6 easy-to-learn and fun betting games

Here are some easy-to-learn and fun betting games that you can enjoy with friends or family:

1. Liar’s Dice (Dice game): Each player has a set of dice and a cup to conceal them. Players take turns making bids about the total number of a certain face value on all the dice in play. Opponents can either raise the bid or challenge the current bid as a lie. The loser of a challenge loses one die, and the game continues until only one player has dice remaining.
2. Acey-Deucey (Card game): Also known as In-Between, this game involves players betting on whether the value of a third card will fall between the values of two previously drawn cards. If the third card’s value falls outside the range or matches one of the two original cards, the player loses their bet.
3. Three Card Monte (Card game): A simple betting game where the dealer shows three cards face-down, one of which is the target card (usually a queen). The dealer shuffles the cards, and players must bet on which card they believe is the target card. The dealer then reveals the chosen card, and the player wins if their bet was correct.
4. Left, Center, Right (LCR) (Dice game): This game is played with three special six-sided dice, each marked with “L” (left), “C” (center), “R” (right), and a single dot on three faces. Players take turns rolling the dice and pass their chips according to the roll results. The last player with chips wins.
5. Red Dog (Card game): Players place an initial bet, and the dealer places two cards face up. If the cards are consecutive in rank or are a pair, the hand is a push, and the bet is returned. If the cards are not consecutive or a pair, players can raise their bet, and the dealer draws a third card. If the third card falls between the values of the first two cards, the player wins; otherwise, they lose.
6. Shut the Box (Dice game): A traditional pub game played with a box numbered 1-9 and two dice. Players take turns rolling the dice and “shutting” the box’s numbers based on the roll’s total. The goal is to shut all the numbers, and players can bet on who will have the lowest remaining total after each round.

Remember to always gamble responsibly and only bet what you can afford to lose. These games should be played for fun and entertainment purposes.
