According to the Double George online casino company, more money is stolen in private poker games by so-called friends than is ever stolen in a casino. Now a new 90-minute DVD from the company teaches fans of traditional and online casino poker the way in which poker scams work, and how to foil the cheats. ‘Cheating at Hold’Em’ teaches online casino poker players how to properly cut, shuffle, and deal the cards in a live game, along with some of the more common cheating techniques such as peeking and flashing.
The poker DVD specifically targets online casino poker fans in need of a sound knowledge of live poker before wagering in live environments. For this purpose, the DVD illustrates and explains how recreational, semi-professional and professional poker players can take simple counter measures to protect themselves from being scammed by card cheats – a rare and almost non-existent concern for poker fans only familiar with online casino poker. Each step of the scam is revealed on the DVD, then discussed and illustrated in detail. This enables players accustomed to playing online casino poker to spot and prevent cheating in the live environment. Protection and Detection Tips are also discussed for each section, showing methods of dissuading players from cheating.
CEO of Double George, David Malek, is no stranger to the world of online casino poker. Malek is considered an expert on game protection and conducts presentations for online casino groups, law enforcement agencies, and casino personnel. He also works as a gambling consultant for film and television productions, as well as facilitating gambling demonstrations at trade shows for several Fortune 500 companies.
