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.

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.

Who else got this in their recommended 5 years later? 👀

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.

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.

Illegal or not doesn’t matter. The casinos agreed to his requests. They made their own beds.

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.

Let just say: if a player wins money your a cheater, but if a player loses he’s a gambler

He asked for a specific deck and the same one used all the time, and they didnt get it? The greedy mutts deserved to get taken. GO Phil!

Casinos offer free alcohol so you can make bad decisions. Isn't that cheating?

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

Everyone who has felt violated leaving a casino with empty pockets is rooting Ivey on!!. A Robin Hood of sorts!!

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.

110% agree w Phil Ivey. Casinos agreed to the terms, Ivey did too...its on them. Pay up, sore losers.

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.

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.

He became known as “the black kid who plays poker all day long”. Catchy.

Casinos are fucked up. They take everyone's money but have the right to withhold your money if you win a lot and/or sue you. wtf

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

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.

How do you "cheat" casinos ? -You can come into our establishment, but you can't use your brain...it's against the rules!

You just got to love Phil Ivey for beating the casino's with pure intellect.

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!!

Really epic journalism. They went deep and told all sides to this story. Epic!

Isn’t that ironic the casino calling him a cheat

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.

He’s a master at his craft and still mastering the craft!

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.

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.

“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.

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.

*_They will shut down your table even for a small amount of money! I was playing Black Jack in Vegas, starting with $20, and then a few hours I'm up $1,400, and that when a casino worker came to the table and shut it down? It was a full table! But I knew they were watching on the cameras._* *It pissed them off when you're making all the right calls all the time. Stop, HIt Me, Double Up, etc... and just keep winning and winning.* _In other games the house can barely beat me if I play long enough but in Black Jack, I can take the house for everything they have if I wanted to. I don't understand why more people don't understand how easy it is to beat the Black Jack Table._

This smart man outsmarted the casinos....pay the man.....

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.

Give this man his money!! Those casinos agreed to all his requests beforehand, he told them what he was going to basically and they said “okay” and then they got mad after he did it.

I love how brutally honest this guy is.

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

Legend has it, Phil still hasn't blinked

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.

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?

Casinos are the cheaters They don’t like being outsmarted, so this guy cheated He’s a master of his craft Pay him and move on

...so they sued him because he outsmarted them?

I remember when Phil came into the scene and man has he always impressed

They have the right to refuse service, but they didn't. Gambling commission should reign down the casinos.

respect to Ivey

Dude has a poker face even when he’s not gambling 👏🏻👏🏻

If he did anything illegal he'd be in criminal court, the very fact that this is not in Criminal Court already tells the tale

This is such BS!!! Casinos crying because they lost.

If he won by memorizing little tiny dots on the edges of cards they should pay double lol..thats impressive shit man

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

10:50 😂 that face he makes after that awkwardness starts creeping in as he starts talkin bout requesting an Asian dealer lol

*_The Casino wanted Ivey money but they didn't want him to take their money. So when he took their money, like a two years old kid throwing a tantrum they started crying foul!_*

The man dan bilzerian wishes he could be

10:38 - "I requested an Asian dealer" - this guy plays baccarat in 5 dimensions

This guy has such a poker face, he must stare at his electric bill and win.

Even the court part is a gamble...well played Mr.Ivey....well played.

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!

Do u think if he lost the $3 mill they would have a problem with him? GTFOH

15:20 This reporter talks like perd hapley from parks and rec. I love it

Very surprised he lost the lawsuit for cheating. In my eyes he did nothing against the rules

He walked in that casino like he about to drop 50 points in the nba

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?

He ended up losing the case in the UK, FYI.

"i don't consider the word 'scam' bad" - spoken like a true casino man hahahaha

"does race matter in poker?" "No the only color I see in poker is green" Hahaha whatta legend

Give the guy the money. Swallow your pride and learn from it. Phil did what he does best. Good luck Phil.

Wow, I dug into this a little more and the Borgata got ten million back from Ivey saying he owed them even more money, becuase the money he wired over they would have believed him to have loss in the even he was playing fairly. That's BS in my eyes.

"You Know him to believe?" 😆

When casinos win, they win, when they lose, they win

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.

a magnificent tale of a genius david beating goliath. great television.

It's peculiar that the courts ruled in favor of the casinos, essentially saying Ivy broke the law, even though he literally did not break a single law.

This will make a great movie. I vote Denzel plays Phil.

Soooooo They agreed to his terms, he wired them money...THEY LOST!! and Then sued him!??! How is that right?

He outsmarted them and they didn’t protect themselves. Good on him

Good for him. Vegas isn’t Vegas because casinos lose. Along with other casinos. They HATE to lose money.

When he brought up being black Phil had the absolute best answer. No bullshit no skirting the answer just said nope.

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.

Update: Both casinos won their lawsuits against Ivy. Both clammed Phil was being dishonest.

Good on you Phil! BTW, so they can say "shit" on 60 Minutes now? And I thought we couldn't fall any further

"the black kid who played poker all day long" what a nickname...

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.

That is like playing a game and after winning it, the other sides tries to change the rules both agreed on after the game.

It's crazy how this guy Ivey doesn't blink his eyes really 😂😂😂😂

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.

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.

I like this guy. So collected and matter of fact.

There's a fine line between cheating and not cheating when you develop skills and techniques and call on special privileges that others cant

To coin a line, "He beat [them]. Straight up. Pay him. Pay that man his money."

"Scam" being a derogatory term coming from casinos is fucking rich.

Damn, he lost both of the lawsuits. Well, he settled with Borgata.

Bruh, what a great description.

Nobody feels sorry for casinos.

Phil Ivey = Tiger Woods of poker. #Respect

He’s a legend nothing else

Good for him! Love it!!!

The fact that Phil Ivey not only lost this case but also is forced to pay the Borgata $10.1M is absurd!

WHAT kind of casino owner is going to AGREE to terms that ALLOW someone to edge-sword so easily.... This whole thing makes zero since..

I love how when a player has the advantage it’s considered cheating , but when the Casino has the advantage it’s fine
