I'm with you, I only play at casinos for quite a few reasons. Besides robbery there are way too many ways the private places can run cheats or collude together, I seen it myself at the one small stakes private game I played at (for fun) with people I'd played a bunch at the casino and taken stacks from ;but at their private game they never lost a hand and made zero mistakes. When I got home with the feeling in my gut that something wasn't right I looked up RFID cards and the first search result showed the exact POS cards they were using and I even asked them why they weren't using casino decks to which they replied the cheap cards were all they could get even though they run a regular game.....
If I'm playing a home game for money, it's only like $20/$40 for fun. I've been to games with people cheating and I imagine it only happens more, and in more sophisticated ways when playing for actual big money

Most of it is really quite kosher, safe places raking an honest con from rich businessmen with nowhere else to play. It's the rooms where crime money changes hands where violence is an issue.
@benjaminadler2001 Yes I played in the nicer Manhattan spots in the early 2000s. The games were legit always got paid out. The cops did a city wide sweep one night and shut down all the rooms. That sucked but no charges just lost the money I had on the table.
“Most of these guys would rather lose alot then make a little” this is so true, everytime I would start out with small bets win a bit of money and absolutely not care about a few thousand because it felt like nothing and then I would lose it all not really care but deposit more and more until it spiraled out of control
It's all about the money. Same thing with drugs. By making it illegal, it just makes it more dangerous for the addict. You would have thought we would learn something from the Volstead Act.

No bullshit… I went to an after hours uptown and they had a table with a game going, a craps table, 2 slot machines, and a fully stocked bar and bartender… lol 😂 I am so fucking serious… I went there at like 5am to meet up with someone for a different but also illegal thing and ended up staying till like 7am and learning about a game going on on a block I’ve walked down a bunch of times before and had no idea about 😮
The most money I ever lost at one time was just north of $12k. I lost it all in one night online playing blackjack and roulette. The next day I called them and had my 14 year old brother get on the phone and say he was using my account and thought it was play money. They refunded every penny back and then banned my account. 20 years later and I still can’t believe I got away with that.
@@jacobpotter2237 plus they make the games seem so “shady” but in reality it’s just a bunch of people who know eachother from playing in other rooms/charity rooms/ and casinos 😂
Someone help me understand. Why would you gamble in a drug den where you can be easily robbed when many states have casinos with luxury experiences and no threat of death?
the odds of robbery actually pretty low. "drug den" is kind of bad description too. yes there are drugs there of course there are drugs everywhere. you make it sound like people snorting lines off the table or something.
I can’t imagine being addicted to that lifestyle. I guess it’s hard for me to imagine how I could be addicted to gambling. Even if I won big I’d think I got lucky and be done that day and for good.
Its really easy to look externally, but gambling preys on how your brain processes rewards. The brain is conditioned to chase highs and shrug off losses.
is he? they make it sound like these friends have no idea what they getting into. if they are going to this game they have played poker before. they make it sound like the guys friend don't even know the rules.

When you have nothing to live for, you have nothing to die for. that’s why if you want to survive in this world, you have to profile. On the streets, in your business, at your job, at the tables, profile profile profile.
I play poker as a side income, have been winning for 12 years. It's gambling. You can be gambling with an advantage, but it's still gambling. Can i take from your assessment, that, in such a situation, where there is a coin that has a 51% chance to land on heads, that betting on it landing on heads would not be gambling? Because it definitely is, it's just gambling with advantage. That's all a good poker player is doing, albeit a more active process maintaining an advantage. Something a recreational player just isn't capable of usually, because they tend to be competing with players who are playing as a way of earning money, not just for fun occasionally, or during a time where they need to make some quick cash. So for most players, it's full blown gambling, this includes players who will eventually be good, but have only just started, so they're not very good at it yet (most people think this is them, but in reality, it's shockingly few people that ever get any good, the game is ludicrously complex). For the few players who win, it's gambling with an advantage. Definitely gambling though.
@@TimeHandler Gambling (also known as betting or gaming) is the wagering of something of value ("the stakes") on a random event with the intent of winning something else of value, where instances of strategy are discounted. Players who know what they are doing use a strategy that enables them to win in the long run. But yeah, the outcome on the short term is still partly random.
3:19 in the state with the strictest gun laws, these guys go in robbing games; criminals have guns and the state made sure they had a safe robbery for themselves because their victims are unarmed.
Ive always said to myself that if I knew who the person was in a ski mask I could easily tell it’s them. Mask is almost pointless. For their line of work i would never appear on anybodies camera!
i thought the exact same. heaps of people will know who that is. if the cops know about the "shooting" if it happened.... and have other evidence.. this would seal it.
I've gambled for a long time, and I can honestly say gambling addiction is the most fucked up thing I've ever seen. Worse than heroin, all that. Because they never win. They never even get the high they're looking for. Whenever I'm at a table with a guy who is clearly addicted, I just get up and leave. I don't want to take their money man. I've traded stocks for 10+ years, the last 3 semi professionally, and I've seen so many people lose their life savings in less than a day. Gambling for real isn't for everyone. If your ego is too big, if you're a person who is used to imposing your will on other games, it's not for you. It's something that shows you your irrelevance in the universe. It's cold, it doesn't care that you exist, or if you die homeless. As cold as the universe itself. Ironically, it can humble you more than almost anything on earth. But only if you're ready to recieve that lesson. Otherwise, it will swallow you whole.

No bullshit… I went to an after hours uptown and they had a table with a game going, a craps table, 2 slot machines, and a fully stocked bar and bartender… lol 😂 I am so fucking serious… I went there at like 5am to meet up with someone for a different but also illegal thing and ended up staying till like 7am and learning about a game going on on a block I’ve walked down a bunch of times before and had no idea about 😮
A little coca cola...
The most money I ever lost at one time was just north of $12k. I lost it all in one night online playing blackjack and roulette. The next day I called them and had my 14 year old brother get on the phone and say he was using my account and thought it was play money. They refunded every penny back and then banned my account. 20 years later and I still can’t believe I got away with that.
U didn’t lmao,they banned you lol for a reason
@@guielescobar2269 who cares about being banned on an online casino if that means you get you’re 12k that u lost back? That’s a dumb thought bro lol
Talk abt being lucky!
Having Aaron Finch at 4ra events brings a spark of trust and high-caliber sportsmanship
I couldn’t imagine robbing a game, the underground games I go to are smaller (10-20k on the table) and everyone’s packing.
Same. He wouldn’t make it through the door.
@@jacobpotter2237 plus they make the games seem so “shady” but in reality it’s just a bunch of people who know eachother from playing in other rooms/charity rooms/ and casinos 😂
Someone help me understand. Why would you gamble in a drug den where you can be easily robbed when many states have casinos with luxury experiences and no threat of death?
honestly i dont know some niggas just like playing with life
or maybe they just wanna steal cash?
the odds of robbery actually pretty low. "drug den" is kind of bad description too. yes there are drugs there of course there are drugs everywhere. you make it sound like people snorting lines off the table or something.
If you walk in to a poker game, and you don’t know who the sucker is… you’re the sucker 😅. Not everyone in that room got robbed
you're a sucker
Money ain’t got any owners, just spenders!
I can’t imagine being addicted to that lifestyle. I guess it’s hard for me to imagine how I could be addicted to gambling. Even if I won big I’d think I got lucky and be done that day and for good.
Its really easy to look externally, but gambling preys on how your brain processes rewards. The brain is conditioned to chase highs and shrug off losses.
Dude at the start who called up to reserve a seat, sold his friend out for a $100 is ruthless
is he? they make it sound like these friends have no idea what they getting into. if they are going to this game they have played poker before. they make it sound like the guys friend don't even know the rules.
We need more of this type of videos. Real life.
The fact that we get free videos from VICE TV on UA-cam is priceless, keeping the education and knowledge alive. 🙏🙏🙏
5:20 👈🏼😂 This clown is capping !! Yes, you robbed a dice game with no mask so why are you wearing the mask now…I’m 100% sure that you wouldn’t have been breathing right now.
The robber with the mask is gonna get it. Easy to see who he is.
Rat of a human being.
Na he safe cuz he made up every bit of that. Didn't believe a word he said😂
Was a dealer at the original “PlayStation” in Manahatten, I was also a dealer at the “ River” in Hicksville LI
Love how Omar Little interviewing some fellow stick up artists lol... RIP Michael K Williams, truly one of a kind!
*RIP* Michael K Williams, dude always seemed genuine and authentic ❤ I hate to say, I miss his presence in movies 🍿 the last one I seen him in was *BROOKLYNS FINEST* 😮
Easy rob me for nothing. My games, the guys wire me everything.. you get wired the cash back when u cash out. Nothing happens
Must be low stakes cause after amounts over 10k you gonna have the IRS knocking
probably the dumbest best idea i ever heard
@@Funk1880 lol, no.
I make 150+ wires a year, bud...nobody comes knocking, nobody asks why.
@@Funk1880 just depends who wants to play. I’m not a whale, but I host anywhere from 5/10 to my biggest game 100/200.. that was only 5 players tho lol too big
Interesting, but that leaves a paper trail and could lead to your bank flagging you?
That’s a great idea! Betting is always more fun with friends around, and those bonuses for referring them seem pretty generous.
These game’s security guards are gonna have some explaining to do.
Yeah that dude just got someone or a few people put in the ground.
Where can I find full video
When you have nothing to live for, you have nothing to die for.
that’s why if you want to survive in this world, you have to profile. On the streets, in your business, at your job, at the tables, profile profile profile.
did you's just take a sopranos storyline and turn it into a documentary ? 😂
"No mask means you're gonna get shot". The skinny robber was the smart one of the two.
He cappin. Not gonna snitch hiself out that easy in front of the camera
@@Jaywesnutz say it to his face.
Haan yaar 4RA ke welcome bonus ne toh pehli baar me hi maza de diya tha, bohot badiya
Omar once robbed a gambling spot in the exact way the dude described he was hit 😅
4ra ke events bohot entertaining hote hain, friend ki recommendation bilkul sahi thi
They definitely robbed his shi soon as the video ended 😂

If you see poker as gambling then it simply isn't your game
exactly what i thought
I play poker as a side income, have been winning for 12 years. It's gambling. You can be gambling with an advantage, but it's still gambling.
Can i take from your assessment, that, in such a situation, where there is a coin that has a 51% chance to land on heads, that betting on it landing on heads would not be gambling? Because it definitely is, it's just gambling with advantage. That's all a good poker player is doing, albeit a more active process maintaining an advantage. Something a recreational player just isn't capable of usually, because they tend to be competing with players who are playing as a way of earning money, not just for fun occasionally, or during a time where they need to make some quick cash. So for most players, it's full blown gambling, this includes players who will eventually be good, but have only just started, so they're not very good at it yet (most people think this is them, but in reality, it's shockingly few people that ever get any good, the game is ludicrously complex). For the few players who win, it's gambling with an advantage.
Definitely gambling though.

Gambling (also known as betting or gaming) is the wagering of something of value ("the stakes") on a random event with the intent of winning something else of value, where instances of strategy are discounted.
Players who know what they are doing use a strategy that enables them to win in the long run. But yeah, the outcome on the short term is still partly random.
My man at the beginning was sweating like crazy!!! Them uppers hittin
Robbing all that money and wearing Spizike Jordans😂😂
What about the mah jong parlors in Chinatown?
3:19 in the state with the strictest gun laws, these guys go in robbing games; criminals have guns and the state made sure they had a safe robbery for themselves because their victims are unarmed.
It's an illegal poker game hahaha. "Victims" hahahahaha
Gotta love Michael K Williams interviewing real stick up men! Rest in peace 🙏
Ive always said to myself that if I knew who the person was in a ski mask I could easily tell it’s them. Mask is almost pointless. For their line of work i would never appear on anybodies camera!
i thought the exact same. heaps of people will know who that is. if the cops know about the "shooting" if it happened.... and have other evidence.. this would seal it.
It's hard to believe they are telling the truth. Pretty dumb if they are talking facts.
I've gambled for a long time, and I can honestly say gambling addiction is the most fucked up thing I've ever seen. Worse than heroin, all that. Because they never win. They never even get the high they're looking for. Whenever I'm at a table with a guy who is clearly addicted, I just get up and leave. I don't want to take their money man.
I've traded stocks for 10+ years, the last 3 semi professionally, and I've seen so many people lose their life savings in less than a day.
Gambling for real isn't for everyone. If your ego is too big, if you're a person who is used to imposing your will on other games, it's not for you. It's something that shows you your irrelevance in the universe. It's cold, it doesn't care that you exist, or if you die homeless. As cold as the universe itself. Ironically, it can humble you more than almost anything on earth. But only if you're ready to recieve that lesson. Otherwise, it will swallow you whole.
