Rob Singer's claims revisited

[SLaPiNFuNK]

Slapinfunk gave his opinion as a poker player. I went to a blackjack pit where the tables were arranged so that seeing cards over the lips of the table was impossible. Add in the bodies of other players that are in the way. Add in that the dealers at both tables may not be dealing at the opportune time that you could see the cards.

Sure, under perfect conditions I could differentiate a 2 from a 9 and a 6 from paint, but this is supposed to happen under playing conditions.

Someone, someone, go to a casino, sit in the middle seat as kewlj says he does, and report back. So far NO ONE has done it, not even redietz.

Actually... The cards used at blackjack (Poker Sized) are easier to read from a far than the decks used at Poker (Bridge Sized).

Plus the Black Jack cards are usually large faced (bigger letters) but then again, as I stated previously, you do not need to read the letters or numbers on the card. You simply need to only see the pips.

If a dealer has the stump off the table enough at a poker table I can makeout much of the card while being pitched. If a picture or what suit. It isn't perfect, but even having the knowledge of the player being dealt a red card rather than a black card can give you an "edge" at a poker game.

But yes... If you know how to read cards you can read them from across the room very easily...


Pop quiz... Who can tell me what this card is?
