Thread: Shills

A lot of these recent posts sound like they are coming from online sites to entice people to play. Snore.

Speaking of shills. Have you ever played at a casino where someone tried to steal your chips or MOVED YOUR BET in baccarat from one position to another. I had it happen playing at a table that offered higher payouts if the win was by more than 5 points. It backfired for the shill because the play won for me. It's a bet I never would have risked money on. I've also had it happen at roulette. A player was putting his chips on the inside and had his hand right over my bet on the outside. I caught him and moved his hand. There are just too many criminals in casinos. In fact, I wonder sometimes if casinos hire people that have criminal records... I say that because I have found that they are almost required to cheat. I've had 3 chips on the triple on Sicbo and the dealer swiped the chips off quickly like he pulled the wool over someone's eyes. I had a friend with me, so he never got away with it. There is just too much dirty business that goes on. My opinion of impartial bodies like the gaming commission is they are on the side of the casino anyway. They make a percentage off of them, so why would they take my side.

No. Never.
