Finding a lil action

BeeMan said:
Round where I play people are extrememly tentative to gamble when playin pool...
I'm not looking for any high stakes games whatsoever, only $5 or $10 a pop. But when I ask to play for something, no one even wants to play for a drink.
I don't want to bark at people or hustle. I just would like help in knowing how to approach someone, what to say. etc etc

I by no means want to hustle someone out of their money... just a small amount on the game for fun..

I play with one guy just for $1 or $2 a game,,and that is completely fine with me..It is for fun, and it gets me a couple drinks is all, nothin major..

So any help on this matter is appreciated

bEE mAN...

Yeah, I know of rooms along George St where there is a little goin on...just more interested in local small time stuff...

I was thinking of getting down to Melbourne for it..see if it will fit into my studies... Now Virgin airlines are runnin the same deal, so thats good!

Take care
 
I'll add my 2 cents. Once you find someone to play for money, don't try and win or lose strategicly (spelling?) to keep them betting. Instead try and get the bet around double the price of a drink. ie. drinks cost $5 try and get $10 a game. After each game or every second game buy the guy a drink, winning becomes easier as he gets drunker, as well as, noone minds losing to a guy buying them drinks all night. Try and give back half the money by buying drinks for your opponent. You make a little for yourself, and he still gets drunk off his own money... If you can't get the games to $10 just play for $5 and buy him a drink every second game.
