The Unexpected Gambler

Autor Robert Asiel
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 apr 2018
An unknown chapter of gambling history that begins in "The Golden Age of Las Vegas". The author exposes past crooked casinos 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, and he offers his justification for beating them. His adventures led him to a happy, prosperous career throughout the U.S., Europe, and the Caribbean where there's intrigue, danger, and celebrity. He explains how he and hand-picked friends formed their own crew to 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. Today, crossroaders use his move to beat casinos worldwide. The author was featured on America's Most Wanted for failing to appear in federal court for a mob-connected casino play that he was alleged to have masterminded. He disappeared for four years and began writing his memoir before he surrendered to the U.S. Marshals Service when his lawyer secured an acceptable deal for him.
