Pat Malley, One of the Famous Casino Cheaters

Mumbles`s successor

Pat Mallery was born in 1955 on the day when Mumbles , the inventor of pastposting died. Pat Mallery was an Irish man and in his teen years he had known for burgling every house in his small village. He used to keep a mask and a fake pistol with him all the time during his burgling adventures.

He often played craps and poker with other boys and men in the village and learnt to mark cards and cheat with dices. Pat Mallery had even managed to fool and cheat the police in his village.

Late and successful start

However, he did not get involved in casino cheating scams till he was around forty. He was introduced to Andy Abromowitz, who in turn introduced him to Richard Marcus in 1994. At that time, Richard was looking for a partner to form a postpasting team for casino cheating . Richard had an experience of around twelve years of casino cheating using the pastposting technique while Pat Mallery had no experience at all.

A team

Richard then formed a team with Pat and taught him all the moves of the technique. He taught him about pastposting in blackjack, roulette, craps and various other games. They decided to form a mechanic and claimer form of team to try their luck in casinos. In the initial weeks, Pat Mallery had been unsuccessful in the cheating scams and had managed to mess up quite a lot of the moves at the casinos. However, later he mastered the skills and became a very well known cheater in his time. He was the first ever cheater in the history of casinos who had managed to pastpost a $5,000 chip in 1994 in the Caesars Palace. During the course of just one summer Pat Mallery had managed to make more than $800,000 at just one casino using this new found Savannah technique.

In 1994 and 1995 he used this technique in all the casinos in Las Vegas. Along with Richard, Pat Mallery invented the famous Savannah pinching move which is known to be one of the greatest cheating techniques in the world. Till 2000, Pat Mallery retired along with Richard Marcus at the end of his highly successful cheating career.
