Whois & Analysis for earhustlesq.com

Hustling is the deceptive act of disguising one's skill in a sport or game with the intent of luring someone of probably lesser skill into gambling (or gambling for higher than current stakes) with the hustler, as a form of both a confidence trick and match fixing.

It is most commonly associated with, and originated in, pool (and to an extent other billiards-family games), but also can be performed with regard to other sports and gambling activities.

Hustlers may also engage in ""—distracting, disheartening, enraging, or even threatening their opponents—to throw them off.

Hustlers are thus often called "pool sharks" (compare "card shark").

Professional and semi-pro hustlers sometimes work with a ""—a person who provides the money for the hustler to bet with (and who may assist in the hustling)—in exchange for a substantial portion of all winnings.

Another form of hustling (often engaged in by the same hustlers who use the skill-disguising technique) is challenging (swindle targets) to bet on trick shots that seem nearly impossible but at which the hustler is exceptionally skilled.

A prison, correctional facility, detention center, jail (gaol in dated British English), penitentiary (sometime used in American English) or remand centre is a facility in which inmates are forcibly confined and denied a variety of freedoms under the authority of the state as a form of punishment after being convicted of crimes.

Prisons are most commonly used within a criminal justice system: people charged with crimes may be imprisoned until they are brought to trial; those pleading or being found guilty of crimes at trial may be sentenced to a specified period of imprisonment.

Besides their use for punishing civil crimes, jails and prisons are frequently used by authoritarian regimes.
