Pool Hall Scams

2 pool hall scams guaranteed to win you some cash!

Segments

This week, a double punch: one quick-and-dirty way to trick your friends, and a proposition bet that will double your take.

Pool Hall Trick #1

While halfway through playing a standard game of 8 ball, start calling out your opponent. Tell him he stinks. He's got nothin'. In fact, claim that you're so good, he won't sink another ball for the rest of the entire game!

Once he takes your bet, take your turn... and immediately sink the 8-ball. You'll lose the game, but you'll WIN the side bet!

Pool Hall Coin Trick #2

Place a ball on the table's spot, then place a dime on top of the ball. Fire the cue ball forward, knock the ball off, and watch as the dime lands right on the spot.

After showing you can pull it off every time, challenge them to get it right just 2 out of 3 times. They won't have a chance.

The Reveal

When you set the dime up for yourself, place it squarely in the center of the ball. When setting it up for them, tilt it to the back of the ball. That way, when the ball is struck, the dime will be launched backwards, and away from the target spot!!

Great tricks. The last one though, was a bit obvious. But then again, if you are spending your time at a bar. People are so drunk anyway. That they wouldn't figure it out.

The first one, was genius. (Can almost hear a evil laughter.)

Yeah, that first one is perfect for me, since I suck at pool, and all my friends are good at it. That's the only way I could win anything with a stick and some balls.

I honestly think that both of these tricks would end up with me being punched in the face.

That's not a bad point, and it reinforces what I've said before: nobody will ever give you anything, ever... unless they like you. All bar bet/proposition bets are predicated on the idea that the mark is fully aware they got taken, but don't care. Ideally, they'll consider it a payment on previous entertainment services rendered.
