You may have watched YouTube vids and Netflix documentaries themed on Las Vegas swindlers, read blogs on how to cheat the house and watched movies like 21 depicting brainiac card counters smashing the casino for millions.
As an online and land-based gambling fanatic and a journalist in the field, I’ve always been fascinated by the inventive ways people find dishonest ways to beat the house. Some even get away with it, while most get caught. In today’s modern tech environment, getting away with cheating the casino is nearly impossible. The eye in the sky is always watching, and when it comes to online gambling, the bots are always recording.
Even the great pro poker player Phil Ivey couldn’t get away with a Punto Banco trick at London’s Crockford’s Casino. And once again, the world’s media is in a frenzy about two more casino game scammers. One didn’t get caught, and it seems another may have gotten away with his clever dice scam or is he on the run?
How to beat the house: There are few ways to beat the house these days. However, you can try implementing a strategy, which is perfectly legal. Check out our live dealer casino games guide covering live blackjack, roulette, Sic Bo, baccarat, poker and live casino game shows.
Cunning Con Artist Cracks Bet365 Security Slapped with 5-Year Sentence
In an audacious act of digital dexterity, a British bloke has bagged himself a five-year vacation in prison for bamboozling Bet365, the popular online gambling company. This cheeky chap, the ringleader of a devious scheme, managed to swindle a whopping GBP 236,000 since 2008. To pull off this outrageous operation, he circumvented single-account restrictions, creating over 1,000 Bet365 accounts, and manipulating bonuses.
People naively handed over their personal details, giving the crafty con artist the perfect opportunity to impersonate them and access Bet365’s services. He exploited this weakness to pocket bonuses he had no right to claim. Despite slipping through the company’s security measures, the sneaky swindler’s luck finally ran out.
The Long Arm of the Law Catches up with the Culprit
Although pleading not guilty, the court wasn’t buying it and handed him a five-year prison sentence. He narrowly escaped an even lengthier stay behind bars, as he was acquitted of money laundering charges. Detective Sergeant Mike Monkton reminded us all that using someone else’s name for online betting is a big no-no and that the fraudster’s actions were underhanded and deceitful.
When the boys in blue searched the swindler’s home in February 2019, they stumbled upon a treasure trove of 177 mobile sim cards, paperwork bearing various names, receipts for luxury items, bank books, and bundles of cash. The cops certainly hit the jackpot!
The Sidekicks’ Sticky Situation
Two accomplices also found themselves in hot water during the trial. One managed to wriggle free from money laundering and conspiracy to commit fraud by false representation charges. The other, however, wasn’t so fortunate. Although found not guilty of money laundering, the partner-in-crime had previously fessed up to conspiracy to commit fraud against Santander Bank. As a result, the co-defendant received a 16-month prison sentence, suspended as long as they keep their nose clean for the next 12 months. They must also clock up 100 hours of community service.
This case serves as a stern warning to those thinking about scamming online gambling companies. The audacious ringleader, Jon Howard, has faced the music, and others should think twice before trying their luck with similar schemes. The house always wins, and the sneaky swindler’s luck eventually ran out. So, let this be a lesson to all the would-be con artists out there – play fair or face the consequences!
This case serves as a warning to those who attempt to scam online gambling companies. Jon Howard has been punished, and others should think twice before following in his footsteps. You can read the full news report by Yahoo.
A Sneaky Man’s Magnetic Fingers Manipulates Hi-Lo & Sic Bo Dice
In Thailand, a man with a sneaky plan implanted magnets into his fingers to cheat in the country’s illegal Hi-Lo dice games. He managed to keep the magnets in his left-hand middle and ring fingertips for 40 years, but he recently visited a doctor to remove them. The man feared that the magnets would set off airport security alarms as he was about to catch a flight. The story went viral in Thailand!
A Quick Guide to Hi-Lo
You can play Hi-Lo at most live dealer tables. Dule Dice by BetGames live dealer studios has a very similar Duel Dice title. You can play online at most casinos.
However, in Thailand, the game is illegal both online and offline, but many underground casinos offer it. Players place their bets on either the “high” or “low”. If the dice roll high players betting on high win and vice versa. The dealer tosses the three dice, and players discover whether they have won or lost that round. If there’s a draw, the dealer declares a push, and all wagers are returned to the players. The game continues with players placing their bets for the subsequent round.
Magnetic Tricks in Dice Games
To cheat in dice games like Hi-Lo and Sic Bo, some players implant minuscule magnets beneath the skin, usually in their fingertips. The magnets enable the player to attract or repel the dice, thereby controlling the result of the roll. However, certain casinos use specialized non-magnetic dice or employ metal detectors to identify any foreign objects on players’ bodies to combat such dishonest tactics.
