Anyone here good at carnival games?

Specifically the milkcan, bottle ring top (throw a ring onto the top of a bottle), and the knock down 3 milk bottles with a beanbag game.

Can you please explain your techniques? Thanks.

Yeah, don't play them.

I think if you look around on the web, you'll find that most of those games are rigged to where it's very difficult to win. Requiring you to throw from angles that make the goal impossible, etc.

Those are like the 3 hardest games. I never play those because they are so easily rigged (or in the ring toss game simply impossible to win). The only game I can win consistently is the game where you have to roll a bowling ball and have it stay beyond the first hump.

Yes I really do agree with all three.

I can win the milk bottle/bean bag thing but only because I used to pitch for HS and I still have a pretty decent arm and aim.

You know the game where there are a bunch of glass plates, and you need to toss a coin and it needs to stay on the plate? That game was impossibly hard for me, but i saw a guy that kept continuously winning it... it was freaky.

Anyways, i remember seeing an investigative expose on these games, but i can't remember what the tricks where.

Carnival games were old school before old school was old school.

That one isn't so hard. Since the plate is usually flat, you must have the coin land straight down. Height is your friend.
