In Reply to: Scams in Bali posted by aussie on Tuesday, 29. November 2011 at 20:26 Bali Time:
where tourists involve themselves in card games with locals.
The tourist backs on another players hand, having already seen the opposing players hand and knowing that the one they are backing must win.
This is of course cheating.
To date, not too many tourists have managed to rip any locals off however.
At last count it was Locals 5 - Tourists 0.
Avoid any games of chance, including Old Maid, Blackjack, Snap or Chase the Ace.
In any case gambling in Indonesia is illegal, so do not encourage the locals to break the law in this way.
