Well I ain't no "Teach"...(some posters will remember him)....and you've probably mis-interpreted that I was in some of those in the book....probably not...but I do have some bowling hustling stories...
My fondest...the mechanic at our establishment was an Ok arrogant right hander who was not above rigging the lanes...(ie...oil patterns) the most common thing of course...he once shot 879 on a pair he set up perfectly for his style and ruined a good tourneyment that was going on monthly...it was so obvious...every-one quit going and that was that...
We also had some pretty high dollar pot games going weekly...in general he had to keep that fairly level....Now I'm a lefty/southpaw (when it comes to bowling)...and in general we have it rougher...except when we don't...then we have a distinct advantage...so one night...I won 3 times and another lefty won twice...nobody was happy of course...after all...Righties are 7/1 ratio and they pay the bills...
I knew what was going to happen the next week...the left side would be flooded with no shot...period...it was expected and understood...normally I wouldn't have even bothered to show up....but I had been practicing for THIS EXACT scenerio for a year...(mind you...for big money tourney's...not a local pot game...still tho)...I was really the only serious tourney bowler around...
Anyways....long story short....I shot 300 the 1st game...and everybody quit...it was pretty awesome...
