How to Play Flip Cup
Just like in baccarat the betting in the game of Flip Cup is done by the spectators. They have the option to do some gambling on which team they think will win.
The game is played with 2 teams and is played in several rounds.
The firs thing you need for flip cup is a keg of beer. The game has been played with cases of beer but it just does not work out as well. The next thing you need is a flat place to place a long plastic table. The table does not need to be plastic but it works best. You will also need plastic keg cups and 2 pitchers.
The 1st pitcher is use to fill the players cups 1 3rd of the way up with beer. The 2nd pitcher is used as the penalty for the losing team.
Each team lines up on their side of the table. a non participant will call the start of the race. When the race begins the 1st player from each team will consume their beer as fast as they can then placing the cup on the table right side up with the edge sticking over the edge of the table will then begin to flip the cup 1 half rotation and get the cup to land on its top. When the player successfully accomplishes this the next player on his team may start to go until one team finishes.
The losing team must then drink any cups of beer that sis not get drank and then they must finish the penalty pitcher.
This game is lots of fun at parties, and is not only fun for those playing the game but for those who are gambling on the game as well.
Gambling on flip cup makes it more interesting, because as someone who has invested money in the game by gambling on it you are more excited and will root hard for your team.
Besides gambling on who will win there are as many other types of gambling bets you can make on flip cup. Like who will be the first to throw up, or who will be the first to go to the bathroom, or whatever kinds of gambling bets your imagination can come up with and you can find someone willing to gamble on with you.
This is not a gambling game you are going to find in a casino any time soon but I hear a rumor that one of the larger sportsbooks will be having a live flip cup game viewable from their website and you will be able to do some gambling on different things in the game, and every week they will have the winning team back and bring in another team for new rounds of gambling.
