The pit crew at Jerry's Nugget was talking about this Saturday afternoon. I'm surprised it took this long for the conversation to pop up here.

How do you smudge ink from a hollowed out chip onto every 10,J,Q and K that passes your way without someone noticing immediately?

I'm surprised he tried this at Barona. They have a bit of a reputation for catching cheats.
Of course when you make the decision to cheat, your judgment isn't the best to begin with. (He's been arrested four times prior to this.)

I think those were both mostly introduction and "hey I'm coming into town" threads rather than a discussion thread.
I had no idea that Archie had a history of being a known cheat. It's a little sad as I always just wanted to think the guy was just lucky.

An admirable and quite common sentiment, but not one that is ever found amongst Floor Persons, Pit Bosses or Surveillance-types.Quote: Ahighas I always just wanted to think the guy was just lucky.
Real blonde or Bottle Blonde can be debated, as can airhead or brilliant; but winning is the tip off as far as surveillance types are concerned. They are trained to never believe in luck.

Gr8Beet, you are right!
I didnt realize i had started intro theads before.
I was at Southpoint most of the month of June. I would have loved to have seen Ahigh, I recall the issue started with a discussion about Archie.
Any way I love the this site and I have learned so much from all of you.

Archie Karas has competitors:
CNN:
Bruce Koloshi, 54, of Summit, New Jersey, who was known in other casinos as a card marker, was observed by Mohegan Sun Casino surveillance playing at a "Mississippi Stud" table game, Connecticut State Police said in a statement. Upon reviewing the video footage, it was determined that Koloshi was marking cards with an ink-type substance that was made visible through special contact lenses that he was wearing, the statement said. Koloshi's attorney, John Maxwell, declined to comment. Koloshi is expected to appear in court on September 27.

I respected him before he was caught cheating. I don't respect him anymore. I'm really sad because he was one of my models of how luck could allow you to win if you were lucky enough.
I feel the same way about folks who do things like exploiting dealers who are showing the hole card and other gray area forms of cheating (Phil Ivy went down a notch in my book with his recent ordeal too).
I say "lock-em-up!" They are making it harder for the casinos to pay those who truly deserve to win from good fortune.

I have a written, doctor's prescription that entitles me to possess one and one half pounds of Medical Marijuana.
The marijuana comes from dispensaries, and the quality is absolutely amazing, much better than I ever found on the street.
Call it HBO, or wax, or shatter: I like it, I like it a lot.
Heck, it's *almost* addictive.

I seen the same thing on the blackjack tables at the Western. And their excuse for having all the money when they got shook down by the cops on the street was they were professional gamblers.

Card protectors are very common, would not be considered anything to pay your card protector on a high ranking card (as you shuffle them a little bit in your hands as you look at them)- maybe even bounce the 'protector' on them a little bit. - this is poker world of course, not sure how we would do it on a regular table game if it is one where they get real stingy on whats on the table or touching the cards.

On a recent Gambling with an Edge podcast, Munchkin expressed some disbelief that Archie went on his amazing run with completely legitimate gambling techniques. It just doesn't all add up...hard to have that run of luck at the craps table, especially if you really start with $50 in your pocket.

A while back there was a different thread that had something about Archie cheating, I can't find the thread, but I was sticking up for him, saying that he just got lucky when he won all that money! Now I would apologize to who ever it was, that said he must have cheated! I have no use for anybody that cheats to win!
Note, all my post start with this is just my opinion...!

Gee, the guys I grew up with had this motto : Win if you can, lose if you must, but always CHEAT !
One of them was William Stephen Belichick . He says the $500,000 the NFL fined him for cheating was just another business expense.
