Another thing I stumbled over.

A 5 page article on gambling techniques and devices from the Nov. 1933 Popular Science Magazine.

Things I especially liked : A mention of "slick ace" decks, the 'natural' marked deck and a holdout that looks like some form of torture device.

A very interesting read.

Thanks a bunch for posting that link. I had never heard of a craps stick being used to cheat in a game of craps like that. Very inventive!!

The ads on the side of the page are the biggest scams in the magazine!
