World-famous gambler Anargyros Karabourniotis, 62. Who now faces extradition and prison time if convicted, may wish he had learned how to work for a living.The DA’s office says Karas’ best-known winning streak happened between 1992 and 1995 when he turned $50 into $40 million by gambling. He’s been referred to as the “greatest gambler of all time” in the world of high stakes.
The DA’s office says Karas was caught on surveillance tape marking cards in an effort to identify the value of the cards that he was dealt at the Barona Casino blackjack table. Through the ploy, investigators say he was able to cheat the San Diego casino out of more than $8,000.
