I like the part that he actually showed us how to win

The operator dropped it from like 2 inches above the bottle and it still bounced out  0:30

Since we want the ring the fit into the bottle, the ring must then always land in a way a cowboys hoop catches the cows head.

The trick is the hold the ring with 3 fingers and throw it and spin it at the same time. By spinning it, it will give the ring angular momentum and will land on the bottle the right way. Ideally, you want the rings falling straight into the bottle but that's impossible since you would have to throw it infinitely high. So instead, you want to aim at the rings closest to you since the further the ring, the bigger arc you would have to cast.

I'm pretty sure the selection of the prizes at that particular carnival game should say a lot about how difficult it is to actually win one of said prizes.

I won a giant 5ft dog one time. Was able to get it on one of only 3 red bottles. I was there for only a few minutes and spent a dollars. Got lucky I guess. The lady that ran the booth was so mad at me. I remember flinging it rather then tossing the rings. 😃 🙏🏽❤️

What if you tossed it forward at an upward angle so that the "front" is elevated and the "back" is lower. This will allow at minimum, the inside of the back ring to hit a bottle top first, and hopefully secure the other half around it. You wouldn't even need to spin it.

Hi Mike, If you're still around, could you please tell me where to get these rings and what size they are sir? Thank you in advance!

This is pointless and misleading. The only thing worth mentioning is this is a nice ring toss setup and the guy is not a creepy carny.

I won it first try and the operator or whatever didnt believe so she checked the camaras and i said fuck you and left

[creekandseminole]

Why not just throw the entire bucket all at once?

[jacksonsudderth]

I got it on my second try and won a guitar

[elizabethdiaz]

[danielhoward]

puts 2 rings on the bottles and says "as you can see every ring fits on every bottle" NO YOUR WRONG

[FishingSamk]

It's easier to throw it like a frisbee
