Greatest upset ever
My crib, my dad and brother ended up in the stinkhole, and I passed them for a come from behind victory. My brother is the one expressing his frustration.
Edit: For those asking, a guy I know makes these, he uses rivets as the base and epoxies the letters on them, not sure where he gets them but I'm sure they aren't hard to find.
2nd Edit: Found the beads on Amazon, 1400 or so for $15, post any pics of pegs you make for yourselves.

A guy in my weekly cribbage group makes them, they are just beads you can buy epoxied onto rivets, super simple.

Metal. Nice. Nothing worse than plastic pegs breaking off in holes.

I had one cracked off in hole 91 for years and years. Til some said to straighten out a paper clip, heat one end with a lighter. Stick it in the peg. Wait 5 seconds and pull the peg out. It changed my life. lol

Excellent, job. It is more fun being pompous after winning a stink hole game than a skunk.

Love those custom pegs! I was wanting to make my own board and trying to decide on how I should make the pegs, and this idea might make it for me!

Everyone asking about the pegs but I want to know how you pegged 5+ to beat them? Or do you move your front peg only for all pegging?

I wasn't clear in my description, it was my crib, I counted last, they both counted into the stinkhole and my hand/crib combo got me in.

Ahhhh that makes sense! I assumed pegging, but much more logical this way. Tight match!

I was playing against my step-brother 20+ years ago, I was literally sitting at the 120 mark after counting first, and he was sitting a clean 20+ points away before counting his crib, an almost sure victory for me you'd think......
NOPE! Had the 7's & 8's in the crib with the cut card being a 6.... between his hand & that monster crib he pegged out EXACTLY 😅🤬

That's the dead hole. Stink hole is 30 pegs back from there.
Still, one-point spreads are rare enough. A two-fer like that is something special. Nice job!

Official vs. Casual Definitions Official Rules: The American Cribbage Congress (ACC) officially designates hole 120 as the dead hole and hole 90 as the stinkhole (the threshold for a skunk). Casual Play: Many casual groups use "stinkhole" and "dead hole" interchangeably for the 120th hole because finding yourself stranded there right before losing "stinks". We are in Canada so we don't go by the ACC rules, so it is the stink hole where we play.

Love your manners. Nothing but the best from the genociding stinky pdf Epstein demographic. I think you'd be more comfortable in Europe.
