It would only make sense if you could exactly replicate the game at the carnival as differences in ball weight etc matter. However, I used to work the muzzies as a kid and they over-inflate the ball so that it bouces easily. Try it with a football and blow it up hard and you’ll see what I mean. Then the bucket is at an angle so that along with an over-inflated ball it has the most chance of flying out again. As with cricketers and basketball players you can spin a ball to influence its path. You can spin it left or right so that when it hits its target the spin will cause it to fly in that direction.
