Pub Game
Standing at the bar tonight in the King's Arms the following game evolved - I'm sure it has a name and history but we just made it up on the spot...
One player is the House, one the punter. The House puts up ten coins of different denominations, which add up to say to £4.90, he offers the punter the chance to buy two coins for a pound. The choice of coins to be chosen by the punter writing down two numbers and putting down his Quid; then the House lays out his coins in an prearranged pattern. I.E. coin to the left is number one, up to number ten on the right. Open the folded bit of paper revealing the punters choice and whether he chose the two pound coin and the fifty pence or the the two pennies. Strangely addictive and as you play it you start to get more confident and offering better odds. I was laying down £5.50 to get a pound bet because I reckoned I could beat the punters guesses. I think I ended the evening up.
