Part II: Table Game Cheating · Dice & Craps Cheating Methods
Basic Past Posting (Late Bet Placement)
How it works
One of the most common forms of cheating at craps. The cheater places a bet on the table AFTER the dice have already come to rest and the outcome is known. The cheater typically creates a distraction - asking the dealer for change right as the dice are rolled, knocking chips over “accidentally,” or waiting for the dealer to look away. As the dice come to a stop, the cheater places chips on the winning spot. The technique exploits the fast-paced nature of craps where multiple things happen simultaneously. Higher denomination moves are made during busy times to blend in.
