    BetOnline Live Dealer cheating (video) and they possibly have hired former Absolute Poker Payment Processor Brent Beckley

    I've watched the video in the clip and have played on this site. The thing is they don't need to cheat to win over the long run so the card could have just been stuck but the dealer clearly messes up.

    They just recently went from 50% penetration to 25% on an 8 deck shoe for this particular dealer site and their hand shuffle seems very weak as well but I've never made much out of it.

    From the article it also mentions this:

    BetOnline uses Costa Rica-based Global Gaming Labs (GGL) for its live casino service, which also offers live baccarat and roulette. GGL has also yet to publicly comment on the incident.

    This is the second time this week that BetOnline has found itself in controversial crosshairs, following rumors that former Absolute Poker payments director Brent Beckley – fresh out of federal prison for Black Friday-related bank fraud charges – had joined the online sportsbook in an undetermined capacity.
    Here is a link to the Brent Beckley rumors:

    Take me deeper here, how did he know he needed to take that card at that time...

    If intentional how is that working?

    watched this clip a few times...no fucking way that was a screw up...seems like he intentionally flicks the first card to deal the second...funny thing is is that 2 of the players weren't affected so he only really fucked the third player who would have broken even if he dealt it right...

    need detective druff on the case...

    If he dealt it right, the 3rd player would have 19 and the dealer would be on 16 and drawing another card. Who knows, maybe they all lose. Looked like a brain dead dealer and nothing intentional.

    Don't get me wrong it looks very intentional to me too even though he seems distracted which is the only reason it might not be. The thing is he flicks his finger a few times that we see in the slow mode that makes it seem so suspect.

    Even though they don't need to cheat to win and seems silly to do it given the house edge the greed to get money faster from people could make them do this shit.

    A lot of things can happen to give live dealer blackjack additional edge. Someone can timeout not betting in time, their internet can fail mid hand,etc... They might get lucky to win a hand they normally wouldn't but more times then not they will lose more when this happens.

    As for how the dealer could know what the next card is their could be a camera build in the scanner where maybe he has the ability to see something, is given a signal in the background, or told in a headset that the next card isn't good for him.

    The 6 he was suppose to get will bust him frequently so if their is enough in placed bets the casino could pull this angle where a few people will win but not everyone.

    I'm speculating a lot here of what could happen on these sites but how often sketchy stuff goes down and which sites are doing it who knows.

    I'm sure this is just a huge misunderstanding...

    but seriously it would take a whole lot of effort to pull this scam off just so you can occasionally flick up a card to beat someone out of a hundred dollars. You're really going to risk everything for that bet? Not to mention they know that there are tons of twitch people who stream these live bj games to thousands and thousands of people. The risk is out weighing the reward by a lot. Also I'd like to know how the hell they know what every single card in the shoe is?
