The idiom "stack the cards" originated from the practice of arranging a deck of playing cards in a way that gives the person manipulating the cards an unfair advantage, typically in card games or gambling situations, with the intent of achieving a desired outcome. This manipulation often involved cheating or deception to ensure a favorable result. Over time, the expression evolved into a figurative idiom to describe any situation where one attempts to unfairly tilt the odds in their favor by arranging or influencing factors or conditions.
