@violentvinylThe IR filter on the color camera is to prevent the IR from being picked up by the red sensors. Otherwise, the color would appear to be distorted by the IR reflected/emitted from the object. (This would be wicked awesome in our natural vision. Hot objects would have their color distorted slightly. I'm sure with a little practice, we could make use of the temperature information.)
Blackjack goes in your favor slightly if you can keep track accurately.I won't say "Card Counting" because that seems to have negative connotations.. but the fact is that given publicly available information at the table, the game as designed is not in favor of the house if everyone played optimally.
Marked as inaccurate. Seeing your cards would not increase the casinos chance of winning. First you don't play against the house when playing regular poker at a casino, the house just takes a rake from every hand dealt and you play against other losers such as yourself. In other card games where you do play against the house, such as blackjack, the dealer plays by a specific set of rules and the dealer has no decisions to make much less care what the players have.
Hey, did anyone know the casino takes a rake in poker no matter what, and thus seeing hole cards would be irrelevant? Just thought I'd get that out of the way quickly.Now onto reading the beginning of the thread...

Nice try.. but this is fake. Look at the following picture:<a class="user" href="http://static.flickr.com/117/293990052_2f82260023.jpg?v=0">http://static.flickr.com/117/293990052_2f82260023.jpg?v=0</a>Even though the angles are slightly off, this picture shows a completely different index finger position.

No it's not. The IR camera is closer to the cards than the regular camera.

That's crazy. That is why when I play I try my best to make enough to pay for my trip and then I quit, because casinos will get you every time.<a class="user" href="http://www.craps-player.com">http://www.craps-player.com</a>

I'm not getting how this works. I have to have some sort of monitor setup to actually see the x-ray shot, right? (or be Superman, which I'm not). First obviously its inferred. Second obviously no reputable casino uses this. Third why not just point the camera at the guys hand? well same reason you don't do this. <a class="user" href="http://chemicaleme.info">http://chemicaleme.info</a><a class="user" href="http://physicalore.info">http://physicalore.info</a><a class="user" href="http://slowwoe.info">http://slowwoe.info</a>
