Most common games that cheaters frequent?

As an interesting aside, as part of our training, we were basically taught how to cheat using a number of cheat moves. It was so we would recognise the moves if we saw them. Most of them involved some form of misdirection, such as on roulette, deliberately stretching to put on a late bet, whilst using this distraction to place chipps on the winning column.

I would think that capping off or taking away chips is by far the most common kind of cheating. I just assume that since there is a natural urge to do that behavior.

Am I wrong? Do cheaters avoid this behavior thinking that they will be easily caught?

You would thinks so, but in my experience, they dont. Not that I have seen many cheaters, only had 2 I know of in my 3 year career.

But we did recently have a case of pure theft. A senior dealer was passing out £25 chips (black) hidden inside stacks of dark blue chips to a customer, who was then cashing them out and splitting the proceeds. The both were prosecuted as far as I am aware.
