Browntggrr Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Great story! The amount of money he has spent is astounding. Even if the game is $1 (which we know not to be true), a quarter of a million "toys" is $250,000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KI-ORIG-EMP Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 All of that money he is spending just to win stuffed animals is beyond me. He has the skills and knowledge on how to beat the game but if he was to use his sharp memory skills and play black jack in Vegas, they would ban him as a card counter (if he had that skill). But if he likes it and is having fun, more power to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanna Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 When I would work at St. Rita's and my schools carnivals, I knew two brothers that could ring anything. They asked if I needed something to drink, I gave them two quarters, they come back in less than ten minutes with a won souvenir glass and a won 2 liter bottle of Coke. Later for lunch, we had a quarter's worth of snacks, one booth was giving out wastebaskets of groceries as their prize. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VortexBFForever Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Simply amazing! and generous, too. It must be neat having that much skill to win eventually a total of at least a quarter-million dollars' worth of toys, and then giving a whole lot of them away to charity!
