to do something deceptively; to
swindle or cheat. This
term comes from the
act of cheating in a
game of cards where the
dealer covertly controls the
game by giving a player (or players) cards from the bottom of the deck where they have been placed by him knowing they will be detrimental to the other player(s). Cards are normally dealt from the top of the deck and are, at that
time, unknown to the
dealer and other players.
