Talk:Hustling

message: Can anyone explain how this works? I mean, if I entered into a verbal agreement with a stranger in a pool hall, that the loser would pay the winner money, and anything unexpected happened (or even if I just won fair and square), I severely doubt that person would pay when they could just as easily walk away without paying. There's no way to enforce payment, as gambling isn't legal anyway, and you can't prove you had any form of binding agreement.

replies: text: Well, go trying welching on a bet a dingey pool hall and see what happens. PS: Needless to say, hustling itself carries similar risks, since people don't like being tricked out of their money. — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont]  ‹(-¿-)› 06:13, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

message: In hip hop culture a Hustling can just mean "selling things" these things could be illeagal, or they could be found objects and trash. Hustling is making a living in any way that you can. Is there room for this definition here?

message: Or just a huge link repository. I'm hesitant about removing some of it since it is such a neat list but wholly unnecessary. We could cut the gristle and it wouldn't hurt the article's integrity. Thoughts? Stateofyolandia (talk) 10:51, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Notable section reads like trivia 

message: So far the article only really talks about pool, with a passing mention of hustling in other sports. Would other sports be notable enough to warrant mention (I know of chess hustling, for instance). If so, the article should be rewritten to give a more general overview instead of talking solely about pool. If not, the article should be written and phrased to only talk about pool.
