    I seen this one day knew what was happening pretended I didn’t know how it works spoke to one of the “players” I knew he was involved told him I was going to bet 200€ but was going to do a €20 bet first in case it was a scam must have signalled him to let me win. I picked the right one and he gave me 40€ back then I walked away laughing 3 of them chasing me saying I can’t just bet once and wanted the money back they had no chance easy way to con the con 😂

      I call bullshit because soon as you hand the money over they ain’t giving it you back, they are wise to every trick in the book. When you bet the £20 they will say you win, you only have to bet £160 now. They have you snookered from every angle and every direction.

      Did a similar thing. Pretended to be pissed, got out a handful of cash but only placed a 5€ bet. Won and walked away and all the ‘players’ tried to force me to bet again 😂

    Was there in June 2018. very well organized scam, 6 or 7 players all in it. watched how they exchange cash between each other before betting. they are most common at the market which is on a Sunday and Wednesday. Reason they use cardboard box stand and half potatoes is to easily leave it when Police come. Watch the faces and then see them the next day in the crowd, stay safe

    Es un timo típico , algunos que están ahí van con el del juego y se llaman ganchos se hacen pasar por gente normal y apuestan para que se animen los otros y luego cuando un pardillo cae en la trampa le sacan la pasta nunca acertarás si él no quiere que aciertes.

    I watched it being done in New York City. 3 card monte. A guy kept betting 20 dollars each time and every time picked the right card, someone in the crowd distracted him and the dealer moved the cards. His girlfriend had to literally drag him away.

    If they've nothing to hide and the game is fair, honest and not a scam then they shouldn't have any problem being filmed. But then they do because its an illegal scam!
