Rewrite

My God, this article is completely wrong. As written, it sounds like a sales pitch the scamster running the razzle would use. I am doing a complete rewrite. 69.142.21.24 07:34, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Recent razzle

I just stopped at a carnival on Long Island, NY. There was a razzle that involved rolling golf balls on wood into pegs guarded by rubber bands. Possible prizes were iPods, Playstation 3s, Xboxes. The price to play was 10 bucks, and I immediately knew was a scam, thanks to the news a while back. The news showed undercover of a razzle where at a certain point, after the price to play elevated, the prize was for $600+. Funny enough, when I first walked up the operator said to somebody on the phone "Jim, uh, we've got a customer." After I walked away, he then said "Nevermind, he left".

horrible article

this article still suffers from the same problems that were addressed in 2006, i am copy pasting an older version that is much more fairly written and leaving the errors for someone else to fix. a flawed fair version is much better than a completely biased yet grammatically correct description. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.247.127.52 (talk) 08:42, 24 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Should this article be locked?

As it stands, it is far too easy for some scammer to come along and remove all traces of this game's fraudulent nature...which is what someone did. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.191.227.94 (talk) 03:01, 10 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This game has NEVER ONCE been ran honestly

If it was ever actually ran honestly, no one would ever score a single point, and people would realize it was a scam right off the bat. You only earn any points because the operator miscounts in your favor. Even a 1 in a thousand chance would be too risky with the odds that are usually offered. EVERY fair roll/toss scores zero points, or hits the evil double number (traditionally 29). where both the prize and your bet are doubled. Once you get really close, the miscounting stops. You just keep hitting that doubler, and 0 point totals. Eventually, you can't make that bet, and you give up. 74.211.58.201 (talk) 04:51, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Flattie/last paragraph

Nowhere is it explained what "flattie" means. And the whole last paragraph makes no sense whatsoever. Turkeyphan^t 00:16, 19 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The article should give a specific example of just how a Razzle game is played.

The extremely vague description currently in the article is wholly inadequate.2600:1700:E1C0:F340:6C23:D281:2C14:A598 (talk) 23:16, 27 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
