It looks like one of those XL t-shirts from Big C or Tesco that look fine on the hanger in the store then when you try it on at home you realize there only made for Thai`s, either that or he`s off to the bowling alley and forgot the bag for his ball.

12DrinkMore Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I wonder how prevalent it is? We probably never get to hear about 99% of the scams because gambling is illegal, so who are you going to complain to? And nobody likes to admit to friends that they have been stupid.

Suradit69 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) 4 hours ago, Pattaya28 said: Card "Sharps" In the UK they're called Card "Sharks". If you look out the nearest window you may notice this isn't the UK. Quote Card shark vs. card sharp Card sharp is preferred in British English, while card shark is more common in American, Canadian, and Australian English. They share their main definitions—namely, (1) a professional card player, (2) a person who is skilled in card games, and (3) a person who is skilled in cheating at card games. The British card sharp more often implies cheating. Card shark, especially in American English,is often simply a term for someone who spends a lot of time playing cards Quote As to whether card sharp or card shark entered the English language first, the answer is far from straightforward. A print sighting of card sharp dates to 1884 and one of card sharper to 1859, while the first print sighting of card shark takes us back only to 1942 — evidence which would seem to settle matters. However, both sharper and shark (in the sense of one who cheats) antedate all of the above, sharper to 1681 and shark to 1599, evidence which could be seen as giving the nod to shark. (By the way, the "shark" in question has nothing to do with carnivorous fish; it instead likely entered the English language via the German schurke, a word that in the 16th century had the meaning of a cheat or swindler.)

My father has always used the term "card sharp" and he is from the UK. More a term of the older generation. He was born in 1930. "Card shark" is used by the younger generation in North America. Both are acceptable, "card shark" much more commonly in use. Just to be clear my father always spoke the Kings English. I never heard him swear ever.

Get Real Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Like already stated 7 people and 5 million Bath. 700000 a person! What I really don´t understand is why people go to Thailand for play cards and get conned. It would be much easier to go somewhere else where it is allowed. On the other hand, how can you get conned out of 700000? That and go with people that you don´t know for a game of cards. Totally stupid and they really deserve loosing their money. No feelings for them from here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not catholic. I just said I was to act sanctimonious and shut them up from asking. They often preached the virtues of believing, so I stuck it back to them. The winding them up was just a bonus and a lesson not to be a hypocrite. Basically, you can't bulls*** a bulls*****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
