If he is so great, surely someone who is more well known from the world of blackjack could vouch for him. I have searched google as much as I am willing, and I can not find any connection between him and anyone of stature in the blackjack community. It seems very odd to me.
i think these are the main points!
yeah, the video looks fishy, but so does the wanna-be YT star. seriously, in the internet sub-thread someone posted, that the 'BJ pro' claimed he was offered 250k to take the video down, and he declined b/c he is so super rich and just wants the truth out there, yet he needs to sell his BJ advice and fan gear? ... not to mention, that the real BJ pros try to keep a low profile.
so bottom line is, this guy profits a lot from all the publicity. i don't say he lies, but he isn't like Diamond Flush, Noah SD, Halley or others either.
also ... please, lets get away from this simple black and white thinking. there's no 100% proof, and while we certainly don't need an absolute proof (pun intended btw), i really think we need more than this single incident in one video.
About the 'why should they cheat' argument. Sure, casinos are greedy as f***, and they could make more with this scam .... BUT
- due to the limitation of tables, the Live Casino is just a small part of the whole company
- the overall impact would be laughable (compared to lets say the bookie)
- the scam would need to involve so many people, including dealers, who earn a lol minimum wage, which means there's a high risk, of someone telling someone, leaking this whole thing
- the scam is somehow visible and cheating could be recorded
so bottom line, the risk versus profit ratio isn't that good. i know, still no 'proof' that this was legit, but at least a fair question to give some doubt, until we have more evidence.
last but not least, some ppl itt claim betonline changed the live casino, but i never saw any link to this statement - can someone provide this? thing is, while it makes sense for betonline to get a new supplier, is it possible to switch that fast?
the real interesting question is, could a 3rd party supplier profit from such cheating (e.g. they get a cut from the winnings, not a fixed rate)?
