Is this the one where you have to throw something, pick up a stick and catch what you threw in the air, then add a stick and repeat until you drop a stick or the thing you threw. Could be wrong.

Seen kids play at school, didn't know it was played for money.

Maybe uses sticks instead of money and parked moto somewhere else in case of a raid, no cash or moto's lost.
