lmao reason why cheating online is bigger threat

In Response To: Could happen in B+M, too (PerpetualCzech)

I've played in B&M, and when I see folks giving signals I have two choices, either to take the additional info or say something so that the cheating stops.

In an online game, use of IM or even better other phone, players can pass perfect signals and the other players will have no way of discovering. WHy do I say that phone is better? Well most net casinos employee bots that follow all visitors/customers footsteps and easily could identify those who are communicating vis-a-vis IM.

DOES THIS ANSWER YOUR QUESTION WHY CHEATING ONLINE IS A BIGGER DANGER THAN B&M???

FYI: goto any 1 to 5, or 5 to 10 7 card game in vegas and watch for 30 minutes, I guarentee that you will see tourists attempting, albiet poorly, to pass signals. Now, go online and those same folks can perfectly send signals. So, to put it bluntly, it is easier to give signals online AND the chances of getting caught a much less.

DUHHHHHHH
