Does "see" equate to "call" at the WSOP or Vegas in general ... or will they allow the raise at the end?

I don't even think this is room-dependent. It depends on which floor supervisor comes over when someone tries this angle.

It should be a call every time.

96.3% of the time it is not an angle.

Just some schnook who learned his poker from bad movies and honed his skills in family home games and bar leagues.

I was once asked to leave a home game because I kept trying to explain that you can't do the "I'll call your x and raise you y" but they insisted that was how poker was played.

this one... still blows my mind https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctzrxyWIabY

If I am called to the table and it's an obvious noobie player at the lowest stakes game and it hasn't caused any problems with action behind, I will allow the raise and give him a warning that next time it will be a call.

Has anyone actually seen a player only call a bet by saying 'I see your bet.'?

but what about when they try to bet more than what the guy has at the table to "buy the pot" by pulling two fists of 80k out?

Wait. Does the other guy pull a deed for the ranch land he just bought out of his vest pocket and throw it in the pot? I think I saw that episode of Gunsmoke too.

Then the loser accuses the winner of cheatin' and the next thing you know we've got barking iron!

I'm gonna do it today

I have occasionally said, "I'll see it."

I have said 'Let's see a flop' or 'let's see a turn'. I have never heard anyone say 'Ill see your bet' or 'I'll see your 20'

Seeing a bet is just seeing a bet but it depends on what some other people think about it. If you say you see his hand, it should be considered a call or otherwise you need to declare his hand. But again, it isn't up to you.

I think the problem isn’t so much saying “I see your bet”. I think the problem is the compound sentence with numbers and also throwing in chips at the same time, oftentimes making an illegal raise.

“I’ll see your 20,” throwing in 20, “and raise it 30 more,” throwing in 30.

Also notice saying “see it” to call a bet.

I’m guessing that this expression used to be more popular and now has fallen out of use in casinos because it makes you appear to be inexperienced. Also procedure teaches dealers to use the word “call” to verify action. It’s sort of how in America, we say fold, and in the UK they say pass. I’m sure that if you say “pass” in an American casino, that would still be verbally binding.

I've read this about 15 times and I still don't understand what's trying to be said. I assume it's a translation issue?

"Pass" is akin to "check" as far as I know. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

My blind friend used to say it once in a while just to be funny.

Or he would say he has to raise because he can't see it.

"Pass" in the UK is definitely "fold".

Pass is a fold in both England and the US. Albeit is much less common in the US than 20 years ago.

I sit corrected. Thank you.

Wouldn't 'pass' or 'i'll pass' be a check if facing no action, and only be a fold if facing a bet?

Correct, since you can't fold when not facing a bet.

And yet people do this frequently ("checking out", not facing a bet), at least in the US. Bad etiquette, perhaps, but still a fold, 100% IME.
Where you play, if someone "checks out", do they force them to retrieve their hand and play it out?

No, but it's still not called a fold, it's called checking out. And if the dealer is doing his job, it's followed by a warning not to do that anymore.
