Using Lie Detector Tests To Test For Cheating

[Yo_Respek]

For really big tournaments they should have four lie dectector machines set up to test incoming or eliminated players for cheating.

Have the test take five minutes and have it consist of about 8 questions.

Not admissible in court/ what would the penalty be ?

[Yo_Respek]

No penalty. It would just give them evidence to review tapes.

Thank you Big Brother.
I knew you're only watching out for "my best interest".
Couldn't we also all have mirco chips implanted under our skin for tracking? You know, just to be safe.
Heck, why stop there? Just tattoo bar codes across everybodies foreheads, it'll speed up check out at the grocery store, and that's for the good of the people, because we all hafta eat.

[Yo_Respek]

It's a private business. If people want to play poker they would have quick exam. It's in the best interest of everyone. All questions would relate to cheating and would not be revealed to anyone unless a subsequent investigation proved that the person(s) did in fact cheat.

[Yo_Respek]

I would be more than happy to take such a test if it were quick and painless. I hate cheaters and scumbags. I think this should be in all casinos even for cash games.

[Jack Bando]

What about false positives/false negatives? The fact they can be manipulated to some extent? The fact that scientific studies have put them barely above the level of chance?

Bad idea.

[NoMeansYes_]

worst idea since 9/11

[BluffTHIS!]

Actually they need to have intelligence detector tests for new accounts on 2+2. Otherwise someone might make threads like:

Many banks and police departments use them. It would only be used to detect large cheating rings or consistant cheaters. It would just the casino a basis to watch certain people to detect them.

It would also act as a big deterent to people.
