Who the hell would give £££ to some Eastern Europeans on a bridge in public thinking their have a chance of winning money hahaha It's a great trick/scam....... it's playing on our human nature of greed and the chance (you think) of making money.

I was on Westminster Bridge yesterday, January 14, 2024. Same scenario as you showed in the video. Groups of scammers, barely couple hundred yards away from each other, with same mechanisms. Funny bit even the hot dog vendors were there. It made me laugh because I'm street wise and I know how these scams work, but it also made me wince as I did not expect it to be so blatant. Great to see them go when you start filming them, too.

It takes putting up a few signs (in a place that they're not easily tampered with) to inform people and stop this. If the same little guy is back doing this 2 weeks later, it's not gonna get solved.

You would think our Police force would prioritize keeping the tourist (who bring in much-needed foreign currency) safe from these scammer and thieves. Every victim is at least one person who is unlikely to visit these shores again or someone who will tell others of their unpleasant and costly experiences which will likely sway them towards visiting somewhere else instead. This level of complacency is likely costing us all millions (if not billions) of lost potential income. Shame on the government, the Met, (the UK border Force and the justice system in this particular case). Well done @CyclingMikey.

They usually work in teams of 4. One running the scam, two taking turns to bet and win (one bets for a bit, then "leaves" and the other takes over, then repeat), and usually at least one spotter (will shout or whistle when they see the police coming). Many years ago, I was working in Barcelona, and I used to walk a lot around La Rambla in my free time, it was full of people running this scam. Very well organised.

I absolutely applaud your work and admire what you do. If I had more free time, I’d love to come with you!

In the UK tourists tend to be very concentrated (getting them out of London is an issue) and the number of sites they congregate very focused around the Central Core. Tourist Police with limited powers - and equally less training - should hardly break the exchequer. Maybe even for Special Constabulary. Obviously tourist are not voters so there is always the political excuse to ignore this, but London and the UK can do better. There’s a core of rogues here. They do not hide - this is a very visible crime.

@@alrightboblive thank you for your reply. Just another scam. Like a lot of things. I'm glad that you are in control of your gambling. Additionally, for me, if I can't win on that first dollar, I'm not going to win. Winnings go into a separate pocket and I am willing to gamble that dollar again, but I know that when I dip into the winnings pocket, that money is lost. All the best regards to you 🙏

@@nick1635 if the house "always" wins, it's not gambling; it's a scam. Gambling means that there is a chance of winning; if you don't play, you can't win. Gamble only as much as you can lose. I hope that helps clarify, I'm here to help. (If I can't win on that first dollar, I'm not going to win) all the best regards to you 🙏

Thank you for your efforts, much appreciated!

I've been watching your videos for a few months now (maybe 6-8 months) and I've never seen you doing this. But I just saw another video of a guy (Channel = Steve of Southall) walking up and down the same bridge with a megaphone calling out the scammers... and the next video KZread recommends...? Funny how the algorithm works. Nice work Mikey.

Mikey, you should pick up their mats

Great video Mikey, be good to see some more of these videos exposing these pigs, what ever happened to London, once a great city !

How are people still falling for this? And - where are the Police? Good work confronting these criminals.

The biggest part of the scam is the other gamg members pickpocketing the inlookers who are distracted by the game

if only there were actual bobbies on the beat patrolling these high traffic tourist areas, it would be so easy to stop this kind of criminality

Not at all these kind of things happen when the police were there, they just run away and return, if they get caught, the courts will fine them and that's it

Why would an organisation, employed by the biggest scammers in the country do anything about it?

Well done Cycling Mikey. That is a disgraceful carry-on and it is bad for London tourism. These scammers are low life's who should go get a legitimate job.

Great job to stop the scammers

Good on you,exposing those scam artists, and making their life difficult. However people should, know better and not fall for the scams.. Once in you're likely to, try win back what you lost. Where are the Police, to crackdown on those people, involved i. Illegal gambling. Nice video 👍👍

Can’t believe this happens on Westminster Bridge in central London. I haven’t lived in London for almost 20 years. This makes me feel sad.

One would probably expect to see it at one of the tackier tourist spots in London, but this is a very short distance from the Houses of Parliament, which is very heavily policed. The Met and the Mayor of London should feel embarrassed.

they do, they arrest them and take them to the station, after that it's in the hands of the law the judicial system the home office to deport them etc, the police don't make the law they enforce it, as you saw at the end of the video 2 got caught 2 weeks earlier

Good job Mikey! looking out for the people.

These scammers should be locked up not fined. I remember the same scam back in the swinging sixties in London. Keep up the good work but be careful you could make lots of enemies doing your good deeds.

they should be deported not locked up, no reason our tax money should pay for their food and roof over their heads.

Great job, thank you Mikey.

The dangerously parked ice cream vans you mentioned in your description is something I noticed in quite a number of those London "walkabout" YT videos.

It causes the cycle lane to be blocked by pedestrians

Thanks for letting people know and raising awareness but it's probably best to let the police deal with it directly rather than trying to stop them yourself because they might get very nasty and you can't tell who's in on it. There might be a whole load of plants in the crowd that could turn on you, because they must get a cut out of it and it's a lot of money. People get ugly when there's a lot of money involved, so be very careful. Best wishes.

The police could stop this instantly if they wished.

Note one of the many gang members ('sorry' @6.13) attempting to block Mikey's filming. Be careful Mikey! 👍 (Pedestrian's disregarding the cycle lane is noted).

YOU ARE A HERO MIKEY

nice to see our eastern euro friends are earning an honest wage.....

I feel for this in Italy back 2004. What I couldn't understand was that I was watching from my balcony and got right every time ! But when I played I lost ! There are people in the crowd that are part of it !
