Ace in the Hole (3)
Smart card players, especially those who play for large money, closely watch the person who deals the cards. They are watching to make sure he is dealing honestly, that he is not dealing off the bottom of the stack of cards. A dealer who is doing that has "stacked the deck." He the cards so that he will get higher cards and you will lose. The expression, "dealing off the bottom," now means cheating in business, as well as in cards. And when someone tells you that "the cards are stacked" against you, he is saying you do not have a chance to succeed.
