Dice Play - The Cheating Game

To cheat at dice was called cogging. To cog a die was to use fake dice in a way to give yourself an advantage. Dice that were weighted on one side to them unbalanced, were called fullums. False dice that tended to turn up high numbers were called high men and those that tended to turned up low numbers were called low men. Some gamblers play upon the prick, which meant that they used marked cards. Of course, card cheats didn't rely simply on marked cards. They also used accomplices. In walker's book he describes scenarios where accomplices position themselves so they can see the other players cards and then pass secret signals to the cheat.
