I can't understand why the dealer would accede to their requests to turn the cards around

you'd think that casino dealers would know that cards are not all alike and would suspect a player has identified them if they ask them to be turned around.
This is an ancient technique after all

        yep, they should sack the croupier and pay out the pundit (n/m) (Other Sports) - Jumbo1, Oct 3, 19:53:49

        the point is, the management agreed to the terms, the dealers wouldnt do this on their own (Other Sports) - usacanary, Oct 3, 20:24:14
