And you believe this because someone posted this on an Internet forum?

Okay.
If you are replying to my post, please re-read it. I wrote that there is proof that BJ dealers (and thus casinos) cheat as shown in the YouTube video of live play at an online casino. I did not comment on the link that KewlJ posted so I am not sure how you got that from my post (assuming you were replying to it). Given that there is proof that casinos cheat, dismissing the information in the link outright is wanton. You are not an expert card mechanic so assuming that someone is incapable of using an advanced technique in a dealt game to clump cards is foolish IMHO. A highly-skilled dealer may know some shuffles from the fresh ordered deck that bring certain cards together for a time. So a caveman doesn't understand fire and calls it magic.
I used to know a couple of baccarat dealers who could do some amazing things that you had to see to believe.
I do believe that Casino dealer cheating is rare these days but I am sure it still happens.
Cheat them before they cheat you.
