Abstract: We investigate the probability of scoring a point when playing the basketball shooting game called "Horse". We show that under the Traditional Rules, it is optimal to choose very easy shots. We propose alternative rules called Pops Rules, and show that they lead to more difficult optimal shots, and thus to a more interesting game.
