card sharp
This term describes a deceptive gambler who relies on technical skill and trickery rather than luck. It carries a strong negative connotation of dishonesty and criminal intent, distinguishing the subject from a professional gambler who may play legally but with high expertise.
While the term is often used interchangeably with card shark, the original form sharp refers to a person who is overly clever or cunning. In modern usage, shark is more common, but sharp remains the technically precise term for a cheat in formal or historical contexts.
