I used to be a dealer at Foxwoods. When a deck/decks get taken out of play, we bag it up, sign and seal the bag, and later on they look at it to make sure there are no markings. They use blacklight, infrared, ultraviolet, and probably some others I don't know of.

A legit casino will open a fresh box of cards every couple of hours for all the players to see. A cheat can smear some invisible ink on his finger and mark the corner of, say for example, the aces. If marked cards are found, they can review the footage to try and figure out who did it.

Not directly, but Damon jones was working for the Lakers and leaked out that lebron would miss a game through text so people could prop bet.

It is about the money.

People that make a lot of money, spend a lot of money.

Between taxes and agents fees they lose over 40% of their income off the top.

I am sure the radiation exposure from that x-ray table won't cause health issues for anyone.

Yep - I know it's Barstool, and not everyone likes them, but this is a good summary by Greenie if you don't want to dig into everything Pablo puts out there

Depends on who the guy is.

I don’t care who you are…. Welching on a bet is a good way to get your ass whupped. Or worse.

Yeah it cracks me up to think how before my dentist takes x-rays, he puts a lead blanket on me, leaves the room and turns the machine on for less than a second.

These guys were being bathed with x-rays and I doubt anyone was wearing lead underroos.

Well seems like he thought they were bluffing and his father paid for it. What do the kids say? F around and find out.

MJ receiving a lifetime ban from the NBA during his playing days would have been the biggest sports story in history.

Good thing they managed to spin it with a two-year “suspension”, saving the NBA in the process.

I wonder where MJ cards would be today had he been permanently banned?

Didn't "The Kid" want to be an owner of a club at one time?

Sometimes you need to raise a house to get rid of termites and this could be the case with this scandal....

Really hope KG isn't involved. One of my all-time faves.

Some ppl are thinking since he hasn't been arrested yet, maybe he was one of the guys that got scammed.

But I have a hard time thinking Chauncey would do an fellow NBA player dirty as opposed to bringing him into the scheme.

He’s definitely involved

Pablo has receipts on everyone

To be fair… Pablo backtracking? We shall see

��➕ A source close to Kevin Garnett tells @pablofindsout that Garnett initially thought he was going to an “afterparty” — not a poker game. And that he chose to leave the 2019 poker game, which was in LA, early.

Per source, Garnett has not been contacted by federal authorities.

If this is true, I wonder if Chauncey was planning on scamming KG or he tipped KG off and told him not to play because he didn't want to take money from a teammate.
