S1E2: Atlantic City Outlaw
The second episode revolves around card counting. Seriously, casinos get the jitters from professional card counters, and we love it! The stories you’ll hear are just too crazy to be true.
Imagine, there’s a guy who counts cards with special shoes that have a computer hidden inside. And then there’s that veteran cheater who takes on another sly cheater. Oh, and we still have to talk about that brazen bookmaker who doesn’t care about the law.
Everything comes up in this series about the deranged world of gambling.
S1E3: Bet Everything on Red
‘Bet everything on red.’ That sounds like a wild gamble, doesn’t it? Exactly, that’s roulette for you, where you feel the suspense as you have to choose between red or black. And guess what? In the third episode of Hustlers Gamblers Crooks, you’ll see a guy who literally bets all his life savings.
One bet, now or never. All on red. You can feel the adrenaline, because the outcome of that spinning roulette wheel simply determines his entire future. Is it all or nothing?

In this episode, you’ll also see a legendary con man who stays one step ahead of both casinos and the police. And we haven’t even talked about the guy who made an insane bet and went under the knife for it.
S1E5: The Lost Weekend
This time, it’s all about two guys who are broke and experience an adventure over a weekend that you’ll never forget. And hey, gambling isn’t always a happy story for the winner. There’s even a man who wins $2.2 million in the lottery and then his life turns into a nightmare.
And then there’s the story of a party boy who not only runs his own poker games but also puts his entire life on the line.
S1E6: The Master of Disguises
A card counter who disguises himself and secretly prowls casinos, so he can walk out the door as an unrecognizable winner. Sounds like a movie plot, doesn’t it?
One of his casino adventures goes horribly wrong, and then the hunt for this card counter is on.
The story of an ultra-expensive legal dispute, where millions of dollars are at stake, is also worth a look. In the end, they decide to settle it with a poker game.
And then there’s a game show guru who reveals his biggest win ever. You’ll roll from one amazement to the next.
Take it with a Grain of Salt
Just a heads-up! You should take the stories in the Hustlers Gamblers Crooks series on Discovery with a grain of salt. If you dig a little deeper into those people’s lives, you’ll find out that some players aren’t exactly well-behaved.
Some even don’t take the law too seriously or go into full-on con mode. But honestly, it’s just cool to go along with the adventures of big winners, unlucky ones, and cheaters.
