The Unexpected Gambler: A History of Casinos Cheating the Public and One Gambler's Revenge

An unknown chapter of gambling history that begins in "The Golden Age of Las Vegas", and ends in the new millennium.

The author details how crooked casinos cheated, and describes the people who retaliated against them called crossroaders. He reveals the methods both sides used that he learned from veteran crossroaders who taught him how to beat casinos. It led to adventures throughout the U.S., Europe, and the Caribbean where there's intrigue, danger, and celebrity.

He explains how he and his hand-picked friends beat all casino games in every major casino, gambling boat, and cruise ship for decades. They used sleight-of-hand, doctored dice, hi-tech marking inks, and other methods.

The author invented a magical 21 move that was imperceptible and fooled every 21 dealer, casino boss, and surveillance system that his team faced for 15 years. When the casinos discovered his move they changed from dealing the cards face-down to face-up. A true story, entertaining and informative.
