<br>Since the very first casino opened its doors, an endless war has raged between the operators trying to protect their money and the criminals trying to steal it.<br>
<br>The [casino](http://www.we-class.kr/kirbycopley65/kirby2012/-/issues/1)'s "Eye in the Sky" catches most of them eventually, but recognizing the signs of a scam unfolding right next to you is a fascinating skill.<br>
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>Often, a confederate (an accomplice) will intentionally spill a drink or loudly argue with a waitress at the exact moment the cheater makes the move.<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
Card Marking and Edge Sorting
<br>Cheaters attempt to destroy this mystery by physically marking the high-value cards (like Aces and Faces) so they can be identified from the back.<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>However, highly skilled mechanics attempt a scam known as "dice sliding," which completely removes the random tumble of the dice.<br>
<br>This mathematically alters the probability of hitting a 7, giving the cheater a massive, incredibly illegal advantage over the house.<br>

<br>Attempting to cheat a modern casino is an incredibly foolish endeavor that almost universally ends in severe felony charges and prison time.<br>
