Jimmy has his eyes on a baseball game on TV and you watch him cheer to his favorite team. And then his team won. You ask him if he has money on the game. He told you he had and its $500.

Look out on Jimmy, if he has the same satisfied smirk on his face like the way he had during the baseball game then most probably that he has a big hand. A very good tell that will be beneficial to you.
