    Not sure how this "game" is played. The usual way similar games work is that the carney demonstrates tossing in a few balls, coins, etc., to demonstrate how easy it is to win. The carney then takes the mark's dough, hands him a ball, coin, or whatever and watches as the poor mark clangs the item off the target. The secret is pure physics. The carney makes the toss from a few feet away. The mark is required to toss from behind a line or railing a couple of feet further away. The extra force imparted to the objected causes it to bounce off the target. Voila. Pure profit. (It just occurred to fivedollar that he should look over his shoulder for any suspicious carnival-looking types.)

    How can one invest in Tubs of Fun? Fivedollar wants to take the carney side of this transaction.
