Call the police if you are cheated at cards. Can you get the money back?

Hello, the question you want to ask may be that when playing cards, the other party set up a game to trick the participants into losing a lot of property. To solve this problem, here's the thing. Gambling generally refers to gambling or the act of winning or losing by chance. In this normal and fair gambling, winning or losing must depend on accidental facts. If the winner of the so-called gambler is determined before gambling, it is not gambling. At present, some lawless elements in the society make fake gambling, and through mutual cooperation, the gamblers lose money. In this case, the average gambler should call the police immediately. According to the current judicial practice, game setters will generally be punished as fraud. Gambling fraudsters will be convicted and sentenced according to the crime of fraud. After the court makes a judgment, the defrauded property will be returned to the deceived person. According to the logic stipulated by law, this behavior is as follows: the gambler convinced the gambler that the gambling result he participated in was determined by accidental factors, not by the gambler (the gambler cheated) → After falling into such a cognitive error, the gambler participated in gambling and lost, and the gambler mistakenly thought that the gambling loss result was caused by accidental factors, not by the gambler's original intention (the other party fell into a cognitive error) → gambler. If this is the case, the cheated property can be returned. If it is not, it is a real gambling behavior, and it is difficult to return the property, because the gambling money will be confiscated.
