Know any good betchas?

I betcha I can chew the top right off a soda can.

The funny thing is, there is no trick to this.. I use the two sharp teeth on the left side of my mouth. I use the bottom one to puncture the can right below the lip on the outside of the can, while the top one holds the can like a can opener.

I then rotate the can slightly, and do it again, tearing the next little section. I am actually using my teeth to make slight tears in the aluminum. I have never bet anyone on this, but it would be easy to get someone on this if either they, or you were drunk, or if they "thought" you were drunk.

Anyone know this one: Bet someone that you can say a four digit number, and they won't be able to write it down within 10 seconds.
 
Alright, here is a good one:

You guys know about the basic rule for 3 cushion, right?

In order to score a point-

1, the CB has to touch two other balls
2, the CB has to hit the rail 3 times before hitting the second ball.

Now....

With only one ball on the table, I can make a point. Want to bet?

(hint: this is the way I will be shooting, great practice of Diamond System)

You say: Eleven hundred, one-hundred, and eleven. Which of course equals 1,211 but no one is going to figure that out in 10 seconds. If you think that is too long, limit them to 5 seconds.

If it were me, I'd tell you that you said a four digit number as soon as you said "eleven hundred".. which I would write down immediately as "1100" and I would claim that I won the bet... easily.

I think that you need to re-think this one, brother.

Two of my other favorite betchas are folding a cigarette till the tip touches the filter without breaking the paper

Actually, the way I learned that one was to roll the cigarette up in a dollar bill and then fold the whole thing.

if you light and take one good drag on the cig, it will become virtually unbreakable and very flexible. much cooler than rolling it up in a bill.

This works very seldom on a bar table, but it's pretty easy on a 9 footer if you know the trick stroke. There's nothing to pocket, just make the cueball hit in between the pockets and balls as illustrated.

Thats would work except most people wouldn't catch on to that, because they would be thinking about the one-hundred and eleven. But I see what you're saying, and you're right. Maybe that isn't the best one...
 
How about this one?

I bet that I can push a wine cork inside of an empty wine bottle and bring it back out without breaking the bottle.
 
betcha hardly anyone on the planet knows
jimi hendrix & joe pesci played in the same band
a long long long time ago
yes, i did say joe pesci :D

Looks like you are trying to teach your son that trick too.:p

Betcha I can balance a 3/4 full draft glass on a nickel using George Washington's nose.

A guy (read: quite a professional drunk) that used to come into the bar when I was a bartender taught me this one. He was very good at it, no matter what time of the morning it was! :)

For a good visual effect, try using a pile of salt instead of a nickel. Once the glass is balanced blow as much of the salt away as you can. Sitting all by itself, on the top of the bar, the glass seems to defy gravity.

On the subject of salt, bet someone that you can drown a fly and bring it back to life. Fill a glass with water clear to the very top and put a fly in the water.The fly will float so you have to put something over the top of the glass to keep the fly submersed. Wait five minutes or so and pull the cover off. The fly will be lifeless. Remove the fly from the glass, set it on a counter top and cover it with salt. In a few minutes the fly will emerge from the salt and fly away. I've done this several times and it does work, Evidently the salt removes the water from the fly's body. The hardest part of this trick is catching the fly and getting it into the water.

To go off on a tangent- The place i stayed at in Florida had a pool and Carpenter Bees. Carpenter Bees are big ol bees that look just like Bumble Bees. They drill circular holes in houses and live in there. Anyway they were buzzing all around the pool so i got the only thing around a big Skim Net and whacked the crap out of them mid air into the pool. Rather than pull them out of the pool and squish them- I figured i just drown them. NO way!! I held them under water with the net until my arms ached and the funny thing is they didnt look the least bit uncomfortable under there. Just hanging out here under water. 2 minutes dry off and fly away. I had to employ the squish technique afterall. I didnt like doing it but man, these things just pestered and scared anyone around.

place a ball on the lip of each pocket, put the cueball in the middleof the table, and bet them that they can't make all the balls on the table without missing or scratching. ( Iv'e actually had 2 decent shooters blow this, guess there mind was still trying to figure it out)



trick: shoot ALL the balls on the table, all 7 of them.

Someone that one at the poolhall years ago. The victim never understood the gaff and thought he had won the bet. A fistfight almost erupted even after everyone tried to explain to him that it was a gag. To this day I don't think he understands. Philw
