Right, as I said, they're not.

How is a site that doesn't advertise with us our bread and butter? They're competing against our advertisers.
Now, how about you argue against my point, rather than trying to make this something personal - even though I've already shown you that I'd have no ulterior motive to "defend" them, motive doesn't really change the point I'm making anyway.

And now we've got some hard evidence and your logical response is "eh, I'd like to see them cheat a few more times!"
As I said, the video looks terrible for them. But if the site itself is behind some kind of systemic BJ cheating scheme involving dealing seconds, why is there only the one video? I've only heard one plausible explanation - that the site does this on a regular basis, but removes any hands where they've cheated, and missed this one. The only other one I can come up with is that they just decided to start cheating, and got caught right out of the chute. But it's also possible that the dealer has done this on his own for some reason, or it could have been a mistake.
So while I would agree that it's possible this shows BOL is cheating at online BJ, it certainly isn't the only possibility, and I don't even know that it's the most likely one. You mention me "always crowing about hard evidence" - one aspect of hard evidence of cheating is the sample size. Just like a few bad beats isn't going to convince me a site is rigged, a single hand that appears to be showing a second being dealt doesn't leave me certain of the reason it happened.
