2022-02-16 08:34:29 +0000 UTCI wonder if the craps are casino or street rules?

2022-02-15 03:07:16 +0000 UTCSeconding (thirding?) classic casino games, as well as classic board games like chess and backgammon. You could also go the obscure historical route and try things like Ur or Hnefatafl, which would be more of a teaching episode than an entertainment episode like Liar's Dice (which was awesome!).

2022-02-14 18:40:32 +0000 UTCIf you do Euchre, you need to get a genuine Hoosier or Michiganer that knows both the rules and the established cheat methods.

2022-02-14 16:25:12 +0000 UTCJames Bond plays Baccarat/Chemin-de-Fer against Le Chiffre in Casino Royale. The book also has an interesting looking Roulette strategy which enriches Bond. In the book Moonraker, Bond rigs a card deck so that the villain thinks that he has the perfect Bridge hand. In true "Diamond Jim" style it is a misleading hand that allows Bond to win the round.

2022-02-14 16:13:40 +0000 UTCFeel like these are more scamschool episodes than MR but I suppose casino's fit in the gentleman or scoundrel categories
2022-02-14 16:12:45 +0000 UTCI went backgammon because aside from knowing it's the game on the other side of the checker board, I have no idea what it is

2022-02-14 16:07:32 +0000 UTCI agree with wood chuck chuck - Maybe a series on the classic casino games- there's gotta be a reason 007 plays baccarat.
2022-02-14 16:02:13 +0000 UTCI would say chess, dominoes, blackjack or poker
