The Newest Casino Cheater
Today my update from the realm of active casino cheaters comes from the world's newest casino cheat.
I received the following note from the first person who's actually written me about trying out the moves I used in my book.
Richard,
Read your book and took action. It was the most satisfying money I’ve ever received from a casino. It was a post-bet placement of a $5 dollar chip on number 33. I placed the chip between the 32 & 33. Like your book says it was to the dealers far left and I could see the ball falling into the 33 slot on the wheel. It’s not much fun working on your own but it was greatly satisfying.
After reading your book I wasn’t concerned about a rat at the table. Because have often I been the victim of a dealer sweeping away a winning chip by accident then forced to argue for your winnings, and of course in the process made to feel small, petty and an inconvenience; as have most players. Plus the rudeness of the dealers, pit managers, the way management moves out of there offices if a player is having a hot streak. They change roulette balls, dealers, close the table and anything they can to move that hot streak to a cold streak. All the regular players have witnessed this and know the odds are stacked heavily against a player.
When I made my move there were only five people at the table and I knew one of them. No one even batted an eye. The one gambler I knew kind of had a slight smile on his face. I could tell he liked the move.
I’ve gone to several casinos around XXXXX for three to four years. Occasionally I’ve won, but briefly, just for a time when your strategy fits perfectly into the way the ball is spinning, or the cards are falling in blackjack. But as always, “you must lose” the odds are so overwhelming.
I was only briefly hooked on the casino’s gambling for about a year. After trying several strategies I thought-up and several more I read about, I realized “that no matter what strategy I employed the odds are overwhelming and I am going to lose”. I gave up serious betting and even going to the casinos but I still have a desire for revenge. Over that
year it cost me twenty grand.
It’s interesting that when I go to the casinos I still see people I met several years back still betting, still trying to win and no small number of them driven into poverty. Or reduced to taking their pay checks and losing them to the casinos the day they are paid. Of course, I listen to the dealers telling you how little they are paid and how they depend upon customers for tips to pay their bills. I know they are paid close to minimum wage but the casino’s make tons of money and could afford to pay them substantially more, But why should management let the suckers get ripped-off and pay the dealers too.
In short, I enjoyed ripping them off. I’m not sure it was even the money but it felt so good to level the playing field. I would like to put together a team and like the marines I am looking for a few good men.
I have several questions:
Are you going to open a school? (if so, sign me up.)
Are you going to start a club with tip sharing?
In the chapter where you meet Joe’s brother in Atlantic City. He said “I don’t do much post betting now. Mostly I just pickup stray bets and play poker with suckers on both sides of the Mississippi.” Could you please elaborate on “pickup stray bets?”
Appreciate a response.
