Paul and Alex try their luck at backgammon with controlled dice shots and hustling techniques. From: The BBC Real Hustle – Series 3, Episode 4
i wonder, if they really use two sets of dices. one for each player it would be very easy to replace them with dices that roll to your favor. that way even with a cup it wouldn’t matter… altough i have never actuly seen anyone using two sets like they to on the show.
there are techniques for that as well
this i bullsh1t
. fake propaganda
just to make it clear dices are easy to cheat with just don’t be obvious as paul to obvious every time
Actually I was an extra in this (the good looking one in the black t-shirt:), and was bursting to have a crack at one of the hustlers, but they just used the same 2 all the way through. As far as I know both the players were aware we were shooting for this programme, and having spoken to one of them afterwards I am not sure if he really understood the basics of bg money games anyway. The thing about rolling the dice by hand is right, and you would never get away with that in real tourney play.
Most Backgammon games come with a cup to throw the dice so if you’re playing with one of those sets, you obviously cannot cheat.
haha…if what the guy below says is true..the hustlers are nothing but actors, just when i started to like them..turns out their victims know what going to happen, come and learn some real tricks from the pro.
nar u can if u shave a edge
pull and alex are proffical magicans its not hard for them
its good to make people aware that some games can be rigged, but this video is so fake…
This scenario has been well timed from beginning on… Any regular player would never accept to have dice rolled like that…
LMAO i kno the guy who alex is playing lol he used to be a teacher in my primary school his name was mr.beasley lol he was a cunt
Only problem with Alex’s method: He’s likely to end up losing the 50 pounds from the earlier rounds XD
hehe good one!!
Hah “All games can be beaten”. I wanna see when they’re playing chess against chess grandmaster. I bet they can’t win ! :p
the bald guy was a chump.
that was an obvious hustle.
the bald guy? they were both bald lol
That’s why you use a dice cup so this sort of thing can’t happen.
LOL
i never seen this tv show in the us even though i know we do have it but i like the uk better.
legaly… surely not.. but that’s why they are demonstrating…
woot go hustlers!!!
Actually a person could slide the dice out of the cup but even then it would raise a red flag eventually.
I’m from a very poor area and we were never allowed to play BACK GAMMON we had to play BACK BACON…….
look at the( real hustle – rigged dice )from ffrrreeaakk
they use a dice cup
EXACTLY! I would never play a game for money without a dice cup. Some go a step futher and use a spring-lid dice cup (you have to use a finger to hold the lid down – it will spring open – than you toss them out).
I enjoy the show though! Very slick.
