** Homer is hustled at checkers by a chicken in one episode. The bird was apparently clever enough to lose the first few games to build up Homer's confidence.
** Homer once bulked up one of his arms and goaded his mark into an arm wrestle while keeping only his weaker arm visible.
** In [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS6E23TheSpringfieldConnection "The Springfield Connection"]] Snake hustles Homer in three-card-Monte by letting an accomplice win. Marge can tell by their obvious resemblance they're likely brothers, and exposes the game is rigged by lifting up all three cards to show they're the same.

* Naturally, this trope was used in ''Film/TheHustler1961'' with "Fast" Eddie Nelson introduced doing these sorts of hustles in small-time pool halls, traveling the country with his partner-in-crime Charlie to trick more casual pool players out of their money. But then he tries the same thing on professional pool player "Minnesota Fats" for a much larger amount of money and loses badly; most of the rest of the film deals with him working up for a rematch.
* The movie ''Film/{{Diggstown}}'' is about this: hustles, counter-hustles, and counter-counter-hustles.

* Played with in an episode of ''Series/{{Castle}}''. Beckett is at the gun range when Castle comes in to discuss their case. He asks to take a few shots and misses horribly, leading Beckett to try and help him. When he asks if he can have some photos of the crime scene, Beckett agrees to hand them over if he can land any of the next three shots inside the target. Castle promptly lands three bull's eyes and playfully tells her she's a very good teacher. Whether he was trying to goad her into a wager or just enjoying her hands-on teaching isn't clear, but the spirit of the hustle is there.

Not knowing this past, Rob invites Blackie over for dinner and plays a friendly game of billiards afterwards, claiming to be something of a pool shark. Blackie plays dumb and proceeds to take Rob to the cleaners— but refuses to collect the money Rob wagered, showing that he ''could'' still do it but now he’s a reformed character.
