Could You Spot the Moment the Dealer Stacked the Deck? Nobody in the Casino Could

​

Episode 4 of the Cheating at Blackjack podcast takes you inside one of the most deceptive moves in casino cheating: stacking the deck at the blackjack table. This is a video podcast, so you won't just hear about it — you'll see exactly how it was done.
As the dealer, I estimate I stacked my agent over 300 winning hands during my run in the 1980s Las Vegas casinos. But here's what most people get wrong about how we did it.
We didn't always stack my agent a blackjack.
Too many blackjacks draw heat — and heat is the one thing you can't afford. So what did we stack instead? A 15. That's right — on the surface, a losing hand. Why would a cheating dealer stack his own agent a 15?
Because I, as the dealer, would bust.
There is nothing more deceptive than that. A player winning with a 15 looks like luck. A player winning with a blackjack looks like a pattern. That distinction kept us invisible for years.
Of course, stacking the deck means nothing if you can't beat the cut. In Episode 4 we show you that too.
