Unusual things won playing

A buddy told me the story about a guy in Florida that actually won part of his opponent's name. The story was posted here on AZ a few years back. Tampa Tubby was asked by Jim Bob what he wanted to play for, and Tubby said, "Your Bob. If I win, you are no longer to be called Jim Bob.....you'll just be Jim."

Now Jim Bob is just Jim and Tampa Tubby is Tampa Tubby Bob.
 
I won a gold ring of a mytholigal greek face w/diamonds for the eyes and another time I won an antique Gibson guitar.

So... what is the most unusual thing you've won ( or know of someone else winning ) gambling on this silly game? For me, it was a large box of albums ( @ 100 or so... and some really good ones, at that ). And then, someone I know once won an entire rental truck full of potted plants ( just the plants, not the truck ) and another time, same guy, an entire car-trunk-full of frozen hams.

I'm guessing there's a few really good ones out there... pile on.

Shameless bump. C'mon y'all... let's here some good ones.
 
I'm assuming the statute of limitations would apply here SO, we were in a little podunk joint playin' cheap 8ball and drinkin beer. We got this guy 'bout 200loser and he wants to play on. When asked what he could bet he took us out back, opened his trunk and HELLO, about 25lbs. of high-grade skunk. I really don't recall a lot of what transpired the rest of the night. Pretty sure ice-cold Buds and multiple j's figured in somehow. ;)
 
My freedom.

Long story short...I made a bet with a guy that whoever lost could not come back into that establishment for 3 months.

The guy was a real jackass. Most every room has that 1 guy. Quick list of annoying things he does.

1. Roll his house cue on another table while that table is in progress.
2. His shot is up and he is off in the corner on cell phone.
3. Talks to the other player while he is shooting about how lucky he is and stands against every pocket that is being shot at.

Best of 5 of 8-ball. I won 3-1

We just started month 2 and I have not seen him. It's been nice

That reminds me of bustin someone wayyyyyyyyyyyy back and the guy was moaning and crying and whatnot when we were done so the person I was with and I took Mr. Loser out to the the car and proceeded to get him catatonic with some ( and I'm talking HELL **YES** ) P R I M O Colombian ( this had to be 74, 75 or so ). He gets so blitzed he started crying. Literally. Began babbling about responsibility, family, getting a job, his girlfriend, etc, etc. It was like something out of a movie. I was actually moved... not enough to give him his $$$ back of course, but hey... sometimes life is tough. It's a learning curve.

:yeah:

I guess this isnt really that weird because, well, pool players... started with I bet you 2 dollars you cant make this shot etc etc... got all the way up to a race to 5 for 64 dollars... I got paid in 31 dollars in cash and a 1 dollar scratch off winner.. and an IOU, which he made good on.
