> To get the most out of beards, sharps engage in “priming”, a digital version of the old pool-hall hustle. This involves intentionally making large losing bets to get an account’s limits raised, and then earning the losses back and more before the books realise they’ve been had. “They want to prey on degenerates and irresponsible gamblers,” says Chris Dierkes, a veteran sharp. “So you want to dress yourself as the most degenerate, irresponsible gambler out there.”
Honestly? Fucking amazing. Please for the love of god do not regulate this, and let the bookies and sharps duke it out.
