Ten Things About Cheaters-- Part 2: One-Armed Bandits and Crossbiting

3.  In the 1980s and 1990s, TOMMY GLENN CARMICHAEL feasted on slot machines.  His ingenious inventions--  the "kickstand," "monkey paw" and "light wand" -- cheated the one-armed bandits with ease.  At his peak, he played every day, crisscrossing the country and raking in thousands of dollars daily.

But, he dutifully paid his taxes, which is why, after he was caught and sentenced in 2001, he got time served and probation.

Well, at least someone beats them.  They've sure taken enough of my money.

4.  To 'CROSSBITE" is an old British term for cheating, especially pulling a fast one on someone who is trying to pull a fast one on you.

Remember, pay Your taxes.  --Cooter
