Message: [QUOTE="VictorOd, post: 7196591, member: 207207"] Youtube recommendation algorithms work great so a true gem was recommended to me. It's one of the most interesting and entertaining videos I saw recently. Sal Piacente, a casino cheating expert, answers a ton of questions from players online. It's really eye-opening and goes into detail about the history of cheating and how casinos stay on top of it. He covers both old-school and modern methods of cheating, including: [LIST] [*][B]Casino Cheating:[/B] How casinos used to rig decks and how dealers could use techniques like "second dealing" to cheat players [[URL='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QWP4IZOu0I&t=94']01:34[/URL], [URL='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QWP4IZOu0I&t=126']02:06[/URL]]. He also talks about loaded dice [[URL='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QWP4IZOu0I&t=160']02:40[/URL]] and false shuffles [[URL='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QWP4IZOu0I&t=1396']23:16[/URL]]. [*][B]Player Cheating:[/B] Piacente explains how players cheat, from using marked cards [[URL='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QWP4IZOu0I&t=630']10:30[/URL]] to more advanced methods like electronic signaling devices ("thumpers") [[URL='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QWP4IZOu0I&t=907']15:07[/URL]] and collusion at poker tables [[URL='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QWP4IZOu0I&t=1061']17:41[/URL]]. [*][B]Casino Security:[/B] The video also gets into how casinos use high-definition cameras and extensive surveillance [[URL='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QWP4IZOu0I&t=1299']21:39[/URL]] to spot cheats. He mentions how they look for unusual player or dealer behavior [[URL='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QWP4IZOu0I&t=294']04:54[/URL]] and use digital databases to track known cheaters [[URL='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QWP4IZOu0I&t=1223']20:23[/URL]]. [/LIST] He even discusses famous examples, like the MIT blackjack team that we discussed recently and Phil Ivey's "edge sorting" technique [[URL='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QWP4IZOu0I&t=1614']26:54[/URL]]. The video is a solid reminder to all of us to be aware of what's happening at the table, whether you're playing at a casino or online. You can check it out here: [MEDIA=youtube]0QWP4IZOu0I[/MEDIA] Did anyone ever see something suspicious at a casino, or know someone caught for cheating? What other tricks or high-tech scams fascinate you most? If you have security experience, how do modern casinos stay ahead—do you think cheating is truly beatable? [/QUOTE]
