Brent Eli Morris can hardly be considered a lucky sharpie because he was more than ten times caught literally by the hand and put on trial. Yet, for twenty years, he drove mad numerous casinos' security teams in the United States. Few cheaters managed to crank out as many successful frauds as Morris.
Biography of Brent Eli Morris
Brent was born in September 1956. It's hard to say when he started unscrupulous operations in the casino, but it is known that in the early eighties of the twentieth century, he was great in this craft.
However, problems with the law started in the seventies when he was caught for the fight, theft, and other offenses.
Past Post Betting at Craps
Morris specialized in "past post betting," meaning he added chips to winning bets at craps. He was not greedy and always used chips of the same value, which seemed more natural. He preferred the Pass Line and Don't Pass Line bets.
It was for the dealer to get distracted for a moment, as Brent increased the bet with a quick and almost invisible movement. He could throw chips from a height of several centimeters so they stay precisely on the stack and do not fall on the table.
No less successfully, Morris increased and decreased rates at odds. Although he often put the chips on the fields only to divert attention from larger bets on the Pass Line.
Gifted Cheater
Regular Casinoz readers know about "wrong" craps players. They are customers who prefer to put on Don't Pass or against the shooter. It is no secret that such visitors are not welcomed by other players who like to act along with the shooter.
Morris willingly took the role of an outcast at the table and took place away from the crowds. It is easy to guess why he put himself in an awkward position.
- Of course, thus, he attracted the attention of other customers, but they were busier with their problems and did not interfere with him.
- But the dealer was forced to turn away from Brent to serve players, so he could not keep up with his cheating.
Morris also stole chips from careless customers, which was not difficult in the lively atmosphere at the table. Sometimes he managed to crank several tricks in one gaming round, so he quickly enriched.
Going to Jail
Brent was either very hardworking or incredibly greedy. Naturally, if you cheat every day, sooner or later, you get caught, no matter how genius you are. Morris was busted more than a dozen times. Since 1994, his name has been on the "blacklist" of the Nevada Gaming Commission.
At first, he got off with warnings and fines. However, in 2011, he was again arrested in the casino of Caesars Palace in Las Vegas when he was less fortunate. The judge considered his previous offenses, and Brent Eli Morris got a lengthy prison term.
