Message: [QUOTE="LeanAndMean, post: 2343520, member: 25519"] [b]Was Ivey cheating?[/b] Just read the article at the top of the forum about Ivey being accused of cheating by Borgata because he was "edge sorting". This means he exploited flaws in the cards to read them. Because of tiny flaws in the edges, he could tell what the cards were. In fairness, Borgata is also suing the card manufacturer. In my opinion, if he used flaws to read cards, that is not cheating. If he had actually marked the cards, that would be another matter. But to use flaws already there? I am anxious to see the outcome of this case. There may be a grey area here, in that somehow he and a friend talked the dealer into dealing them a certain way. Hmmmm, shouldn't the casino have rules for the way the cards are dealt? So I am unsure of what that can mean. This was in mini-baccarat. Seems to me that if his eyes are good enough to see these flaws, he could make a lot more at black jack. [/QUOTE]
