Seeing through cards - technology development

[Steve]

Years ago I acquired technology that is capable of seeing through casino cards. This would have been used to predict the next card in blackjack, and to read the dealer's cards but the problem was it emitted radiation. It is highly illegal and unsafe to blast people with radiation.

A technician I've been developing the technology for years with has been trying to make a version that uses ambient radiation instead. We left it alone for some time though as development couldn't proceed further. We had the design for it and had tested the concept successfully, but for years the only way to build the technology into a small and practical device was to develop components at a cost that made it impractical.

Now things are different and we have the components we need. Development will still be expensive but considering the potential of the technology, it will be worth it. The device will be small enough to be comfortably worn (ie in pocket or strapped to inside of leg), and uses only ambient radiation from space.

The part I love most is we will be using some of the hybrid roulette computer technology. The hybrid technology will track the location of:

a. The player's cards
b. The dealer's cards (including knowing which ones are reversed/transparent)
c. The next card that is to be dealt

The location of these cards is easy because the hardware will have defines card location relative to marks on the table.

Parts A and B will be simple. But part C is a bit trickier. Nevertheless the edge obtainable from knowing the dealer's cards is all we would need.

From this point development will not be difficult â€" nowhere near as difficult as the hybrid roulette computer. Since we've already developed robust and accurate image recognition technology with the hybrid, much of the work is done.

I will release more details and show a video demo at some stage â€" I estimate 1-2 months from now for completion of the live card video. Then perhaps 1-2 months development for the rest of it. So conservatively, I will have technology that automatically determines the cards from A,B and C (including cards turned face down), then will give the player a highly covert vibration on whether to hit or stand.

Certainly this is a game changer. I only sold 2 of the hybrid V3s with the rest being used only by my private teams. I expect to also only sell 2 of the x-ray card readers. When I have the prototype ready for demonstration, I will announce it. If you have an interest in purchasing one of them, please keep an eye on my blog at link:://genuinewinnerroulette.blogspot.com but again it may be 4 or so months from now.

wouldnt it be highly illegal to use something like that?

[Turner]

I dont get it. Knowing a BJ dealers hand has little benefit. I would hit on 17 knowing they had 18 and bust. I would hit two eights instead of splitting because i see the dealer has 19 and bust. I would lose less on splits and doubles not win more. Can it see through the shuffling machine?. That would be useful.

Smart cats knows that it is UNWISE to  play Black Jack . A certain guru recommends  to play roulette instead.



N.D.

[Twisteruk]

Well I think it would be a big help

I can see that if the Dealer has 17 18 19 or 20 and I was holding, say 16/17 I would stand 100% of the time and lose 100% of the time, at least this way I *could* hit a winner, one I never would of chose to go for
Also Insurance when the Dealer has a A.......thats a win win big time

Radiation ? who gives a fig about that if you can get a BJ 

[F_LAT_INO]

Would be great for h.poker playing

[Bayes]

The device will be small enough to be comfortably worn

You mean like this?

That Stup.id bayes...you have a chance the equiptment goes unnoticed but the child is clearly under age

[Steve]

wouldnt it be highly illegal to use something like that?

No, because most laws only address technology that INFLUENCE game outcomes. They say nothing about predicting them. This would open up a whole new can of worms for sure. But not before damage is done.

Bayes, that is the original concept, but designs changed arising from concerns of not being covert.

Steve,

care to comment on the remark about this being useful in poker?  I could see this being waaay more profitable playing poker than BJ, but then you have to be able to see everyones cards, and they might hide them under their hands, under chips, etc.... would it still work?

No, because most laws only address technology that INFLUENCE game outcomes. They say nothing about predicting them.

That's what the courts decided after the Ritz team made over a million at roulette a few years ago. They were allowed to keep their winnings.

[Tomla021]

obviously would be perfect for poker---people might kill ya if they found out

[speed]

is there any video so we can see how it works ?

[Steve]

I could see this being waaay more profitable playing poker than BJ, but then you have to be able to see everyones cards, and they might hide them under their hands, under chips, etc.... would it still work?

Yes easily, but then you are screwing over people just trying to make money. Applying it against casinos is very different.

is there any video so we can see how it works ?

Yes within 2 months I will publish a video.

[Skakus]

Yes easily, but then you are screwing over people just trying to make money. Applying it against casinos is very different.

That is a very real problem with this type of technology. Once they have the ability people will cheat on others for money or glory. How would you address this despicable situation?
