GAMBLING SCAMS is the first book to answer that question and also help the reader avoid the risk of ever being cheated again. For example do you know how to tell if someone is dealing from the bottom of the deck How a cheat can know every card in your hand even when playing with ordinary unmarked cards How professionals mark cards on the faces to cheat at poker Which gambling casinos are most likely and which least likely to cheat you How you can be cheated at blackjack even when the cards are dealt from a shoe Why backgammon is the fastest-growing field for professional cheats How to spot the crookedest game on any carnival midway Mr Ortiz's lucid explanation of the sleight-of-hand moves for manipulating cards and dice the ingenious mechanical gadgets cheats use and the psychological ploys they work with make fascinating reading. And the many entertaining anecdotes from his own personal experiences illuminate the secret subculture of the professional gambling cheat and provide a rare behind-the-scenes tour of the incredible work of crooked gambling.
