Man lost life savings trying to win Xbox in carnival game!!! | |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 21807384  United States04/30/2013 05:44 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation |  A New Hampshire man says his trip to the carnival was a horror show where he ended up losing his life savings. He claims he was conned at a carnival game. Henry Gribbohm says he lost his life savings - $2,600 - on a carnival game, and all he has to show for it is a stuffed banana with dreadlocks. "You're expecting to win a few things, let the kids have a good time. It just didn't turn out that way," Gribbohm said. Gribbohm said he attended a Manchester carnival run by Fiesta Shows and wanted to win an Xbox Kinect at a game called "Tubs of Fun," where contestants toss balls into a tub.

User ID: 39029576 United States04/30/2013 06:41 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The tubs are a flat store, meaning it can't be won. If you ever see a game at the carnival that has electronics for prizes its a flat store. The guy probably isn't that dumb, he just got hussled. People lose that much money on flat stores because the agent keeps telling them that once they win they will get all they're money back. The tubs are childs play compared to Razzle Dazzle games. A Razzle really will take your life savings.. |

All the shit is rigged so odds are against you. Dude should have known that. I would not have even taken more than $50 to a carnival anyway. |
