The mark has no chance whatsoever of winning, at any point in the game. In fact, anyone who is observed winning anything in the game can be presumed to be a shill. • When a mark enters the game, they may be had by a number of techniques. A common belief is that the operator may let the mark win a couple of bets to suck them in, but this is virtually never true. In a true Monte scam, the mark will never win a single bet, as it is not necessary. There are too many ways for a well-run mob to attract the marks, suck them in, and convince them to put money down. • Three-card Monte was seen regularly in the Times Square area pre-Disney, and it’s use as the theme for the Times Square Show Poster by artists Jane Dickson @janeinpeepland and Charlie Ahearn @twincharlie is not only a stroke of genius, but probably is the best way to describe what actually transpired with this magical 1980 exhibition. This is hands down my favorite event advertisement ever concocted. •」7月7日 23時28分
