Henry Classon is One of the Most Famous Game Cheaters

An early start

Henry Classon was born in 1925 and was an avid gambler and cheater right from his teens. Under the guidance of his uncle, Henry perfected his skills at poker. Later he used to participate in many small craps and poker games where he could apply his casino cheating methods and win the money from older gamblers. Henry was also fond of betting on race tracks.

The fatal meeting

In 1954, on one of his trips to the race track, he managed to meet Mumbles. Mumbles was known as a father of pastposting and one of the most noted cheaters of his times. It was the chance that changed his life along with his brother's. From that point on he often met Mumbles at the race track and then later formed a team with Mumbles for pastposting, a technique that he had come upon in Puerto Rico and had mastered over the years. Later, they travelled to the casinos in Puerto Rico together where Mumbles trained him on the technique. They formed a two person team of their own where Mumbles was the mechanic who would switch the chips and Henry was the claimer who would gather all the chips and then claim that the dealer had paid him wrong.

Rich experience

They gained success instantly and while they went on with craps and roulette cheating , this very soon was spread on various different games like blackjack which proved to be one of the most rewarding. They continued their scam for around a year till the time Mumbles died. In the same year, his brother Joe Classon returned from Korea where he was serving the country.

Along with Joe, Henry formed his own team and they continued to use the same method to cheat all the casinos in Las Vegas, Cuba and in Puerto Rico till 1969 when they decided to part ways and form their own teams. Henry Classon is known to be the second best pastposting cheater, who learned his trick from the originator of the trick, Mumbles. He added several different alterations and moves to Mumbles technique and perfected his original move at the same time.

Henry was feared by casinos in all of these places where he had successfully managed to cheat the casinos on thousands of dollars without anyone suspecting. During the years that he run and managed various pastposting teams, he had managed to put aside a large fortune for himself.
