Shadowing Practice: I Cheated Until the Casino Banned Me - Learn English Speaking with Video
Creating lesson...
1
This is me placing a $2,000 bet at the casino.
2
But what these people around me don't know is I secretly
3
have a professional gambler in my ear telling me exactly what to do.
4
Stand.
5
Stand.
6
Stand.
7
Stand.
8
Stand.
9
Oh my God!
10
Damn!
11
That's $4,000 right there!
12
I've hired the world's greatest gamblers to help me cheat at
13
the casino with one goal in mind use their ban methods
14
to turn ten thousand dollars into as much money as humanly possible.
15
Starting with our first game, Slots.
16
So how much do you think we should throw in right now?
17
Okay, so let's do five hundred.
18
Slots is simple.
19
If the symbols line up...
20
Oh my god!
21
You win.
22
Oh my god!
23
Alright, catch up bro.
24
Keep playing!
25
It's a game of complete luck, unless you're this guy.
26
Professor Slots.
27
He's won 100 jackpots and claims that he has the cheat code to turn a slot machine into an infinite money printer.
28
Oh ho ho ho ho ho ho ho.
29
His first method was concerningly simple.
30
A slot machine is chosen because it has a view of the open area where people are.
31
He's basically saying the casino wants you to see people winning, so if a machine is more visible, it's more likely to hit.
32
Oh my gosh.
33
Go away.
34
Woo!
35
But this is coming from the same guy who got banned from playing after winning too many jackpots.
36
Back.
37
Oh yeah! To back?
38
Big win.
39
Big win. To back.
40
What is that?
41
Whatever that is, it's 100 multiplied by 2.
42
Oh my gosh!
43
You asked, I delivered.
44
Let's cash out.
45
We were winning big, but not big enough because I walked into this casino with one simple goal in mind.
46
Used the same strategies that got these guys banned to double my money.
47
Something 98% of people can never accomplish.
48
Why does it keep saying win, but we're absolutely losing money?
49
Even though we started strong professor slots, Methods actually lost us money on our first game.
50
I don't wanna quit.
51
That was $500, bro.
52
But we won over a thousand.
53
Wait, what are you guys talking about?
54
We have 40 cents, where is it?
55
Wakey wakey, we have 40 cents left.
56
Guys!
57
We were down bad, but luckily I had a dangerous man nearby just waiting for his chance to make us rich.
58
This next guy that I'm about to introduce you is so dangerous, I had to put him in disguise to even get him inside this building.
59
Because we were gonna need him for our next game.
60
Crapz.
61
The iconic casino dice game with one rule.
62
Don't roll a seven.
63
That's right now for a normal person.
64
That's actually pretty hard to do
65
But luckily I pulled up with a human cheat code who has mastered a way to never roll a seven
66
Dominic Larigio is the eighth best gambler in history
67
and the casinos worst nightmare I'm banned in the whole state of Louisiana 75% the casinos in Las Vegas four
68
or five cruise lines He is so recognizable
69
that I actually had to disguise his face so that the pit bosses didn't notice.
70
How many times have you done this in your life?
71
Over 200,000 times.
72
No way.
73
Oh yeah.
74
It's like riding a bike to you.
75
It is.
76
Get up.
77
Hey, DZ!
78
Beautiful!
79
Oh my gosh.
80
Dom rolled 12 times in a row without seeing a seven, and no one at the table had any idea how he was doing it.
81
How are you calculating for the bounce off of the wall?
82
We calculate it by the height that we're throwing it at and where we're trying to land the dice.
83
Just trying to avoid the seven.
84
ADZ!
85
Another winner!
86
Just another winner!
87
So when you roll the dice, he does this thing where he puts both dice on the same number and then he, in the most calculated way possible, throws them.
88
You've rolled 20 times, you rolled zero sevens.
89
How often would that happen to a normal person?
90
Maybe 2% of the time.
91
We just kept rolling and rolling and rolling.
92
Pop it!
93
And after defying the laws of physics for another 15 rolls Kadeet!
94
Seven, out!
95
Alright I just watched you throw 35 times in a row
96
That's right Insane That's what I teach man We made 250 bucks Okay You still skeptical?
97
It was a crazy run How much are we out?
98
250 bucks Nah Yeah Nah Yeah I don't believe that After an absolute masterclass from Dom,
99
we were starving But while we were on our way to grab some food, that's when I saw it.
100
The roulette table.
101
The legendary casino game where choosing red or black can either double your money instantly, or send you home crashing out.
102
I knew it was only a matter of time before Doha and I would end up at that table.
103
And I was already fantasizing about which color I'd bet on.
104
I mean it's red.
105
I was about to say the same thing.
106
This is red too.
107
I'm seeing a whole lot of red.
108
Alright, listen bro, we gotta get back to the casino.
109
Should we just leave?
110
Nah, my next guy's gonna change the whole game.
111
As we head to the next game, I wanted to shout out In of the Mountain Gods for letting us film at their beautiful casino
112
and for somehow allowing us to try and cheat as much as I possibly could.
113
Especially...
114
Okay! At Blackjack.
115
The card game that could double our money in minutes.
116
So I called the most feared card gambler alive.
117
Mickey Mace.
118
What up, Arak?
119
There he is!
120
Mr. Nicky!
121
What?
122
Mickey's won over 32 million dollars gambling.
123
He's so good.
124
He's been banned from every single casino in Vegas.
125
So let me get this straight.
126
You expect me to guide you on how to beat the casino
127
while I'm all the way here at home in Los Angeles.
128
I mean, that's kind of the plan, yeah.
129
That's basically for- Alright, let's do it.
130
Wait, really?
131
Yeah, whatever.
132
You're my boy.
133
We sat down at our first table and even though I've never played blackjack in my life, the rules were pretty simple.
134
It's you versus the dealer and whoever's cards get closer to 21 wins.
135
You can stand to lock your cards or hit, adding another card to get even closer to 21.
136
But if you go over 21, you lose.
137
Now, it was time for me to lock in and make some money.
138
Okay, what should we do here?
139
What are we thinking?
140
Uh, okay, I'm...
141
I might just bet $100.
142
As the dealer passed out cards, Micky could see everything through my meta glasses and was secretly in my ear telling me exactly when to hit or stand.
143
Hit.
144
Hit.
145
Tap it, tap it.
146
Yeah, there you go.
147
Hit.
148
21, there you go.
149
We won, bro.
150
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.
151
You might be the greatest that ever lived there, Racky.
152
Yeah.
153
And we kept winning because this man wasn't relying on luck.
154
Yeah, there you go.
155
That's a good start.
156
He was counting cards, which meant he could basically predict which cards were coming next.
157
Stand. Do this.
158
Stand.
159
There you go, big dog.
160
Let's go, baby.
161
Double down.
162
Take another hundred dollar chip and put it out there.
163
Big money.
164
Bang!
165
Bang!
166
Bang!
167
Bang!
168
Oh my god.
169
It was big bro.
170
We were cooking and the dealer still had no idea that I was being controlled by a professional card counter.
171
But I had never played blackjack before and what I didn't realize was
172
that the cards could turn on you at any moment Hit Hit again Ah,
173
it's alright Happens Happens It's alright Hit Yeah Ah Oh Happens to the best of us Can't win them all Ah
174
Rip It's alright I was not alright.
175
Our money was going down fast.
176
So when Mickey told me to go as big as the table would let me, I listened.
177
What should we do here?
178
What are we thinking?
179
Bet 400.
180
Let's go crazy.
181
Alright, no problem.
182
Max bet.
183
Let's go.
184
What should we do?
185
Stand?
186
Stand.
187
Stand.
188
Stand.
189
Oh my boy, why didn't we stand?
190
He has 12 against a 3.
191
That's what I'm saying.
192
Your neighbor screwed him.
193
It was over.
194
Mickey had nothing.
195
The dealer had us beat and we were seconds away from losing it all.
196
But then the ancient blackjack gods looked down and said Thank God
197
You win you win thank God We were winning again, but I wanted more and all
198
that was left was for me to flex by getting the rarest hand in the game a Blackjack,
199
it's when your first two cards add up to 21 and you win instantly Come on,
200
baby Even the dealer could not believe my luck and it just kept going another blackjack.
201
Let's go keep 200 out there.
202
Let's go, baby
203
Baby, I wish you were here so I could kiss you on the lips right now
204
There's a funny thing that happens when you keep winning long enough.
205
You start to get greedy.
206
I'm thinking $500 or die trying.
207
Alright, bad.
208
Oh, that's horrible.
209
Uh oh, we're in trouble.
210
Oh boy.
211
Hit.
212
Hit.
213
Oh.
214
Twenty-one?
215
Twenty-one!
216
That's my dog!
217
Yeah, pass our money!
218
Oh my god!
219
Sickle, sickle, sickle.
220
Yep, just another day.
221
You know, they say to never get greedy at a casino, but I don't know, it worked out pretty well for me.
222
Cheating with Mickey won us over $1,500 and we were that much closer to doubling our money.
223
And since this method was clearly working, we decided to move up to a high roller table where the big boys play with big boy money
224
and wins here could be worth three times more than before.
225
Ready to go, big dog?
226
You should bet a thousand right now.
227
I'm thinking about if I should put another thousand in or not.
228
Here we go.
229
This table was no joke.
230
I was literally about to win or lose a thousand dollars in the next ten seconds.
231
Hit.
232
Hit.
233
And if you're like me, wanting to make big money fast.
234
Hit.
235
I've created a way for you to do that without ever stepping foot in a casino.
236
Let's go!
237
Thousand dollars right there.
238
I just won a thousand dollars in literal seconds
239
And that's not even close to what people are getting paid to make the viral clips
240
that you see on your for you page for the biggest
241
creators in the world I bet it's about a thousand and they're doing it through a company.
242
I created called clip farm on content rewards
243

244
because there's literally no way to lose
245
and it's super easy to get started you sign up for
246
free We give you content from the biggest creators in the world you clip the best moments
247

$2,000 in just two minutes and while we're talking about money brands
250
and creators like mr Beast Jake Paul Call of Duty and
251
so many more are using content wars to pay people just like you to clip their content Whoever sat down, I'd see one just screwed us real bad.
252
God dang it, bro.
253
Alright, bet a thousand.
254
Mickey's super genius cheating methods were starting to look like they could actually help us reach our goal of $20,000.
255
And speaking of $20,000, some Clippers are pulling in over $20,000 a month because with content rewards,
256
you get paid $500 for every 1 million views.
257
And you literally don't need any skills to start.
258
Take another $1,000 and put it next to the thousand you have.
259
We're doubling down.
260
Oh my god.
261
Mickey just told me to double our bet, which meant this was the single highest stakes hand we've played so far.
262
Come on.

267

268
Come on.
269
Ten!
270
Let's go!
271
There it is!
272
That's what I'm talking about!
273
Take your money, let's get out!
274
Thank you guys, stay cool, let's go to the bathroom.
275
Get in here, get in here, get in here, get in here, get in here.
276
What?
277
What are you doing?
278
Mickey, who are you?
279
Mickey, you dirty boy!
280
I would kiss you on the lips if I was in the same room with you right now.
281
Dude, I would be like, I would be, I would make kids with you, bro.
282
But as we made our way to the casino floor, I started thinking about it again.
283
Again, I've been seeing some signs for a roulette color.
284
Let's just say theoretically I would have put everything I have on roulette What color should I go with?
285
I know I was joking about it before
286
but for some reason I felt an urge I could bet all of my money and instantly double it.
287
It would be so easy
288
But I had to resist temptation because our next gambling expert was eager to see us Let's go!
289
Sound two!
290
Good to see you!
291
I found a machine, I wanna show you where it is.
292
Let's do it.
293
But while we were on our way to the next machine, something switched in Doha.
294
I've learned everything from Mickey Bro.
295
I've learned so much, give me a hundred bucks and I'm gonna make you a thousand!
296
You've been hanging out with too many pros, and now you think that you're good.
297
You know who taught me? Who?
298
Mickey Bro!
299
Yeah, he didn't teach you anything.
300
This dude literally couldn't stop yapping about blackjack, so he went to the tables determined to prove me wrong.
301
But I was ready to try out Professor Slott's famous 5-spin jackpot method.
302
Why these specifically?
303
But this is a row, probably one of them.
304
The 5-spin method by minimum bets, so we have to figure out which one.
305
A lot of what he said went over my head, but here's the gist.
306
In phase one, we try each machine.
307
And in phase two, if one of them gives us a small win within our first five spins,
308
we go all in on that machine because it's the most likely to give us a jackpot.
309
Okay, here we go.
310
One with the machine, as you say.
311
Come on, baby.
312
I could feel that I was about to will this W into existence.
313
Professor Slotz, I can feel- Something special's about to happen.
314
Okay, maybe not.
315
So we do the next machine.
316
Alright.
317
According to Professor Slotz, the jackpot was in one of these two last machines.
318
And while we kept spinning, Doha was about to find out if he actually learned anything from watching Mickey.
319
Alright man, we gotta win bro.
320
On three, on three.
321
Redemption.
322
Stand and pray for the best Meanwhile,
323
I was so confident that the jackpot was inside one of these two machines
324
that I started to gaslight myself I really feel good about this one
325
I really feel good about this I really feel good about I really Come on,
326
baby No luck, but I believed in our final machine that one's freezing cold this one's arctic cold,
327
but this one This one is just right I can feel it.
328
What is that?
329
How do you split?
330
Another chip out there.
331
21. Ooh.
332
21. What the?
333
What the?
334
Come on, baby!
335
And while Doha was racking up generational wealth, I was praying the slots would do the same for me.
336
Okay!
337
This is the one.
338
Okay, what do you mean this is the one?
339
Those didn't win, this didn't win, and within five bets we won something here.
340
So that's our- that's the five spin method is a tool.
341
And so now that we've done the five spin method, we play this one.
342
We're gonna go all in on this machine and we're gonna see what happens.
343
Professor Slott's strategy was going according to plan and on the other side of the casino, Doha was gaining an illegal amount of aura.
344
My boy Doha was about to be on the cover of 4th, but Professor Slott's and I were just starting to lock in on our jackpot winning machine.
345
These are $5 bets right now, right?
346
No, they are $75 bets.
347
Oh really?
348
Each bet that we do?
349
Yeah.
350
I knew $75 a spin was insane, but at this point I was so down bad for this jackpot that I was willing to do whatever it takes.
351
And on the second spin, I only had one thing in mind.
352
Yeah, I was wondering if you were subscribed.
353
Mafia, come on!
354
We are so close to 19 million subscribers.
355
As you guys know every 1 million subscribers we go up, I have to do whatever the top comments say.
356
So if you want to participate, make sure you're subscribed and leave a comment on this video.
357
I already have to do some of the crazy stares on all of YouTube.
358
Sneaking into the White House, legally changing my name to Diddy, sneaking into Area 51.
359
Guys, I'm not asking for much.
360
If you can hit that subscribe button, I will be forever grateful.
361
Now back to the slot machine.
362
Second spin.
363
What what just happened you want money do we just win five five six hundred dollars?
364
It works no way
365
We waited so long for that we're like predators in the Sahara stalking down our prey
366
and our prey is a Jackpot sitting here, you know helping you win, and that's what I do so I'm happy you're happy
367
Happy it turns out professor slots was a mad genius all along
368
and his methods meant we were up an extra $600
369
and after a few more small wins slots and I said our goodbyes
370
So I reunited with Doha to find out how he did at blackjack.
371
I'm back my brother.
372
What is up?
373
You look like you're a good spirits.
374
I made $125 in the first 15 minutes of the game
375
But I lost it back again I'm gonna get 30 minutes for now.
376
Ah!
377
I'm gonna get 30 minutes for now.
378
But I didn't lose anything.
379
So you made no money?
380
I made no money.
381
I doubted Professor Slott.
382
I doubted Dom.
383
Are you sick?
384
I doubted you.
385
I didn't trust you.
386
I was skeptical of everybody that you brought.
387
Doha was starting to lose his mind, but I had some news that I knew would calm him down.
388
Professor Slott's and I won over $700.
389
What oh my god no way bro.
390
I think we need to bring this all together and go big it's 9 30 p.m Okay, the night is young.
391
We were up big, but everywhere I turned I was seeing red I was sure we could double our money
392
and hit our goal with just one spin The only problem was somebody had already beaten me to the tables.
393
Are you already going?
394
Yeah?
395
I already made one point okay, so I forgot that I left Dom with my chips from yesterday dude is already playing Dom was already on a tear.
396
The man could literally not roll a seven and on top of
397
that He was betting ten times as much money as yesterday
398
mean we had a chance to win ten times more money I was in a blow state today.
399
Thanks to me not talking Get up.
400
You guys have to understand this man invented the sport of controlled dice rolling Don proved that he was a machine yesterday,
401
but today that machine was starting to break down.
402
And even though he bounced back a few times, we were slowly bleeding money.
403
Didn't bounce off the wall at all.
404
He's not happy.
405
I'm not happy.
406
I think we've lost a lot of money so far.
407
We're gonna take a break.
408
Lay it out for me, I haven't checked in with you.
409
I'm down $800.
410
Right now my body type maybe is not in the right mood right now.
411
We decided to call it there.
412
And not only were we still thousands of dollars away from our goal, but two straight days in this casino had me completely drained.
413
Mafia, I do not know what to do here.
414
I spent months planning this video for what I thought was
415
going to be a back to back to back to back win streak.
416
I'm just starting to question if cheating in a casino can actually pay off.
417
I just don't want to believe that the house always went like there has to be a way to beat the house.
418
I was one gambling man away from putting it all on red, but there was still one man I could call.
419
$10,000 not gonna double itself, you know what I mean?
420
I have convinced Mickey Mace to run it back for night two.
421
What's happening?
422
Mickey, how I can convince you to convince Eric that we leave the casino right now?
423
Cash out.
424
I don't know why you'd get greedy.
425
You had a great win yesterday.
426
Why couldn't you just book the dub?
427
If I don't double it, nothing mattered anyway.
428
If you have net profit, a win is a win.
429
If that's not good enough for you because you're greedy, you want more, you're not done, and whatever it may be, I understand that feeling.
430
And if that's the case, then I will help you gamble.
431
Any logic that I came into this casino with was out the window.
432
I knew it was either walking away with double or nothing.
433
I know you can't respond to me because you don't want to get caught, so this is what I'm going to do.
434

I was gone, possessed by the gambling gods to the point of no return.
508
There was no way I was leaving this casino without playing the one game that's been calling me for days.
509
Bro, you're not putting all this money on red or black or whatever.
510

526
You have to leave bro.
527
Stop, stop, stop.
528
There are no more decisions to make other than are we putting it on red or black?
529
Those two colors were literally the only thing I could think about
530
and even though all the signs were pointing me to choose red There were actually a few people who said otherwise.
531
What do you think it should be?
532
Black.
533
Okay.
534
Personally, I wore black for years.
535
If I was going to make a guess right now, I'd say put the money on black, man.
536
I don't think we should be doing this.
537
That is so much money, bro.
538
There is 99% chance that we are going to lose it.
539
Can we increase the maximum bet?
540
We have 19,000.
541
No, Eric, we need to leave.
542
Oh my gosh.
543
There's a whole crowd here right now.
544
Roulette is a game of chance.
545
Put your money on the table and a tiny little ball decides your fate.
546
Pick the right color and you can double your money instantly.
547
Pick the wrong color and you can lose everything.
548
But there's actually a third color on that wheel that nobody talks about.
549
Green.
550
The odds of landing on it?
551
2%.
552
An outcome so rare that if we bet all our money and hit, it would be a 35 to 1 payout of $700,000.
553
$1,000 When
554
I first stepped into this casino, I had it all planned out.
555
Ten thousand dollars in my pocket three of the greatest gamblers to ever live
556
and all the raw Confidence in the world
557
that I could cheat this casino out of a fortune But the truth is none of that actually matter
558
Because I actually put everything on black.
559
Yeah, we should put it all on black.
560
Oh my god This is it bro Everything that we had no no No way!
561
Bro, I told you several times we could leave the casino.
562
How could we have missed that you were wearing that green hat all two days?
563
There's gotta be a lesson in there somewhere.
564
It turns out the hardest thing to do in a casino isn't winning.
565
It's leaving.
566
That's pretty much it.
567
Now you wanna leave?

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
