Tricks and Scams

Christmas time can become an expensive time fore nearly everyone with having to buy everyone presents, and then there are all of those party’s and gatherings to go to and sometimes you may wonder how you are going to afford your next drink. Here’s a sneaky proposition bet where you can most of the time (usually 99% of the time) its so easy anyone can do it, and anyone can fall for it, so here goes.

Make a bet with your friend telling they you are going to ask them 5 questions, but for each question you ask they must answer each one INCORRECTLY! If they manage to answer each question WRONG you will buy them a drink, but on the other hand if they answer even one of the questions right they have to buy you a drink! Start off by asking some simple questions like the ones below.

1. What color suit does santa clause wear?
2. What is traditional when two people stand under mistletoe?
3. In what month is Christmas celebrated?
4. How many doors are usually on an advent calendar?

at this point stop and ask..”are we on question 3 or 4″

Most of the time they will answer “four” and at this point try not to let an enormous grin appear across your face when you reply “that is correct, you owe me a drink!”

Occasionally some people be aware that you are trying to catch them out and will answer wrongly (correctly) to the last question. If this happens, look disappointed and deflated and say “have you played this before” at this point most people will have let their guard down and answer Correctly and at this point you have scammed yourself a drink.

If after all of this they still haven’t “cracked” buy your friend a drink, they deserve it!
