Basically for a casino, find a way to turn the odds in your favor and you are a cheat. They can do the same to you and everything is fine.
I try to count cards if I play blackjack (really play, not just there for a few hands to relax). Especially if I can find a single deck game. Nothing illegal, just me, myself and I. Multiple times I seemed to have gotten the attention of someone because I was winning well. That is when the pit boss would start asking me if I wanted rated almost every hand. When he wasn't asking me that it was a cocktail waitress asking if I wanted a drink.
After a few hands of them doing that I had enough and took my (their) money and moved on.
So I say bravo to Ivey (but not for being a dick) and think the judge is wrong for asking for repayment.
