Default Re: Absolute Cheating

"fair" = "as advertised"
"honest" = "equal chances for both".

Almost every card game I've played in - casino or poker table - has been honest. None have been fair. Sometimes I've had the mathematical edge, sometimes the house has; in almost all cases, every random event resolved as the theoretical model would suggest. Every die was a "1" 1/6 of the time, a "2" 1/6th of the time, etc.

In other words, fair <> honest. Most gambling you see in casinos and poker rooms in honest. None of it is fair. DUCY?
