[ANZAC DAY][Gambling] Two-Up

[Timelord2067]

What is everyone talking about in the forum today?

It's ANZAC Day here in Australia and traditionally on Anzac Day old timers and diggers would head out the back of the pub after the main march and play "Two-Up" for many hours.  The Treasury and Gold Coast Casinos *used* to have two-up pits, but the game has been illegal in Australia for many decades (since the thirties if I'm not mistaken)  -  I can't recall ever seeing Two-Up played online.

From Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-up Two-up is a traditional Australian gambling game, involving a designated "spinner" throwing two coins or pennies into the air. Players bet on whether the coins will fall with both heads (obverse) up, both tails (reverse) up, or with one coin a head and one a tail (known as "Ewan"). It is traditionally played on Anzac Day in pubs and clubs throughout Australia, in part to mark a shared experience with Diggers through the ages. The game is traditionally played with pennies – their weight, size, and surface design make them ideal for the game. Weight and size make them stable on the "kip" and easy to spin in the air. Decimal coins are generally considered to be too small and light and they do not fly as well.[citation needed] The design of pre-1939 pennies had the sovereign's head on the obverse (front) and the reverse was totally covered in writing making the result very easy and quick to see. Pennies now are marked with a white cross on the reverse (Tails) side. Pennies can often be observed being used at games on Anzac Day, as they are brought out specifically for this purpose each year.

Anyone here played it?

Are there any sites that play it online?

One coin usually has an "X" painted on both sides (both coins are usually the same year or at least value - I.E. one penny (same size as the UK and NZ pennies pre decimal)).  You can bet at least four ways:

• Two heads up
• Two tails up
• One head up and one tail down - coin that *does* have the "X"
• One head up and one tail down - coin that does not have the "X"

I know you can bet on other things, but don't know enough about the game.

That Two-Up is called "Cara y Cruz" or simply "Kara-Krus" from where I am from. It basically means heads or tails.

It's played in almost every corner of the street. It's also illegal in most (if not all) places but some people from all ages still gamble since it's easy to understand and you can bet with a small amount. It's usually played using two coins but it kind of evolved in some areas and they play it using three coins.

Bitsler adopted this game using three coins and you can play it at https://www.bitsler.com/en/cara-y-cruz
They also came out with a guide for those who are new to the game - How to play the game of Cara y Cruz?

Only 2 ways on coinflip head and tails.

Yeah, well im try the coinflip cause its a PVP game.

I just want to rekt someone or my friend by playing those games, since it's easy to play & understand the game. Not really necessary seriously to learn those games.

If you're ever studying statistics studying the outcomes of having two coins flipped simultaneously gives four results, three coins actually gives eight results as each coin can show head or tail independently of other coins being flipped.

Sic Bo is another game where you can have many results, it's probably a good thing Casinos only rely on simple 1-6 outcomes instead of which Die gives which answer.

If you're flipping just one coin, see how many times it comes out either heads or tails in a row.  (a POW mathematician during WWII flipped a coin more than 10,000 times to work out a near 50%/50% answer) - the heads/tails coin flip is *almost* the same as Roulette Red/Black (the green zero/double zero is the house edge) - (or rather Roulette Red/Black is almost the same as a coin flip for results over many turns)
