And the security guys can count the hairs on the back of your hand with those cameras, too.

Jeez, that was dumb. I doubt the felony will stick. They'll take into account all the off the field work that he does with kids and he'll pay a hefty fine.

Newsflash.... The casinos own the state of Nevada. Do not try to cheat or steal from them.

That is all.

Well look, he had made the right bet anyway. Can't they take his word that he intended to bet more in the first place?

What about his self esteem?

Let's all agree that it is ridiculous that you can be charged with a felony over gambling at all. Also, 6 years per charge? How the hell did that ever pass the smell test? At best, all gambling related cases should be non-criminal charges resulting in penalties scaling between 2 and 10 times the damages.

The thing that sucks is you can get you knees broken for doing something totally legal - counting cards.

I understand that casinos can ask you to leave and not return if they suspect you're counting cards but the fact that they take it further (or at least make threats to do so) is completely wrong.

It's not illegal, it's just frowned upon.

They will ban you if you're counting cards. I know somebody banned from a casino or two for it. No broken knees, though.

I got curious, so I read up on it a bit. Most casinos are not run by mobs, but billion-dollar international business interests that would have no interest in physical harm (otherwise that Girls Gone Wild deadbeat would have had every limb from his body removed by now).

Counting cards will get you banned and tagged as a cheat in most casinos... except for Atlantic City. A court decision ruled that it wasn't right to ban skilled players for a game they were good at. As you can imagine, NJ casinos then made blackjack tons more difficult to count at (shuffling at every hand, for example).

As for Defensive Q, he really needs to just get this out of the news as fast as possible. The NFL is a privilege, and bad apples (even talented ones) get weeded out when bad publicity catches up with them... and it's not like talented football players can just find another football league to get rich in if the NFL blacklists them.

Good news.

Now, he can get his job back and maybe my Broncos can make it to the Super Bowl!

That's because the gambling industry runs Nevada.

He's lucky the mob doesn't still rule. He'd have been lucky to wake up nekkid with a concussion in the desert out by Nellis AFB.

with the Broncos...wonder how the draft will go?
