GAMBLING

Gambling is one of the more popular hustles in prison, and many do it with great success. You can gamble on everything from sports to card game to who will win big brother. Hell, you could go outside to the recreation yard, snatch up two praying mantises, put them both in an empty Folgers jar with holes pocked in the lid so they can breathe, the bet on which one will eat the other. Trust and believe, one will eat the other.

Gambling is such a large topic that I obviously cannot explain every facet of its techniques and strategies here in one chapter. However, I will show you how to run a pool (amongst other things), have greater odds at winning, and make a pretty penny doing it; hopefully you can then take the concepts and apply them in a broader fashion.

Running a pool:

There are numerous pools that you can run, especially when it comes to sports. And you will never have a shortage of participants, because if there are two things most people in prison love, it’s gambling and sports. Running a pool is something you can do with no currency at all; and, to be honest, I know several prisoners who make their entire living out of this hustle. Now, while this concept can be applied to many different things, for the purpose of my example I am going to use the NFL.

The way the game is played:

There’s 16 weeks per season in the NFL. To start the pool you have to have the season’s line-up. You get a blank piece of paper, write down the line-up for week one, and title it “week #1. You also always need there to be one game as the tie breaker. The person buying/playing the tickers will circle. Whichever teams he things will win, including the tie breaker game, and then he’ll write in his prediction of what the final combines score will be of the two tie breaker teams. That’s what the tie breaker score is – the total amount of point combined between both teams at the end of the game. For example, if the San Francisco 49ers wins 29-27, the then tie breaker score would be 56.

It’s best to either use the Sunday or Monday night game as that week’s tie breaker, and even separate it from the rest of the games by putting a line above it, so it’s at the bottom of the ticker by itself. So, if the tie breaker game is the San Francisco 49ers versus the Oakland raiders, it would be written like this: SF @ Oak TB:___________. You always want to have the visitors on the left side of the paper, and the home team on the right side. The line after the “TB:” is so that people can write in their TB score.

The reason it is so important to have a tie breaker is because the odds are high that at least two players will have the same amount of wins at the end of the week.
