A coin flipping scam to beat our schoolmates out of their lunch money
Although Dean and I were only in junior high school, we’ d already acquired hoodlum habits. Convinced that doing wrong was easier than doing right — and more fun — we devised a coin flipping scam to beat our schoolmates out of their lunch money.
Operating on the five-flip, odd-man-wins-all principle, we two con boys lured suckers in and contrived to have our coins land on heads and tails, thus insuring we’d win the third guy’s money.
my brother played the poker raise the stakes til all others drop out... taking all the penny antes for us.
i don’t feel too bad... it was a long long time ago
I used to go around in high school with a marked deck of cards and hustle the brothers who liked to play spades. Never got caught :)
a good friend of mine used to sell nickel bags of oregano to unsuspecting chefs...
who are they gonna complain too, his father was a state trooper.
