Within the past week four poker players were arrested in
Atlantic City and have been charged with using a computer and
cheating devices to commit theft, attempted theft by deception
and conspiracy. Steve Forte, James C. Harrison, Stephen
Phillips, and Joseph T. Ingargiola are all currently out on
bail.
These four men supposedly set up a rigged home game in a hotel
room at the Borgata.
They would entice high stakes players to
come play in their games where they had hidden cameras
positioned in a way that they could see the players cards. There
were also
reports of marked cards being used.
Steve Forte is the author of "Poker Protection - Cheating... and
the World of Poker". The content of his book pertains
specifically to the awareness and prevention of cheating in home
games. It addresses the use of marked cards and cheating crews.
Be very careful of where you play home games and who you're
playing with. If only the cheated had read Steve's book. |
