First out is Richard Marcus, one of the most successful casino cheaters ever.

Richard Marcus is a now retired casino hustler who - for three decades - has scammed casinos in Las Vegas and around the world for millions of dollars, without getting arrested even once. Craps, Roulette, Baccarat and Blackjack were his favorite games, and his best discipline was what casino cheaters call past posting.

Past posting is a simple way of cheating, yet it demands that you are dexterous and have nerves of steel.

You simply post, say, five $10 chips at a roulette table. When you miss your number, nothing happens and you lose your bet; but when the ball lands in the selected socket, you quickly approach your wager. And now comes the tricky part: Without anyone seeing what you're up to - neither a floor person nor the eye-in-the-sky - you place a high-denomination chip in the bottom of your pile of chips.

When the croupier then pay your bet, you say something like "hey, you paid me too little, I bet $1,050, not $60." And when the croupier examines your wager, he will se that that it consists of five $10 chips plus one $1,000 chip and not six $10 chips as he first thought.

However, in the late 80s, casinos started installing cameras above every table so they could see what every player did all the time. This was supposed to put an end to past posting. But Richard Marcus invented a way to beat the cameras, one of the most brilliant casino cheats ever created, The Savannah.
