Before I answer that question, make sure when you are done here, you circle back and click either of of these two links to check out a fun story/video about Leo DiCaprio story hosted by my good friends at Poker.org.
I'll be doing some other fun stuff with those guys very soon including sharing some important card cheating prevention tips as well as an in depth interview with poker journalist extraordinaire, Craig Tapscott.
Ok, Back to Card hustling a drunk!
In my latest Kardsharp video I not only answer with an enthusiastic YES! but I take it one step farther and actually show you HOW to hustle a drunk and win your bet every time! I know, you guys are already thinking, One side of your brain is saying..."damn, what an evil bastard..." and the other is saying... "But I'd really like to know what this card hustle is... just incase!" ;-).
Well, for all of you easily offended self righteous poker players... don't start crying just yet boys, because my I'm truly about to teach you to cheat your friends for the greater good! True story, about 10 years ago I was out with a friend who I hand't seen in years. He had driven 2 hours to hang out and needless to say he had one too many drinks. I assumed he would just crash but when the night was winding down he was fired up and ready to make a 120 mile drive home after drinking about 6 Rum and Cokes and pounding a handful of shots!
I tried to reason with him, but he simply wasn't having it. So, It dawned on me...He was a degenerate gambler who could never say no to a bet. Especially when he thought he had any kind of an edge. So I proposed a bet that I knew he would jump on faster than a free roll. I showed him 6 cards. 3 of them were red (Diamonds and Hearts) and the other 3 were Black, (CLubs and Spades...Duh).
I sat the black cards in a pile to my right and the red cards in a pile to my left and then proceeded to give him a rash if shit. "I bet you're so damn drunk you can't even take 3 black cards (pointing to the black pile) and 3 red cards, )pointing to the red pile) and put them in order Black, Red, Black Red, Black Red without totally screwing it up.
Now, my friend was drunk, but he wasn't stupid! He quickly chimed in and said, you're out of your mind, how much ya wanna bet! (this is when I knew I had him). I told him..."I'm so confident that you are gonna screw it up that if you don't, I'll give you 500 dollars in CASH if you can do it... and I laid 500 bucks on the table. And as he started fumbling around trying to find his wallet I stopped him and said.... hold up! I don't need you to post any cash! What:? he asked. You don't need cash because I don't want your money if you can't do it. His drunkeness became even funnier as he scratched his head and said fine, whu whu whudoya want? To which I told him... If you lose, I get your keys and you have to crash at my place until you are sober.
And then, I refused to let him say yes... I said, hold on, let me show you one more time just so you understand the bet. And I held the three black cards in my right hand and three reds in my left. placed them each in a pile face down. And then said, "Without looking, to get my 500 bucks you have to place them in order starting with the black cards and go black,red,black,red,black,red. Are ya ready?"
He says "hell yeah"... and I reminded him, to post his keys next to my $500 bucks which he did. Then he went to the black pile and placed the first card in the middle, and then one from the red pile on top and so on. But when he turned over all the cards he was stunned to see that all the black cards were still together and all the red cards were still together! I got his keys and maybe saved him from getting his 3rd DUI. (Which he did eventually manage to get, but at least it wasn't on my watch!

I hope you enjoy it and put this little hustle to use the next time you have a friend who might just need to be "tricked" into doing the right thing! Thanks for stopping by. Until next time, Stay Sharp...Stay Kardsharp!

In the annals of American sports, no family name carries more weight than Manning. From Archie's heroic days in a New Orleans Saints uniform to Peyton's five MVP awards and two Super Bowl rings, to Eli's two Super Bowl victories over Tom Brady, the Manning dynasty has defined quarterback excellence for three generations. Now, the torch has passed to Arch Manning—the 6-foot-4, 219-pound redshirt junior at the University of Texas who carries the weight of his family's legacy while determined to write his own chapter.

From the heavy cotton jerseys of the 1980s to the high-tech, skin-tight uniforms of today, NCAA basketball and football apparel have always been about more than just covering the players. They are a canvas for tradition, a battleground for corporate innovation, and a multi-billion dollar statement of identity. The story of the NCAA jersey is a fascinating intersection of technology, marketing, culture, and strict—but evolving—regulation. Larry Bird Indiana State Jersey
