Jeff and cj take a wild ride through the world of card-game “edges” on this pre-Thanksgiving break extra length episode!
Starting with the respectable stuff: game theory, probability, and reading opponents before things escalate as they tour the many shady, creative, and outright illegal ways people try to tilt the odds: sleight-of-hand, marked cards, secret signals, corrupt dealers, mechanical holdouts, and the modern wave of smartphone-powered scams.
A quick detour through the staggering mathematics behind a 52-card deck, then arriving at the crown jewel: the DeckMate 2 shuffler and the real-world cheating scandals surrounding its hackability. From live-streamed poker controversy in 2022 to last month’s massive DoJ indictment involving mobsters, NBA figures, and rigged shufflers, the guys explore how high-tech tampering has changed the cheating landscape.
