So, it was a great company consisting from Classon, his girlfriend and Swenson, which used the method of pastposting in Vegas. As a result, they gained one more promising member - Jerry Palmer.

The Inventor

In the 70-s Classon's team successfully used the pastposting way of cheating at roulette and craps. Palmer was first who suggested to try the same technique at blackjack. The team, however, didn't approve his idea as it was really venturesome to do the same things right in front of casino dealers, being in direct contact with them during the game.

The decision of other members didn't stop the young risky man, so he decided to do it by his own. Well, his had dangerous trick had an amazing success: all blackjack tables of the casino were tricked by him in that evening. That is how the blackjack pastposting became to bring the major cheaters' profits for many years.
