Dice Cheating in Cyprus?

In Response To: Dice Cheating in Cyprus? (Petter Bengtsson)

What a c*@t. If he'd been playing me he would have been told to leave the dice alone whilst it's my turn - Timur hadn't even started to make his play, let alone press his clock, and was therefore distracted to the illicit activity whilst playing.

This incident is a good reason for players to be able to enforce the use of a camera (potentially even one each, I suppose), as well as to INSIST the single pair of dice are not touched until clock is pressed. Of course, a skilled magician could switch dice whilst picking up the real dice, but at least the legerdemain bar is raised if his grubby hands are nowhere near them.

Might it not also be harder to achieve a switch if using a cup to get dice into the baffle box? Personally, I don't care whether opponent does this (I like to myself) but feel that if it's BB Preference/By Roll/Option the opponent of the BB player should be able to require this.
