Professional poker player Phil Ivey won $9.6 million at the Borgata. The casino paid him, then sued to get it back. At London’s Crockfords, he won another £7.7 million. They refused to pay. In the video below, Ivey says his job is to play the game, find a weakness in the casino and use it to win. He calls the casino his opponent and points out that it spends millions of dollars protecting its games. He wanted a specific brand of cards, a Cantonese-speaking dealer and the same decks reused. The casinos agreed. His playing partner, Cheung Yin Sun, asked the dealer to rotate certain cards, presenting it as a matter of luck. The cards had tiny differences along their backs. Once high-value cards faced one way and the others faced the opposite way, those differences helped identify what was coming next. Ivey never marked the cards. The dealer handled them. But the casino didn’t understand what those requests were doing to the odds. He called it an advantage. The casinos called it cheating. In 2017, the UK Supreme Court ruled against him: persuading the dealer to arrange the cards crossed the line. The casino had approved his requests while expecting to win. Ivey knew something about its own cards that it didn’t. Was he cheating, or should a casino know its own game before accepting someone’s money?

I am sorry I have to make such a sad appeal to you all. Please, if you enjoy the work, repost it. Each year it’s a mystery whether the COTW continues. Only through page views does it avoid the axe. Thank you.

On paper, I’m in my 50’s & it’s really confusing… In my head, I’m 35. At a concert, I’m 25 After 10pm, I’m 72. Getting up off the floor, I’m 93. When someone makes me mad, I’m 2 BUT- When an 80’s song comes on, I’m 17, drunk in a field, & my mom thinks I’m at a sleepover 🤪

Young people see this scene and think “That would never happen.” Look, I was there. This is every other Little League coach in America in 1976.

This is what Joining the European Union as an Associated Member would look like: If Canada becomes an "associate member" of the European Union (this is looking far more probable now in just mere hours). things will differ in our country as we see it rright now. Even though we are across the Atlantic Ocean, this partnership would bring massive changes to our daily lives. First, shopping would get cheaper. Businesses could sell things back and forth without paying extra taxes. This means European snacks, clothes, or video games will cost less in Canadian stores. Second, traveling and working would be MUCH easier. Canadian students could easily move to places like France or Germany to study or work summer jobs without complicated paperwork. Most importantly, Canada's military would grow extremely quickly and much stronger and way more advanced. By teaming up with Europe, we would share high-tech surveillance, powerful military equipment, huge additions of troops, and new firepower. (Re: Gripen fleet) Working together with the EU will allow Canada to build up a large-scale defense system much more rapidly than we could on our own. We would share the costs and the technology to protect our borders... From the Arctic (Greenland) to yes, in a stark reality now, even our southern border. That aside, Canada would still keep its own government and laws. We would NOT give up our freedom. Instead, we would gain an extremely powerful continental entity to keep each other safe. Joining the EU family would build a stronger safer, and much more connected future for all Canadians and Europeans. Shifting to new partners and definitely in this regarding up trustworthy allies and never turn their back on Canada like one we know, makes perfect sense. The coming days and the coming weeks will be historical for OUR nation and Europe. - We are here to witness it. Hello Europe. It's us, Canada. Good to see you. 🇨🇦 🇪🇺 #canpoli #cdnpoly #EU #CanEU #MAGA #Republicans

Hey JD Vance - or James Donald Bowman, or James David Hamel, or whatever the fuck your name is - just to clarify: You ‘commemorate’ the 25th anniversary of 9/11. You ‘celebrate’ happy occasions, like the day Trump drops dead. Hope that helps. 🇨🇦

The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendat word Ontari’io, which, appropriately, means “the lake is beautiful, the lake is big”. The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America. We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms. Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario – then, now and always.
