Strangest thing you ever bet on in a pool room

I saw two guys betting it up while sitting at a table at the poolroom. A coffee cup was in the middle and the bet was which side of the cup the next fly would land on.

We did the same thing by putting a fly under an upside down ashtray, betting which hole it would come out by putting your money in front of that hole. It was during dinner and I may or may not have cheated by rubbing a little food on my coins:grin-square:

Miami, sometime in the 60s....the Congress Bowl...best action in Florida
...this was told to me by a guy who was there..

A man built like a couch potato challenged a jock to a race...guy was a fitness freak.
The conditions of the bet was they race one block and the width of an intersection was
the handicap.
Second condition was the fat guy gets to say when...said he needed time to pump him-
self up.
So...the jock was standing on a corner and had to cross Biscayne Blvd....
..the couch potato was on the other side...waiting to say when.
....it was 5 PM and rush hour was in full swing.
Biscayne Blvd was 8 Lanes with a boulevard in the center.

When the light favouring Biscayne turned green, the couch potato said ”When!”

When the couch potato reached the finish, the jock was still waiting on the traffic....
...almost lost his life trying to cross...but kept jumping back to safety.

"You bet 'yer life..."

Bad bet. :shakehead:
 
For anyone who's ever hung out in pool rooms for extended periods, you'll know what I mean when I say there were always those days when stretching out on one of the benches and catching 40 winks was the most exciting prospect going.
...
So, what's the strangest / outside-the-box thing anyone ever bet on in the room on a lazy, slowwwwww day?


Thinking about to get a job?
Sounds strange to you maybe, it's the most natural thing to me :thumbup:
 
So did you take the first guy up on his offer??

She wasnt there but he told her when she showed up.

She got mad at him and started crying. I dont know if it was an act or not, but I would have if she was willing, but he was forcing her and so the short answer, No.

I'm guessing they're divorced or on the short track to one...
