Handheld Blackjack Bet Pressing and Pinching
Are the arts of bet pressing and pinching with the camouflage of cards at blackjack still alive? Yes they are, and as there are still tons of handheld blackjack games available in the United States, the skilled cheaters using this method to beat casinos are still quite successful.

I'm talking about the talented cheats who can do this without the distraction and by himself.
