Casino Cheats Q & A's: Part 4.

 

 

 

 

What should you do if you think a casino is conning you?

 

The best piece of advice we offer here is to find another casino. Although it is probably true that you have made an error, most casinos will not cheat their clientele, they make more money from you returning than they would from a one-off con- which is all they would get as people cotton on pretty quick to being scammed. The reason you are losing will either be down to a bad beat, or you are just not very good at the game you are playing yet. However, even if a casino is cheating you, there is very little you can do about it. Firstly you would have to prove it, then you would need to report it to the necessary judicial body, and online this could be in a different country. The best thing to do is avoid that casino and warn other potential players against playing at the site, for example you could tell people on casino review forums- the news normally spreads quickly online.

 

 

Are there any poker sites that continually cheat their clientele?

 

The answer is yes, certain casinos are set up specifically by criminals out to find out your personal details, particularly your credit card details. Many such sites exist, but fortunately they are not well-known or popular, our advice therefore, is to stick to casinos that have solid reputations. If you get a sense that a casino is bad news, you might as well not play there; there are many others to choose from after all.

 

Are online poker games fixed?

 

If by fixed you mean is there cheating at online poker sites, then yes. However, if you mean are the casino rooms out to systematically cheat players out of money, then no. The scams that we hear about in the papers are usually one-offs. The poker sites make more money from establishing a regular clientele than they would from the one-off scams. Think about it, the poker rooms get a certain percentage from every deposit made, then they basically sit back while their customers play, they have barely any overheads so they just relax and take in your money- why drive you away by cheating?

 

Are online cheat sites worth listening to?

 

I would advise against listening, they are simply trying to sell whatever software it is they claim to be ‘the ultimate poker cheat’. Some information may be useful, but the majority is not.

 

 

Can an advantage be drawn by sitting in the 1^st base position in blackjack?

 

The only advantage that can be taken from sitting in 1^st base happens if you are yourself a cheat. It is the position immediately to the left of the croupier, and can occasionally be a prime position to see the cards that the croupier accidently flashes, or if you are in cahoots with the dealer, that he sneakily shows you.

 

 

As a dealer in the casino, is it ever worth cheating?

 

Only if you manage to make enough money to fund the rest of your life and you are able to make a fast getaway to some crimainally accepting country. If not the you are likely to run into the same problems that you would if you cheated any employer, the worst of which is prison. If you like working in the casino industry do not cheat, or you will never get another job again, unless you are a really good thief and they subsequently employ you as an informer of cheating techniques- but that is extremely rare!! Don’t do it!!

 

 

Is it worth cheating at roulette with the use of computers?

 

It really depends where you are, in the US you should never attempt it, if you are caught using specialist equipment to cheat a casino you will be arrested. In the UK the jury is still out on the issue, but the risks are not worth it, it could be on your case that the issue is finally resolved and you end up with a prison sentence.

 

 

Should I make use of counterfeit chips?

 

It is not really worth it, if you are caught it is a serious offence, similar to being found with counterfeit money, in the United States anyway. Plus you will be banned from all major casinos in the area where you operate your scam.  

 

 

If I am a good cheat at blackjack, can I pull if off at craps?

 

In general, if you are a good cheat at blackjack, you will be a good cheat at craps too. Although the games are technically different, there are some fundamental similarities in the type of skill you would need. Knowing how to cheat table games, for example, is generic- if you can substitute chips at one table, you will be able to do the same at all table games.

 

 

 

When playing baccarat, why is it advisable to follow the shoe streaking on one side?

 

You need to keep an eye on the shoe in case other people in the vicinity are cheating. The false-scams have been increasing in frequency in recent years and dealers can sometimes fix the deck so that they can make certain cards come out of the shoe when they want. Shoe fixing is prolific and you need to be well versed on the issue in order to avoid being cheated.
