SOME VICTIMS WIN WHERE
THEY ARE DUE TO LOSE

Sc a GOOD many people seem to
~ think" said the gray-haired,
young looking man IN the club smok-
ing room, that If man goes up
against a crooked gambling game and
plays his money in he is necessarily
going to lose it.; but 1t isn't so.
"One very easy way of winning
against brace game of faro occurred
to me when I was young fellow in
Chicago. had been playing faro more
than was good for me for quite a
while, and was fairly infatuated with
the game before l went to Chicago.
IT had learned something about it,
too, and it didn't take me long to- make
up my mind that there wasn't single
gambling house among all those that
/ came to know in which I could ex-
pect a square deal if I played faro
there.
1T was strange that 1 should have
played at all, holding that opinion;
but I was young and 1 was infatuated
with the game. was foolish enough
to think l might have luck or that
some miracle would happen, and rather
than not play 1 used to go around once
In while and blow in a few dollars.
"One night I wanted $50 very badly
and all had was So The foolish, IA
miliar old thought came to me that

at made me nervous. for / was sure
Bill was going to raise again, which
he did. that Strong was going back at
him with hundred more, which ne
did also. What l was not expecting
was to see Doc pull out his wallet
and count out $1,000 Putting that in
the pot, he said: raise you tnou-
sand
WThen it was Bills turn to study,
and he did it for long time, but
finally he raised 1t a thousand. He
must have thought that Doc had made
a. full drawing to his two pairs, and
counted on his four Fights being GOOD.
Strong lay down, so never knew
what he held, but 1 always believed
he was playing on signal from Bill.
If he was, he had done his part we'll
"Then Doc called. He told me aft
erward that when he caught the
fourth lack on his draw he recog-
nized the fact that 1t was an accident,
as the dealer could not expect MIN TO
split a full, and that he was taxing
chances on Bills having taken TOUR
smaller cards than jacks. He was
morally certain there We're fours
against him, but there would be only
three hands to beat his as against
nine smaller hands. AS 1t was,
knowing or believing he knew that the
deal was crooked, he felt that he play
ed far enough.
at doesn't always follow that when
two men are playing and one is honest
and the other a crook, the crook will
always get the money Nevertheless
I am bound to admit that an outsider
who may be looking on at such
game will do better, as a general thing,
to bet on the crook.

the ten was of no use, and that was
followed by the equally foolish notion
that I might by some stroke of luck
win it off the bank
cat all events, I made 1t an excuse
to play, and went to a joint where I
had played before and bought a stack
of chips.
Before I began to play I noticed
that a big fellow whom I hadn't seen
before was playing with yellow chips,
each one of which was worth $40. and
that he was betting five or ten of them
at once on the same card, never maxi
ing more than the one bet on turn,
but betting fifty or a hundred each
time. AS sat waiting for new deal
I had a sudden thought.
1t was not my habit to begin in the
middle of a deal, so no one paid any
attention to my sitting idle, especially
as there was plenty of room at the
table, only four or five players being
there Then they had me sized up for
piker and they didn't notice me
much, anyhow.
On the Pike Method.
my thought was that the big man,
being a wide-open player with plenty
of money, was going to lose 1T all, If
there was skill enough across the table
to make the cards run against him,

to see what the others would do be-
fore disclosing his own strength, Dut
when he saw the double raise he felt
that his jack full was no good.
"Still. he did not raise again, after
Strong had seen Bills fifty and made
If fifty more to play. He studied
again, and finally put up his hundred.
He told me he had made up his MIND
to get as much excitement out of that
hand as he could, and he would have
STAYED If there had been half dozen
more raises.
Gas it was, there were no more be-
fore the draw. Bill, for some reason
or another, perhaps to give Doc more
confidence, simply made good on
Strong's second raise, and picked UP
the. deck to serve the draw.
"Strong said he reckoned he didn't
need any, and Doc took one card. Hav-
ing my suspicious, was looking at the
dealer. and 1 was satisfied that he was
surprised.
"If he had dealt crooked, as be-
lieye he had, he must, of course, have
thought that he had made mistake,
and the only thing he could think
when Doc called for one was that he
had given him two pairs, missing the
third jack in some way. However, he
could not do anything else but give
him the one. Then he took two him.
