Default Re: Pennsylvania game robbed

My first thought is inside job.

This is one of the reasons why I generally pass on invites to underground games. Another is how easy it would be to have 4-5 guys collude with the host (chip dumping, mark cards, going North with additional chips, etc...) and agree to split any "winnings" at the end of the night. Big turnouts and/or big buyins can lead to big fraud/scam.

And even if the host/game is on the up and up, if too many people know about the game then it's still too much of a risk.
