CedarPointer Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Which brings us to the best plan of all: spit. Applying a smidgen of saliva to the coin will help it stick better, though try to be discreet about it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI-ORIG-EMP Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 The best way to keep your hard earned money on these games is not to play them in the first place. The prize you have won ended up costing you more than the prize is worth. Either buy a stuffed animal direct or use your money to buy food. At least with the food, you will either enjoy it or get heart burn, but you got something for your money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jr for Birdy Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 I won my little girl a stuffed animal she really wanted the other day,she was so happy,then she gave it to her little sister.I was so proud of her! There is something fun about winning a prize,especially for kids. Probably the best 5 dollars i have spent in the park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least with the food, you will either enjoy it or get heart burn, but you got something for your money. I would kindly like to disagree with your theory, that is unless you can tell me where you can get 2 iPads, 3 iTouches, an iPhone and 20 NBA jerseys for under $300. You see I know someone who won all these things in 3 days last month (May 4-6, 2012) for about that amount of money. Of course, I'm probably making all this all up.....oh wait a second, I forgot I've got it all on video with all the "good stuff" posted on YouTube (just search "Cincinnati Sniper" or "Perfect 3 point challenge", if you want to see these one of a kind videos). The key to success for all amusement park games is the same as success in life.....You practice over and over again until you perfect your craft and when you get the opportunity you take advantage of it. I sell a couple hundred dollars worth of amusement park prizes for him almost every week from sales on Amazon, eBay and Craigslist. It is to such an extreme that he pays over a thousand dollars in taxes every year on the items he wins at amusement park games. Now if you watched the YouTube videos, let me go ahead and answer the frequently asked questions I get a few hundred of times a year, since I know they are likely coming. 1. Who is he? Just a genuinely nice guy that I was lucky enough to meet and become friends with a few years ago while waiting in line for Diamondback. 2. Where did he play high school/college ball? He didn't. 3. So, you all go all across the country doing this? Yes, we both enjoy riding coasters and visiting theme parks, this is just an addition to that. Plus we both enjoy sampling the local cuisines while we travel too. 4. Is this his real job? No, just a nice supplemental income. 5. What does he do with all the stuff he wins? We sell it to help fund our future trips. 6. What's the biggest prize he ever won? You wouldn't believe me if I told you....lol 7. Does he ever get tired? Not that I've ever seen, he could do this for hours without a break, but that's usually not necessary. 8. How many times has he done it before? Around 40 or 50, but I've only seen it 10 times. As I don't always travel with him and I've only known him for 3 years. 9. Can he win me a (insert prize here)? I don't know, you'll have to ask him, I'm just the sidekick. There's a reason I'm holding the video camera, I'm fat and lazy. 10. Has he ever been banned from playing? Yes, several times. Including a lifetime ban from BGT. Games supervisors aren't real happy when you win their top prize(s) for less than $50. 11. Why doesn't he take all the prizes he has won? Because we are 500 miles (only an example, it can range from 200 to 1,000) away from home and we don't have room to put all this stuff in the car. 12. Doesn't he know he could already have half the money for "X" prize? Yes, he knows that, just hang around here for a few minutes and you'll see something special. Besides he's not over here telling you how to spend your money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
