The Real Hustle

Posted December 15, 2007 - 2:12pm by Brandon

I'm not a huge YouTube fan, but this set of videos is quite clever. It's basically 3 people conning unsuspecting citizens, which is always fun to watch, isn't it? (As long as it isn't you getting conned, that is Wink ) Plus they have English accents, which I'm a huge sucker for.

The Prop Bets section is pretty decent, but my favorite are the Fairground Scams. It's incredible because for some of them, the game can be so rigged that there is Z-E-R-O chance for the player to win. What's even crazier is the geometrical and mathematical tricks that make them impossible.

I love stupid carnival games, and sadly watching these videos left me with an urge to play some of them! I think everyone who's ever played knows it isn't about the value of the prize anyhow, it's the excitement in trying to win that keeps us playing. Laughing out loud
