!
Ridiculous
Update on this case:
There were two lawsuits:
1) Crockfords Casino in London-In 2017, unsurprisingly lost this case. UK judge ordered that Crockfords didn't have to pay the £7.7 million ($12.1 million).
2) Borgata Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey-In 2016, lost this case. Judge ordered Ivey to pay $10 million/$10.1 million. In 2020 (last year) Both Ivey and Borgata settled out of court for an undisclosed sum.
Don't gamble. Casinos use mathematical models and calculations to favor themselves at your wallet's expense. They have the resources and the rules (and laws) favor them. If you do go, intend to lose all of your money.
So he lost both lawsuits? Wow that is terrible. The player protection these days is to not be a player at all, I guess.
@@zMilite 100%. And these casinos use these player's likeness to promote their venues and tables and get others to play and spend money.
