Warning! Usually found in busy tourist areas like near the market or the seafront, you'll spot a crowd of people around an upturned box, 3 hollowed out potato shells and a ball or something underneath. The game is simple, to guess which potato the ball is under by watching closely as they are shuffled. Bets are made by the crowd and they always win (as they are in on it too), then, when the crowd builds up an unsuspecting tourist will bet their money and lose. in the meantime the pick pockets will have emptied the pockets of the rest of the people in the crowd, and off they will go. Another hard days work for them, they must make a fortune!! but don't let them make it out of you. Just walk on by.
