Ever hustle/win a lot against someone in an arcade?

Anyone gamble back in the day? Im just curious, I know the fighting game community is very very pro gambling and theres a lot of money that gets tossed around. got any cool stories? watch some ass kickings?
 
Not with arcades... When I was in H.S. my Dad took me on a ski trip with a bunch of his buddies to Colorado. The place we stayed had an indoor pool, hot tub, and a ping-pong table. One night one of my Dad's friends got a bit drunk and started betting everyone that they couldn't beat me at ping-pong. He made a decent amount of money that night, enough to pay for our lift-tickets the next 2 days... ;)
 
After beating a couple of guys playing they called me and buddy hustlers and kept looking at us. So we went over and played a pinball. These guys started moving toward us in a less than freindly way so we left a pool hall. Got in the car and I could still hear the pinball adding the bonus points thru the open door as we started the car and drove off. I decided then I was not going to "hustle" anyone in the future.
 
An old friend and I did some hustlin many,many times during the hayday of MK and SF. We would bait them by playing horrible the first round,after that they were thoroughly humiliated for the remaining rounds of the game. They had no idea that we were both ranked in the top 5 for SF and MK in Maryland lol

Back in College we would race eachother at San Francisco Rush to see who was buying the beers that night. Does that count ?
