Cover the Spot - Beat & Win Carnival Games

[DanMarik]

Ya I went to this carny game last time, and well he had game consoles up for a prize. I covered the damn spot with the discs. I was excited. He comes over and says no good, that there was a spot seen. I asked where and he pointed and pushed slightly one of the discs away from the center..... I had no proof so when I start yelling at him he said he would give me another try...

[almondbluejay]

i still can't get it right, and i swear i am doing it perfectly!

=(

[scootscoot239]

so the disks can go outside of the circle? and what if its windy outside? any tips?

[flowcircustv]

I don't know of any mistakes other than not doing exactly what I show in the video.

[lisafizz2477]

yea make a video on common mistakes bcuz my cousin lost $60 on this game at a carnival in houston.

[OutragousGaming]

thanks man, this helped me win the biggest prize at my local yearly carnival

[bl0bBLAKEbl0b]

theres a game you can play online i cant post the link just type in over the spot game

[RcUniverseGuy]

never seen this game before but i kill it at the theme park with bounce a ball lol

[UnderToday]

does anyone know if there's a cheaper place to buy this than jacks games?

[flowjuggler]

It may be both. The google tubes has the answer my friend.

[minitube17]

Is jack games a store or is it a website?

[flowjuggler]

Mine is from Jacks Games. The inner circle is a bit small (read:easy) so I'd expand it with a marker like I did.

[minitube17]

Do you know where to get the game because i am trying to practice at home and i tried to make a home repleca but it doesn't seem the same.

[sredlouh97]

there was a fair, and i went, and wasted 20 bucks on this, but if you one, you could win a ps3 or xbox, i couldnt beleive if it was true or not because it was a crappy fair, does anyone know if it is or not?

[mw2nlego]

Do you throw the discs cuz otherwise its way too easy

[UnderToday]

@mw2nlego you don't throw them, and no, it's hard as shit.

[DmytroRyzhkov]

@mw2nlego No you dont throw them, and trust me, it looks super easy but its insanely hard, ive tried it multiple times.

[TheHitman228]

Where did you get the board and discs?

[Jspeed67]

I won an Xbox 360 playing this game, did 3 trys for 30$ (10 each). They must have made their money back couple fold when I won because around 30-40 people rushed the game within minutes of me winning...

[ehmcheng]

i hate this game it actually looks so easy.

[darksouldealer]

thats good and all but they want you to drop from at least 2" so how is it done then?

[vallo3838]

What size are the disc in inches.

[YouHaveMetYourMaker]

Ok I really wish I knew about this because I could have won a PS3 a few years ago.

[mesy103]

I lost 30 bucks and and my virginity 2 this FUCKING CARNIES

[upublic]

explain why your "solution" doesn't work on the online version of it

[BlankXpresun93]

THis Game is a fucking scam nomatter how much u say practice makes perfect this video is shit nobody has a clear awnser of how to beat this fucking game unless u join some cover the spot cult lolFUCK CARNIES!!!

[BlankXpresun93]

dude i just seen my friend lose like 15 buck on this game lol now im planning my revenge!!!

[monkey505boy]

If the red spot is 185mm as specified, then the disks must be 116.2 mm to cover the spot. (Circumference divided by 5.) It doesn't seem like much, but the 115 mm disk will always leave some red showing. Then how does the carnie do it? The carnie is lenient when they do it themselves. They just ignore the tiny red part that is inevitably visible. When you do it, they are very strict. Here's proof. Play the video over, and notice there is a tiny bit of red showing at the 10 oclock position.

If the red spot is 185mm as specified, then the disks must be 116.2 mm to cover the spot. (Circumference divided by 5.) It doesn't seem like much, but the 115 mm disk will *always* leave some red showing. Then how does the carnie do it? The carnie is lenient when they do it themselves. They just ignore the tiny red part that is inevitably visible. When you do it, they are very strict. Here's proof. Play the video over, and notice there is a tiny bit of red showing at the 10 oclock position.

[monkey505boy]

Just do the math. If the red spot is 185mm as specified, then the disks must be 116.2 mm in diameter to cover the spot. It doesn't seem like much, but the 115 mm disk will always leave some red showing. If you watch the video again, he leaves some of the red showing at the 11 oclock position. Then how does the carnie do it? The carnie is lenient when they do it themselves. They just ignore the tiny red part that is inevitably visible. Then they are very strict when you do it. Simple.

[copilot10]

If ever you are about to play a carnival game, ask the carnie to succeed at it first.

[spraypaint15]

hell yeah

[pishposhjosh00]

hey do u have any tips other than this because i can win a ps3 or pocket bike if i win this at a near carnival id realllyy apreciate if u can give tips always wanted a ps3:P

[MrDLBailey]

I am a 27 year veteran of this game and am available for interviews.

[mitchqqqqqq]

i have never seen this game b4

[kinwolee]

is it 1/4 left of centre?

how do u mean?

[ShoelaceInc]

me and my 4 friends are gnna win everything at a booth, THANKS!!!!!

[Jdawg0529]

Should make a video on common mistakes on it and how to fix them.

[cmhdragon]

Just in case anyone wants to know you can get this game from Jack's Games. He covered it up in the corner.

[flowjuggler]

That's odd...I've only seen the metal versions at carnivals and fairs and never seen cardboard ones. Not doubting you just but curious, where have you seen cardboard versions?

[elencia1]

@flowjuggler Have you ever played this game at a carnival, and if so, did you win?

[Radars4sale]

@flowjuggler

sadly they stopped playing this games at most of the sixflags

Do u know if any one sells the rope only from the rope ladder game @ 6 flags

thanks

[PartOfHisPlan62]

It seems to me that the discs in the video are made of some type of aluminum or other metal. They clink when dropped. Every version of this game that I have seen uses cardboard discs which are lighter and more prone to move after landing. While the technique is the same, it is more difficult than this video shows if you have to use cardboard discs.

[goldmagistrate]

I played this game many many years ago. Never played it again. I stick to rollerball and the waterjet games...ones where you compete with other people instead of the carnie

[lilstubbs2008]

They have a 2100 dollar crotch rocket if you win. I should try for it.

[spraypaint15]

exactly man....if u get this down u can make easy cash by selling the prizes

[spraypaint15]

Yea its the one in denver at elitches. if you get the hang of it, there prizes are insane.

[kohbear16]

Bro thats the same reason im on here. i was at elitches today and saw that they give away a ps3 and stuff if you win it twice. i failed three times but i have the idea. if i learn this i wont have to work as hard this summer.

[brandon89lee]

dude they have a ps3 is you win twice!! its crazy!! im soo gonna win that shit!!

[michaelduha]

[logantheninja]

[apocalypsedudes318]

this guy once said (because i lost so much) that whenever i wanted, if i won once he would give me a 360 and ps3 mean if i paid for it each time i tried whenever i did it i would have won them .......well now we shall see who the one being bamboozled will be this time.

[SecretAsianBoi]

what happened?

[apocalypsedudes318]

we ran out of money. well we only had 8 to begin with. but the next i go. i will win them. thats why im watching these carni vids, so i can finaly win something.

[rapby33444]

they probably switch disks, but im gona try this technique and get back at a carnie for takin $50 of a kid from my schools money

[badgerfan12a]

are you kidding me? You should delete this stupid video.

[bcrichwarlockrevenge]

Do you know if in the carnival if they switch the disks after they show you how to do it? It would seem that to make money, they would use bigger disks then switch them out.

[flowjuggler]

I recently checked out a carnival that came to town and they carnie did some sort of switch. I didn't catch a close look as I was quickly passing through, but he clearly made overt gestures to the prizes behind him as misdirection as he did something with the discs. I was going to try to make it back and catch it with my flipcam but never did.

[N30NZ0MB13]

@bcrichwarlockrevenge No, at least where I've worked they haven't. If you get caught doing any thing like that you get in a shit ton of trouble and have to leave. And most people working the carnival don't want to risk that because they don't live any where near the place they are at.

[extremeterry]

@bcrichwarlockrevenge I KNOW FOR A FACT they do not swich disc its hard enought

[MATTSTELA]

i've never seen this game before lol

[TheEllusionistman]

thank you their is this fair and if u cover the spot u get a ps3!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i ganna win

[flowjuggler]

This is the only game I know how to beat. Sorry.  P

[killahghostface15]

[thecapone45]

i know it was a long time ago u posted this commet, but u can find some of those vids on 'the real hustle" shows, i have some of those for fair games on my channel favs, there on pg 4 or 5 i think u can check them out if u want

[Chamredonenumber5]

thank u so much!!

[fordsman07]

revorse order?

[theUnkleK]

hey, anyone know what the sizes are for the discs at Elitch Gardens (used to be six flags) in colorado? i've been searching everywhere but they all have different sizes. about the same ratio but entirely different sizes. your discs are 11.5 cm but on a different video they are 7. I was just curious if there was an official size as well

[skistud9990]

Hey did you ever find out what the specifications for the Elitc Gardens discs and board are? I can't believe the prizes they have! It would really pay off to learn how to do that!

[rumboolius]

i was there and i saw somebody win an ipod so its possible

[TGuybrush]

Hi... May i know where can i buy those disks? Please! tnx

[ray1232123]

sick- nice job!

but i never saw that before..
