Useful was spending 3 years a highschool milking people playing nearest to the wall. Me and friend went halfs and proper took loads from the same people day after day. I learnt not to listen to other people and their opinions, trust your own instincts.

Was this the throwing coins at wall game? I loved this myself, and made some good money out of it Smiley

the nearest to the wall picked all coins up shook them and called heads or tails and kept whatever landed that way?

bet it would be fun with £1's today we done it with 10p's

We didn't have any of this heads or tails stuff. Nearest coin scooped the lot.

What did you do with the coins that you didn't guess right?

are you serious, i though this game was a must for guys growing up.

lets say there are 10 players, meaning £10 in the game, everyone throws to the wall, the guy who is closest flips them all at the same time and calls 'heads' or 'tails', he keeps all the ones he called correct, in this instance he got 4 correct, the remaining £6 moves onto the guy who came2nd closest to the wall, he flips/calls/collects, any coins he misses moves onto the 3rd closest to the wall, who flips/calls/collects......and so on till all coins are called correctly

haha aye used to love this game! for some reason in greenock it was called pap

deffo have to have this at the next BB

£2 coins FTW

Does everyone play the rule that you cannot actually hit the wall or you are disqualified ?

Not heard that before but we used to get our money back if 1 coin hit another. Would be soul destroying when you had an unbeatable lie and the last guy to chuck chings. Game was called penny push btw (regardless of stakes)

haha aye used to love this game! for some reason in greenock it was called pap

I went to Holy Cross High, in Hamilton. The Hamilton guys called it Jingles, but my and my mates from Uddingston called it Chippie!

Either way it bought my Bottle of Merry Down and 4 cans that Saturday night!
