Dude blows $2,600 on carnival game.

Trying to win an XBox Kinect.... which is what, $100?

The 30-year-old from Epsom says he kept trying to win back his money by going double or nothing. He dropped $300 in just a few minutes, then says he went home to get $2,300 more and soon lost all of that as well.

“You just get caught up in the whole ‘I’ve got to win my money back.’”

Ummm....
It's not me, it's someone else.

I read this the other day. Also, $2600 was his "life savings."

He should have been too embarrassed to go to police with that.

How do you not know those games are rigged? How do you not figure it out until after you've blown through $2600?

What I really want is an interview with the person who ran the booth. At some point, if he didn't start feeling guilt, he needs to be shot in the back of the head because he's obviously a serial killer.

No. But then when faced with someone this stupid, how could anyone resist taking his money?
