How to unlock the The Old Switcheroo achievement in The Big Con - Definitive Guide

Towards the end of the game after confronting Ricky, you will be back on the casino floor where you must find Ted who challenges you to a 'winner takes all challenge' where you have to be the first to acquire $20,000 from the casino area. Instead if you head to the bar on the right hand side you can steal a briefcase where Alison will comment it is similar to the one Ted's muscle is carrying around. Find Ted on the casino floor and approach the muscle carrying the briefcase. Using 'Y' you switch the briefcase around then head to the fountain to meet Ted. Be sure to choose the option telling him you switch the briefcases. On the safe side be sure not to pickpocket anyone. I am not 100% if this will stop you from gaining the achievement but it is what I did.

It looks like you need to decline the challenge. I did the swap during the challenge without telling Ted afterward and no unlock.

I'm pretty sure I accepted the challenge. I am looking at doing another playthrough this weekend and I will update accordingly.

I can confirm that you get the achievement by accepting the challenge, getting the briefcase by the bar, and then switching the cases with the Y button with Ted's guard who has the other briefcase.

I declined the challenge, did the swap I the eating area (where he is located by default) and it unlocked. So both methods may be valid.

After hearing the conversation between Ricky and Ted, Ted will go downstairs with the guard and the money. You can either go downstairs too or speak to Ricky (it will send you to a prison, but you'll get out and the result is the same).
Then, you'll appear right on front of the elevators. Wait for the animation to end and go to speak to Ted. He'll tell you that it was nothing personal and that he'd like to finish this thing with a competition of stealing.
You must refuse this competition, then go to the right side of the casino and steal the normal bag, right where there's a barman. Then go where Ted and the guard are and "steal" again to change the bags.
