How Cheaters Manipulate Casino Chips
|
||||
<br>The most common and arguably the most difficult-to-detect method of table game cheating is a sleight-of-hand maneuver known universally as "past posting."<br>
|
||||
<br>While the dealer's eyes are momentarily distracted by the sudden commotion, the extra high-denomination chips are seamlessly slid onto the winning betting circle.<br>
|
||||
The scam almost always involves a loud, intentional distraction created by an accompliceCheaters also use "pinching," which is removing chips from a bet after losing the handIf a player is constantly hovering their hands near their chips after the deal, pit bosses become highly suspicious

The Complex Scam of Edge Sorting
|
||||
<br>Historically, this involved utilizing invisible ink readable only with special contact lenses, or using a fingernail to create a tiny, microscopic dent in the cardboard.<br>
|
||||
<br>By convincing the dealer to rotate specific high-value cards 180 degrees, the player can easily identify them before they are dealt, completely destroying the house edge.<br>
|
||||
The Mechanics of a Craps Scam
|
||||
<br>Instead of throwing the dice into the air, the cheater expertly slides one of the dice completely flat across the felt, preventing it from ever tumbling.<br>
|
||||
<br>This mathematically alters the probability of hitting a 7, giving the cheater a massive, incredibly illegal advantage over the house.<br>
