Everything is recorded on digital media, either digital cards or hard drives. But as someone who shoots video for a living, I know that there are still people who say "Roll tape". This past Friday I shot a remote interview that was later played back on a TV show, and that is still called shooting "live to tape." And to sum it all up, I like the photos of the ladues with tape covering certain areas as opposed to digital blurring. At this point in my life, things already look blurry enough.Norm in Vegashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03740307430644416092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-48056738656539378092015-07-31T17:23:46.579-07:002015-07-31T17:23:46.579-07:00Thanks, totally agree.Thanks, totally agree.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05767080296489122846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-87404346409105600622015-07-31T17:19:57.875-07:002015-07-31T17:19:57.875-07:00Thanks, MOJO....I can definitely see something lik...Thanks, MOJO....I can definitely see something like that happening.

People always ask to check the cameras and unless its a big pot, its not really going to happen because its gonna take a lot of time for everything to process. Either that pot gets locked up and the game continues or the game comes to a stand still for a good amount of time, which upsets the other players that want to play.

The dealer, perhaps distracted, tossed the black chips back to the guy doing the color up instead of putting them in front of my stack (I was on break).Memphis MOJOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12653631347560307425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-38601808209353104172015-07-31T12:38:00.544-07:002015-07-31T12:38:00.544-07:00Interesting...but I thought Gaming insisted on hav...Interesting...but I thought Gaming insisted on having those cameras and making sure they worked?Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05767080296489122846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-9613584083922667802015-07-31T12:25:11.823-07:002015-07-31T12:25:11.823-07:00I used to work in a sports book on the strip and t...I used to work in a sports book on the strip and the question of tape came up. All the clerks who had been there a while said those camera's have been broke for years. Meanwhile a clerk came up $2500 short one day and there was never any tape proof of what had happened. He got fired though.

Was it more of a dealer error (dealer should have been on top of it anyway.<br /><br />Other thing is that it is kind of bad that it took them awhile. What would they have done if the player with the extra chips busted to someone in the meantime. Could you have gotten them back from the player he busted to? It also might have affected bets/all-ins from either one of you too.

When I returned, my green chips (maybe 1000 of them) were gone, but no bigger chips. When I complained, they went to the tape (but the tournament continued), and later the player who did the color up had to give my whatever it was I was due.Memphis MOJOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12653631347560307425noreply@blogger.com
