Yeah I was going to make a thread about this.

BS ruling but courts are never going to side against casinos that generate so much tax revenue.

Hypothetical question here. If he were to lose 9.6 million and try to get it back could he?

I used to play top chess players and they were super brilliant but therr was no money in chess.

At least in poker you can get rewarded for your mind. And poker you play against other people and not the casino. Thats the reason everyone migrated there after black jack flaws were figured out.
I'm a fan of poker. More intelligent blacks should learn it as s way to make a living


I played online a bit a few years ago but there's not casinos near me. I started playing $1/2 NLHE at random casinos though. When I saw my friend in Miami I played a bit and when I went to Baltimore I did. I still need to adjust my game and get over that initial nervousness when playing.

I do love the game and there are certainly parallels to chess in the game. I love the psychological aspect of it.

Ivey didn't do shyt wrong. He also wires MILLIONS at a time to these casinos to play.

Anyone whose making any real money playing DFS is using a system, algorithm, formula whatever you want to call it, to spit out 1000's of different line ups for different contest, based on the highest expected value of those line ups decided by probably hundreds of different variables weighted accordingly.

I don't have the slightest clue how this is a legit ruling.

In any other business, if you find inherent flaws in your competition, you take advantage. Phil Ivey is a private individual and he didn't do anything illegal. This isn't like a professional league that agrees to abide by a code, it's an interaction between a corporation and a private individual. How the hell can they take back money he won?

The ruling was Breach of Contract, no? It's not really to do with any laws set in place other than contractual agreements.
