Op-ed From Michael Kaplan: Gamblers All Too Willing To Be Suckered
Briefly

The article discusses the transformation of gambling in the U.S., with legal casinos now prevalent compared to past illegal venues. Despite this, some affluent individuals, like boxing champion Adrien Broner, still engage in illicit gambling practices. Broner allegedly hosted a rigged dice game, cheating players out of significant sums. The piece questions the motivations behind such actions and emphasizes that legitimate casinos are less likely to cheat due to the high stakes involved with licensing. Florida's limited legal gambling options further contribute to the allure of underground gambling.
This is the sort of thing in which nobody looks good. Why is a champion boxer putting on a crooked dice game with so-called 'teased' dice - 'loaded' is the more commonly used jargon? And what brings him to take advantage of stars?
I've got three letters for that one: ? Unless you're the wild gambler Mikki Mase - I'm doing a story on him that you'll be able to read soon - who claims to have devised a way for beating baccarat by figuring out how the Vegas casinos are cheating at it.
Pricy casino licenses are on the line and you can have reasonable faith that the only hustle is the game's odds hopelessly stacked against you.
In Florida, where legal casinos are in short supply, with only 15 up and running, the illegitimate gambling scene still holds appeal for some.
