Little_prince Supersonic May 13, 2013 Share May 13, 2013 ANOTHER six Thai men were charged on Monday with cheating the Marina Bay Sands casino of nearly $1.2 million. On Saturday, eight alleged accomplices, comprising four men and four women, were charged. Seven were Thai nationals while one was a Laotian man. The 14 of them, aged between 23 and 50 years old, are said to have colluded to win cash chips worth $1.2 million while playing baccarat at the casino on May 7 from 2.50am to 6am. They apparently devised a fraudulent scheme in which they knew the sequence of the cards in advance. All 14 are remanded for further investigations. The eight foreigners charged earlier will return to court on Friday while the case against the latest six in the dock will be mentioned again next Monday. http://www.straitstimes.com/breaking-news/...t-scam-20130513 wow. i wonder how they did it? maybe they're like those MIT kids. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ender Hypersonic May 13, 2013 Share May 13, 2013 (edited) It's called Card Counting. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Card_counting Is card counting a scam or strategy/Skill? Coz if it's a strategy, then I don't think it's illegal, but just against house rule which the most would be banned from MBS or chopped fingers.
