Shell game street scam

[@chewba2008]

They're at least 5 or 6 accomplices to scam people here pretending to play as a simple tourist...

[@Greenfarmer25]

Really doesn't matter because the ball is always in his hand! But you're right at least 2-3 more people involved!

[@NikolaB93]

6 more people involved

[@musllm]

These people are so, so dodgy. The facial expressions, body language, tone of voice just screams "scum".

[@ambidexmed]

True :D

[@randymun7138]

He starts off with playing with his own gang to tempt the crowd. It is always the same few guys playing until they gat a sucker.

[@nicholas_scott]

i love the new location magically has the exact same "winners"

[@mindofmayhem.]

Love the actor in the leather coat. 5 stars for the 7 person team.

[@AndroidZeus-ly6qq]

70 % ppl around are the same team , the rest is a victim 😂😂😂🤕

[@BeyondAverageSkilled]

i just cant imagine how they can be so calm stealing other people's money

[@flammaferus2998]

They are greedy bastards for money and they steal from people who are also greedy for money, .....so there is no pity for the losers....and most importantly, the police act slowly and can't do anything to them. "political correctness" 😂

[@sexydudeuk2172]

@@flammaferus2998 well theres no pity for thieves either as they are just as greedy. thieving bastards like them should get off their asses and work for money rather then steal it. People like them deserve to be in jail

I mean its your choice to bet

[@scottstaggers7258]

Noone is holding a gun to their head. It's called gambling. You win some you lose some.

[@Durwood71]

@@scottstaggers7258 No, it's a scam. You will never win.

[@mitchellminer9597]

Real short version: They would not be out on the street doing this if they lost money at it. (Same as big, fancy casinos wouldn't be built if they lost money.) Slightly short version: Never play the other person's game. The player has been playing for possibly their whole life, and you have been watching for a whole minute.

[@dudey1208]

Omg every city in Europe these scammers with same tactics

[@James_Bowie]

They let a shill win.

[@monique10j]

4:31 the girl playing has a ball in her hand just prior to turning over the cup. She wins as she is in on the scam. At 5:00 he returns the ball under the cup, after the tourist lost his money.

[@Broncstale]

that is not a tourist, he is part of the band.

[@sothenisay9673]

Only way to win : pay him double and choose the 2 cups that DO NoT have the ball! When he is cheating, the 3rd cup is empty also.. you might wanna bring some friends when you do this tho' ; )

[@devo5942]

I saw that video as well.

[@SaadYoichi]

Huh

[@Hydrus808]

no the best thing to do here is to use fake money

[@lot10games]

Ball is not in the cups. There are sponge balls and they keep in their hands.Not just one ball. trick is simple

4:00 Notices camera, looks around 360 degrees, then packed up lol

[@JayCeeMax]

Very interesting. Good job exposing them mate.

[@accdee-ei1tb]

Can you help me with the name of the person who is moving the cups? I think he was in paris

[@MultiVillaMaravilla]

From that group of people, minimum half are friends, associates and they always win. This game was popular 30 years ago in Romania, where this guys are coming.. Take care, better drink one coffee and continue your trip.

[@slotplayer4232]

Hi, I'm planning to do educational KZbin video on how this scam works so to warn people here in Croatia. Do you mind if I use parts of your video for it?

[@FaridKhan-yx6dl]

Romania has phd in scam 😄

[@JackOfAllTrades0404]

@1:04 was the lady on the black jacket who’s in on it trying to pick the tourists pockets and then act casual when she got up quicker than she anticipated?

[@oslvideo]

No, I don't think so. I never saw them picking pockets.

[@jobizoo86]

Hard to tell but this game is known to have pick pockets in the group

[@SoulFlavor18]

She was going to flip the actual cup to pretend like she knows where “winners” are but the grifter did it quicker

[@jimmyfingers227]

They do have pick pockets around, people in group watch closely where you take out or put your money to. They are pro thieves

[@normchel8179]

Lol even the person whistling by is in on it lol sounded like something from a movie 🤣

[@remag94]

He probably left because he noticed the camera.

[@SadalDay]

2:57 Are they playing for free because the guy gives back the same exact amount after he won lol

[@kazimierz1032]

no, they don't.. men gave give one bill to hand where was already one bill, so 1x2=2. so when he won he gave him winnings

[@theselfproclaimedretrogame9383]

hahaha!!

[@sexydudeuk2172]

anyone who wins money is in on the scam

I have seen this done in different countries....can anyone give me a clear, simple explanation as to how they do this trick?

[@BeNZoJosh]

I’d walk buy and be like damn, y’all are always out here gambling. You girls have a serious problem.

[@drewfranklin6424]

2 things: The older lady in the purple jacket, the lady in the black jacket and the guy in the black leather jacket are part of the scam, because at the 4:18 mark when they switch locations, all three are there. Last thing is I'm dying of laughter at the guy in the blue jacket got his money taken THREE times. Haha, what an idiot.

[@Peaches.99999]

The guy with blue jacket hes with them too. 1) money are going around them all the time 2) people to be little aware they can lose (but in same time make the people think they cant be 'stupid' as the guy in blue

[@arod7619]

Don't gamble then I know your type

[@be236]

At 4:48, when that guy opened the middle cup and it was empty, he could have turned open the other two cups and show everyone there is no ball at all in any cup (it's in the scammer's hand), to expose this scammer and demand his money back??

[@Durwood71]

Nah. His accomplices would likely create a distraction. Once you hand over your money, it's gone. You're never getting it back.

[@FenerBahce-vy9xx]

are you kidding? he is his accomplice :D

[@wicked9168]

Did any body noticed that this guy keeps pulling his pants up all time 😂😂

[@seaturtledog]

For the whole video only the scamers played. I would like to see the take of the victim. You will notice the ones that pick who are in on it and wrong leave the cup turned up so that the next sucker would think he has the right one for sure or at least 50% chance.

[@oslvideo]

No, the one who plays at 1:00 is a tourist, she is not part of the scammer gang.

[@SadalDay]

"would think he has the right one for sure or at least 50% chance." is accurate though

[@chugchug5657]

The only thing I see is crack

[@velizarmitrev7510]

But what if you do the following. Since he obviously hides the ball in his hand so he can manipulate from which cup the ball is going to come out. When he asks where is the ball can't you go turn over two of the cups and say "the ball is neither in this cup nor in this cup which leaves the only possible position of the ball to be in the only cup that is not turned over" this way he has to pretend like the ball is really there because if he doesn't do it everyone which isn't on the scam will see that its a scam. Never tried it but its a possible solution to fuck up someone that scams like this.

[@oslvideo]

The best way to hassle them is simply to take out your phone and start filming them. They will fold and move on. There is no way you can beat them at the game: They will never ever pay money to you.

money is a powerful tool

[@robbietheking69]

this is a classic trick my mom told me she got into it after one of the "group" lend her some money to start playing, at start she won so the next step was to double the winning, but my mom just was walking out with the easy win when they grab her and force to give back money.... years later I saw a "group" of tricksters and I thougth about the thing happened to my mom I wanted to kick ass just to let the thought flow, but I didn't

Sorry this happened to your mom, people like them can be very dangerous and hopefully your mom is alright

[@robbietheking69]

@@hawilost thx pal, since my mom left the money everything flew good, this is a thing to think about, as in the nature you have the law: anything goes to reach the best result with less effort, to leave the money was the fastest way to handle that predicament and my not doing anything in adultness is the same.

The money could have been donated to a good cause rather then thieving bastards stealing for their own selfish needs. Whjat they are dong here is no different to pickpocketing. If you think people who play this game deserve to lose their money then these thieves deserve to be in jail.

[@라일라스따일]

Does a participant pay a Euro to play and get the Euro back when he guesses correct? It does not look enticing.

[@oslvideo]

It costs about EUR 60 to guess. However, anyone who is not in the gang will never win, and the scammers can pocket the money.

[@라일라스따일]

Right. Thank you for your reply.

Yea I don’t get it, all they get to keep is their own money if the win? Even if it’s a scam they should fake a payout right?
