Does beer count?

No. Not that I can remember anyway. Even with beverages, we tend to just buy rounds so there is no opportunity for "sport" there.

Only on chariot races

In milieu betting has been part of some games I have run, but nothing among players.

I've bet the loser buys the winner a beer at the pub after the game.

If I made that kind of bet I would be buying a lot of beer

I never gamble. If I'm willing to make a bet with you it is because I already know the outcome and you will lose.

Pictors Studio is a man after my own heart.

Kinda like betting against Ricky Jay in a poker game.

Another Chariot Race better here. I lost.

All the time. I can quit any time I want to. It is just that I am due for a big win. No, really! It is my turn to shine. Here… hold my dice and watch this.

Mithmee26 Nov 2015 10:22 a.m. PST

Yes I have bet on several games.

Basically it was to determine just who's army was better.

Let's just say that my old Eldar Harlequin army was very hard to beat.

During a 7 years war horse race game, the participants were encouraged to give small bribes to the GM to influence events/die rolls.. The "pot" was then awarded to the winner, and I won the race and fought and won a duel(in miniature of course) afterwards when the results were challenged. Great fun and mildly profitable as well.
