Razzle, or how we gave a carny $1400

[crashtestdummy]

This is why I don't gamble. I'd convince myself that I could outsmart the casino. I wouldn't, but I'd sure sink a ton of money into trying.

How much did you spend on them?

Less than $20.

Sold them on ebay at a loss due to always offering free shipping. :'(

I hope you have a trust fund or something.

I was kidding brah. I gave them to my girlfriend at the time. Which had the unforeseen consequence of littering my home with stuffed animals. She took them with her when she left me after I traded her car for some magic beans.

Dude, you know magic beans don't actually exist right?

This happened to me like two days ago at Charlotte Motor Speedway in North Carolina. They hand you out a free spin, your first pull you get a good amount of points. I got fifty. the number on the ball matched the spreadsheet(Coincidence??? or just luck of the draw) We got lots of bonuses and numbers that didn't win at all and was a waste of a bet. Is there a real way that they can cheat other than putting more bonuses and shit ping pong balls in the bucket? I just don't get it because the first pull was actually fifty points on the ball and spreadsheet. IDK, all in all we finished with 99 points $200 in
-Thanks, NateD:

I said, "can I at least have the tiger?" "Sure," he said, "for $50."

Oh man...

A fool and his money were lucky to get together in the first place.

oh shit! 1 wound, pre-salted.

i used to feel bad about believing the baseball radar guns. "whoa! 85! check out this ace! you're only 10 mph from a major league fastball. not bad for a 12 year old!" at least it wasn't serious money.

Yea, they had a theme park for awhile near Orlando called "Boardwalk and Baseball" with a free radar gun set-up, this was when I was about 33 so I wasn't quite in the "old fart" category I now reside in LOL, but anyway I managed to get it up to 78 and I was winding up and chucking it plus I have long arms too, you don't realize how hard it is to throw past 80 MPH until you try it..

OP's friend, at any rate... supposedly the friend wired him the $1400 that he lost the next day.

Yea, good vid explaining the techniques of the guy and the next to impossible odds of winning, they have a "quarter-pusher" machine in a hindu-mart near me, I've probably spent $20 playing it and won $.75 once LOL, something inside me keeps thinking "this will be the one that pushes $5-7 off the edge!!" but it never happens.

This totally got me side tracked at work into looking at other videos for magic tricks.
