Even in European casinos where players cannot physically touch the cards, there are still cheating moves available to the players. One such move is one that I call the “double deception” and it goes like this.
The rules of blackjack in England state that a player can double on either 9,10 or 11. So if they have $10 on the hand and their first two card total comes to either of those three totals then they can double their wager. Now the psychology behind this cheating move is based on the general mental lethargy of the dealer.
When the player goes to double then they do so before the dealer gets to their box. This then goes without saying that this move can only be executed on a game with several players. It also needs to be executed when the player is out of the dealers line of sight which means on third base or the box that is the last to act.
The procedure for a double is that the player places an amount of money equivalent to his original bet at the side of the original bet. The “double deception” involves placing this money on top of your original bet and relying on the dealer not noticing the amount that you had on.
If the amounts are small then the chances are that they will not notice. If you continually skip between $5 and $10 bets then the dealer will be even less inclined to notice. The real art behind this move is in giving yourself an out if you get caught. So you act distracted and turn around to observe roulette tables as if you are looking to place a bet or you are watching what someone else is doing somewhere else……anything so that if the dealer notices then you can simply apologise and it would be passed off as nothing more than an error on your part.
If the dealer does not notice then you now have twice the money on the box in an advantageous situation.
