Phil Ivey Says He Broke No Laws

Phil Ivey has told a GB casino he believes his edge sorting technique was legal. 

Let’s be honest about what a casino is and what advantage play is:

Casinos are essentially giant, sessile living things that filter feed like whales or coral. As you pass through them, they filter your money out, using various market ploys and chemical agents to make the process as fast as possible.

Advantage players are people who notice something about the game and then use it to their advantage.

They don’t manipulate the gaming hardware

They don’t break the written rules of the game

They just don’t obey “unwritten” rules that say you should play blackjack or baccarat or whatever worse than you could.

If you don’t want advantage play, don’t spread workable games, period.
