Party Boat pool "irregularity"?

[Madcrab]

Here is one when the mate collects all the fares and pool money. Instead of going directly to the captain, he makes a detour to closed door room. After ten minutes he appears and go up to the captain. Fishy!

How about when the mate and captain sell their catches to the fishermen. And if one of the fish is a pool winner. The captain and mate split the pool. And use that fisherman name for the winner of the pool.

A mate will let the fisherman a free pass on the pool but if he caught the pool fish, the mate gets to keep the pool prize.

The best way is the way Frances Fleet does it. The fare and pool is collected at the shop, pool money has to be cash. The fare's names are written on the paper, Next to the names will be a check mark for the pool. The pool money is wrapped by the list names and it's handed to the captain. When there is a pool fish the mate will ask for your pool ticket. When it is a close call the Captain makes the final call
