The cheaters who I think casino are more afraid of are outsiders who haven't had a chance to get addicted to gambling. Maybe Ivey or Archie or whoever can do as much damage in a night as ten thousand card counting software engineers from Iowa could back in the day, but those guys took their money home to buy collectible Dilbert figurines or whatever, whereas the real ballers are sick, sick people.

12. When menstruating, use a product that right for your menstrual flow. A tampon too big can irritate and develop fungus. A product left in too long can cause bacteria or fungus build up. Products can be changed at least every 4 hours. Except when sleeping, they can be left in for the night

I got heaved for counting on a low limit BJ table just for running progressive bets. (And counting.,, with a bored prostitite... and heroin,,.)
I can't imagine Ivey playing at those levels isn't being watched closer than a junior high boys swim team at the NAMBLA pool.

Okay, I'm certainly no expert in high stakes gambling. (BTW.. the Borgata is in Jersey, where Ivey cut his teeth, not Vegas.)
But I will give credence to the theory that the casino will angle-shoot as well with refusal to pay or litigation.
Just another reason why I don't play poker or gamble for a living.

Absolutely agree. The argument can be made that perhaps in a moral sense what Ivey did was wrong, but how can it be illegal? If he played no part in the cards being flawed, it is on the casino 100% imo. The dealers are supposed to check the cards when they're brought into the game. Plus, at a game of those stakes, the pit boss should also be looking over the dealer's shoulder and security should be monitoring it all.
I will go a step further and say that any casino that was using that series of cards after Phil's run in with the London casino is run by idiots. I guarantee that if Ivey had lost $10,000,000 the Borgata would not be offering him a refund. I know it's a hard loss to stomach, but they should eat it and go after Gemaco to recoup the money.

I'm going to stake a stab and guess that the casinos have a significant lobbying presence in NJ.
Ivey is a hustler, the casinos are hustlers, it's all in the game.

Did they let you keep the winnings? As I understood it casinos let you keep your winnings even if you're accused of card counting at BJ, since it can't be proven and it's not really cheating unless you are also colluding with other players at the table. They can of course kick you out and say you're never welcome back, but I didn't think they could keep your winnings unless they can prove something more than just having a brilliant memory. But maybe I'm wrong.

Yes.
The boss came over with what I'm guessing was 8-10 security guards and told me to pack my shit. I asked why, he said my betting patterns indicated 'illegal counting behaviors', that they were not permabanning me but asking me to leave now and suggesting I not play blackjack anymore. Escorted me to cash out, then escorted me to the door, then 4 guards waited with me at the entrance while the valet got my car.

Don't trust him Suited. He probably just forged Twitter. Or hacked someone's screen name and then changed the profile pic.
Or maybe he found someone obscure Ivey was already following and then made his FCP account with the same gay Korean avatar and name.
You just can't trust the internet anymore. It's not like the good old days.
