Bookmaker's Hold'em:

Found an old thread on Blonde describing this game seems like a fun bournemouth roll type game (although obv inferior):

a game for 4 to 5 players

5 Hold Em Hands are dealt face up

in turn each hand is assigned "odds", always as follows:

Evens

2/1

3/1

5/1

8/1

So the first hand out is always evens, last hand always 8/1

each player Takes it in turn to deal, and is the bookmaker

player to dealers left gets first choice of which hand he wishes to back...and then it goes in turn amongst the other non dealers (each player has to back a different hand can't all pile on AA at 8-1).

the community cards are dealt, as in Hold Em, at the end of the hand the bookie is paid or pays accordiing to the result

next hand, next player is bookie and so on

Very addictive, very funny...but please...cap your stakes!!!

Joint winners = halved odds I think

Mango - please organise a degen gambling night at the plex during the gala fest.
