第一个骗局，是作为“退卡地点”一队的玩家找到一个赌场，利用“带状蔓延”洗牌卡的位置来作假。如果他们能够偷偷退卡，并让倒计数的总数由荷官删除，以方便带状蔓延的卡插入，他们可以估算一个已知卡对脱壳的年底再现，虽然这是一个“一次性”的玩法，并在一个半小时之前使预测卡再次出现，为他提供优势的玩家（美联社）获取约10％的平均收益。会不会着呢的有这种事发生？还是仅是谣言？其实，这种技术已被一些AP的团队在过去的20年使用，大多是在拉斯维加斯使用，但在世界上的任何赌场可以使用色带传播技术。

　　第二个骗局，更加危险，其根源在远东百家乐游戏。这项技术被认为是一个严重作弊的举动，并需要一个骗子团队和一个微型摄像机。类似的“假洗牌”的骗局就是这样，骗子要争取到荷官的帮助。荷官的工作将是“松散”当玩家提出削减赌桌上的牌时。然而，不像假洗牌诈骗，这样的诈骗在于甲板切割过程本身。

　　做“腰斩”时，骗子会拖赌桌上的物质或他的手指的尖端，与显示卡序列信息，监视卡“指数角落指出的意图跨越卡的上角。这个信息被记录，通常情况下刀具的衬衫袖子或外套都设有微型摄像头。为了推动这一举动，骗子可能（或可能不会）采用更坚硬的物质，像一块厚的塑料，或较轻的塑料剪卡背后隐藏的“冰棒”等等。骗子阴谋在荷官松散的举动中得逞，这还需要施加压力，使玩卡角落掩盖视频卡的序列。

　　作弊者将信息传送到离地面的一台计算机，审查视频片段，并记录百家乐记分卡或“备忘单”上的牌。记录卡值再传递回到赌桌前，并用来识别记录，并运用到后来的已知序列。如果作弊者知道结果，它会损害到赌场。在大多数情况下，使用这种技术将使他们知道3至6张的结果。

　　据报道，在拉斯维加斯所涉及的玩家中有一个复杂的骗子集团，远东称为“刀具”。据称该集团已在中国遭到殴打，他们在马来西亚和澳大利亚赌场骗取几百万美元。这可能是北美臭名昭著的陈德良刚的假洗牌案以来最大的作弊团队。

　　译文

　　The first scam is considered an advantage play known as “back card location”。 A team of players locate a casino that utilizes the “ribbon spread” for shuffle card placement. If they can spy the back card, and count down the total number of cards removed by the dealer to facilitate the ribbon spread, they can estimate the reappearance of a known card towards the end of the shoe. Although this is a “one time” play, and takes up to an hour and a half before the predicted card reappears, it offers the advantage players （AP’s） an average gain of approximately 10%. Sound like a new advantage play to you? Think again. Rumor has it that this technique has been used by a number of AP teams for the last 20 years, mostly in Las Vegas, but could have been used in any casino in the world using the ribbon spread technique.

　　The second scam is much more dangerous, and has its roots in the Far East baccarat games. This technique is considered a serious cheating move, and requires a team of cheaters and a miniature video camera. Similar to the “false shuffle” scam, the cheaters need to enlist the help of a dealer.  The dealer’s job will be to “loosely” hold the cards presented when the player cuts the deck. However, unlike the false shuffle scam, the card information is not gained during the previous play of the hands, but during the deck cutting process itself.

　　When doing the “cut”， a cheater will drag the either a substance or the tip of his finger across the upper corners of the cards in the deck with the intention of revealing the card sequencing information noted on the spied cards’ index corner. This information is recorded by the miniature camera usually secured under the cutter’s shirt sleeve or jacket.  To help facilitate this move, the cheater may （or may  not） employ a more rigid substance, like a thick piece of plastic, or a “popsicle” stick, hidden behind the lighter plastic cut card.  With the deck held loosely by the conspiring dealer, the cheater needs to apply pressure to the playing card corners in order to video the card sequence.

　　Once a section （20 to 40 cards） of the eight decks has been videoed, the cheaters will transfer this information to a computer off the floor, review the video segment, and record the cards on baccarat score card or “cheat sheet”。  The recorded card values are transfer back to the table, and used to identify the recorded slug, and play into the subsequently known sequence.  If the cheaters know the outcome of one hand, it would be damaging to the casino.  In most cases, using this technique would give them the outcome of between 3 to 6 hands, or more depending how aggressive the cheaters were with dragging the index corners.

　　It’s reported that the players involved with the Las Vegas caper are a group of sophisticated cheaters out of the Far East known as “The Cutters”。  This group has allegedly beaten a number of casinos in China, Malaysia, and Australia out of several million in US dollar equivalent.  This could be the biggest cheating team to hit North American since the infamous Tran Gang’s false shuffle scheme.
