    while they are conning you this way, the rest of the gang are robbing your wife's bag or picking your pocket as well!!

      I lost €60 euros to them when I was young. But I learnt from that, they had a British person in their gang playing and he's the person who wins, which makes you think "I can do it" but he's with them!.
      There is usually 5/6 of them, keeping a look out for cops.
      Learn by your mistakes.
      Same as the beggers, go to the old town on a night and they have all the best cloths on, couldn't believe it.
      Thanks for the info 👌

    Thanks for that, you did a grand job of explaining it. It was a bit like watching Paul Daniels.
    I liked it, but not a lot! :-D

    I love watching the process. The family and friends involved...the spotters...once I counted at least 12 people involved including the spotters.

    Another one is where three girls will 'accidently' bump into you knocking you over. The doormen outside the club will rush over to help you to your feet while your pockets are being picked by one of the girls. This happened to my brother, who thought he was streetwise. One guy I spoke to was waiting outside a restaurant and saw this happen three times in the space of a few hours.

    If anyone wins it’s their accomplices and one watches out and signals when police are around

  • @Webowebo8
    @Webowebo8 8 лет назад +6

    Thanks for posting this, not that I'd entertain these robbers, but decent of you to put this out there for the people that might, been to Benidorm once, did enjoy it and would go back, but would also look out for these guys, just to watch them, knowing what I now know :-)

    @colshythecomedian 7 лет назад +3

    I want to know why you bought 3 potatoes when you could have bought 2 and still had 3 ends, or 4 if you want. If you buy 3 you have 6 potato ends!

    Why did you buy 3 potatoes when you were only using one and a half? You could have saved yourself some money there.

  • @booth2710
    @booth2710 7 лет назад +3

    It's a waste of potatoes. They could be making chips with them ...

    I was caught bad by the potato men in Benidorm. It said outside the chip shop Fresh Fish and Chips. That'll do for me, in i go. Well neither the fish or potatoes were fresh, i was well and truly hooked, in fact…….wait a minute….it's different potato men here isn't it?

  • @adamsmith6594
    @adamsmith6594 Год назад

    The way to thwart it is ... place the bet and then when they ask you to choose ... thank them and shake their hand quickly. Get the pea and lift up a potato. Or kick the box across the street.

    Thanks for the tutorial. Is there a course I could go on to be a pea and potato manager? And do you have any drawings on how to make the cushion board thing and how do you cut the potato bits? Finally how do you make the pea thing? It’s not a real pea is it?
