sounds about right.
if I was your boy, I would have taken a phone pic of the booth, and the cop... until they offered his $ back to delete them and keep quiet

lol indeed.. but back to the op's story, your friend is a moron. there's no such thing as easy money/come ups anymore, especially when they started talking about winning multiple tv's. a saying that will never be untrue, "if it sounds too good to be true, it is".

Dude at the Fair tried to gip me once.
He was handing me darts to throw at balloons to win a prize. He made it seem like I was throwing them for practice.
So he handed me like 10 darts and said keep trying.
So I threw 10 and said forget it Im done and he was like ok $60. I said da hell? Really the F word. I was PISSED off to a point where I was literally about to break his jaw.
So I said hell nah, forget you (Insert a ton of bad words here) and walked off. No way in helll was I paying him a dime.
The next year I saw the same guy with the Darts, he was like come win your lady a Big Teddy bear, I gave him a proper FUUUU

I was at the local traveling carnival the other day. they had that basketball booth set up where you have to make a basket on a hoop higher than the regulation 10 feet, an extremely bouncy backboard, and an oval shaped hoop. it's usually like $5 for one shot at kings dominion or something but they were running a $1 per shot "special". I told the guy to cut me a deal so he said he'd give me 4 shots for $2. I made it on the 4th shot 
not sure if they get paid hourly or depending on how much money their booth makes/how many prizes they don't give away.

Sheesh, he might have to chalk that up as a loss, I mean, you knew when to walk away.
In my eyes, the only things you can really do is go to the authorities with the info you have to set up some type of sting, if you try to threaten these guys they might just up and leave.

Two dudes ran up on me and my dad as we were leaving a deli trying to sell us some premium italian leather coats. They said that they had a flight to catch and had too much weight in their luggage to bring back. Homie said he did the upholstery for Ferrari and gave me a business card. I just laughed and kept it moving.

Reminds me of these hs kids that got conned into 3 card monty.
I pulled one of the boys aside for a second, and told him to tell his friends, and that he'll literally never win. I also pointed out who was in with the man on the game and showed him he'll let him win just to get others to play, and make it seem like it's possible.
I broke the entire ******g game down, even told him to google it, and dudes still ******g played and lost 100+ bucks.

there are cheats within the cheats. such as if you win they're skilled enough to switch the card to a losing one w/o you seeing.
heres an easy way to tell ask the man if you can flip the card over yourself most will probably say no
