Insider Mikki Mase has shed light on an underground poker cheating scheme allegedly involving former NBA star Chauncey Billups, who is accused of hosting rigged games backed by the Mafia. According to Mase, Billups likely wasn’t an active player but a host used to add credibility to these underground games. The cheating involved advanced technology, including special glasses that allowed players to read markings on the backs of cards, such as blacklight imprints invisible to most. Mase explained how dealers or insiders might introduce marked decks, enabling players wearing these glasses to identify cards covertly. This method, paired with complex ink-marking techniques on fingers, helped cheaters gain an edge during play.
