Domestic Tourists Bet In Three Cup Game

Domestic tourists betting on the three cup game, which is a well known scam or con trick involving two or more people on 11th August 2021 in London, United Kingdom. Three-card Monte also known as Find the Lady or the Three-card Trick is a confidence game in which the victim, or mark, is tricked into betting a sum of money, on the assumption that they can find the ball underneath one of the cups. In its full form, Three-card Monte is an example of a classic short con in which a shill pretends to conspire with the mark to cheat the dealer, while in fact conspiring with the dealer to cheat the mark. This confidence trick was already in use by the turn of the 15th century.
