Playing cards bets...(there is proof out there)
A card tricks artist claiming he could knock over a bowling pin by throwing cards from behind the foul line. Off to a bowling alley the gamblers went, where a single pin was placed on the head spot.
The man began throwing cards with amazing accuracy. The first card was wedged under the base of the pin. Then another card wedged under the first card. On it went, card after card, until the pin toppled.
Never take a proposition bet.
Bar drinks? Baseball game on the tube? If the count is full, bet that the next pitch will result in a foul ball. Odds are heavily in your favor. Don't believe me? Check it out next time you watch a game...
