Fun Betting Games With Friends Rating: 10,0/10 3989 reviews

To help you increase the fun (and pressure), I wanted to create a list of golf betting games to find the right one for your group. The Nassau Origins of the Nassau. The $2 or $5 Nassau is probably one of the most fun and easiest way to golf when betting with friends. When it comes to simple, betting card games, blackjack is at the top of the list. This card game can be played with multiple friends, and the goal is to get a set of cards closer to 21 than others. What makes blackjack so interesting is the fact that you instantly lose if you pass 21.


You are at home with friends. Everyone in the room has exhausted all possible Netflix options, and besides, you feel like doing something more interactive anyway.

Game nights are becoming increasingly popular, even hip, and you want to give it a try.

You pull out some dice, a few decks of cards and decide to “up” the excitement of your at-home event by turning old favorites into simple gambling games.

Everyone knows that a wager makes any pursuit more interesting.

Think about the high-pitched excitement at the Kentucky Derby, when millions of dollars are wagered on a race that lasts only seconds. You can watch horses run in a field any time; it is the wager that matters.

I’m going to show you the best and easiest ways to set up fun betting games with friends.

Some of these games your friends will already know the rules to. Others are games that are relatively easy to pick up.

Although complex, neon-lit, high-stakes casinos are what we typically associate with gambling, there are easy gambling games at home that can equal the excitement of a trip to Vegas. (Well, almost, at any rate!)

Remember, though, you don’t have to wager cash; you can play betting games for fun, for “dares,” for Jell-O shots, or even for minor work tasks if you are playing these betting games at home with your colleagues.

Blackjack

Everyone thinks they have a winning system for blackjack. Why is that? The rules are pretty simple, and the casino dealers always hit on a soft 17.

This card game really should be more straightforward than it is, but rarely will you find people focusing so intently on their cards, on the game, on the dealer’s hand.

They have read a book or an article on a winning strategy. They cannot wait to double down. Faces become tense, the air crackles with electricity and, occasionally, with curses.

There are dozens of card games you can gamble on, and blackjack or “21” is just one of them. This game has never waned in popularity, probably because the play progresses quickly, and it is easy (for most people) to count to 21.

Dominoes

Dominoes are around 800 years old, originally come from China, and were dispersed through the western world via Italy.

Many American homes have a set tucked back behind the old National Geographics, in that dusty cupboard filled with all the things your big brother left behind when he moved out (and before you moved back in).

The standard dominoes game is easy enough for a child to play but complex enough to keep old men in the park riveted for hours. (Or maybe their wives kicked them out of the house? Either way, the old men are happy.)

How do you make a game that is traditionally played by only two players work for a roomful of people? Simple. Select two players, and have the others choose sides, take bets, and trash talk. It’s a good time, had by all!

Betting on Sports

Okay, this is a no-brainer. Everyone knows you can fly to Vegas and put money down at a sportsbook, and many people are now aware that you can access global sportsbooks from home, given recent changes in U.S. legislation.

But you can also create a sportsbook in your home, just by hosting friends to watch a game at your house. List the odds on a chalkboard, create a few themed cocktails, and offer a prize for the most creative side bet.

Football, hockey, tennis, and baseball lend themselves easily to game win wagers, as well as side bets on the quarterback throwing completions or interceptions, fights on the ice, successful versus unsuccessful match points, and walk-offs.

If you are a cricket fan, you can bet on fours, sixers, half-centuries, and centuries, as well as wickets, taken and how many times the “third umpire” is requested. If you are a super fan, you can place prop bets on how long it will take until the next LBW, or “leg before wicket,” is called.

You may think you know how a game is going to go, but sports always present us with surprises.

The odds-on favorite does not always win, and the fastest quarter horse can come up lame. That is why we keep coming back to sports (and have done since the first two hunters raced each other to the wooly mammoth); the excitement lies completely in the unpredictability.

Explore the bets and side bets at real money online betting sites; you can get a feel for the kinds of things people bet on, from the Super Bowl coin toss to the length of the National Anthem.

Last year’s Super Bowl had a prop bet (another name for “side bet”) on the color of Gatorade that would be served to the players!

Gossip Trivia

Got a People Magazine, a Tatler, or an US lying around? Pour your friends a shot apiece, ask questions from the magazine to see who’s up on the latest and greatest gossip, and the first person to yell out the correct answer is the only one who doesn’t have to take a shot.

In place of shots, you can have your friends “buy-in” to the game at $1 per question, with the winner takes all upon the completion of each question.

Like the lottery, this game encourages participation because each player becomes convinced he’ll ace the next question.

This is a great way to get back at any non-gossipy friends who tease you about your need for the latest juicy celeb sightings. Besides, they secretly want to know what’s happening in Hollywood and beyond anyway.

Liar’s Dice

This is a game that I’ve seen played on sidewalks, behind stores when workers are on a break, and at Friday night house parties, where bets change hands quickly, and the play is serious. I’m surprised it isn’t something that is more popular, considering most people have dice at home.

Recommended Reading:

For Liar’s Dice, you do need a significant number of dice. You may have to raid all of your Monopoly and other board games around the house. Or, if you have thought of it beforehand, ask your buddies to bring some along.

Liar’s Dice is like poker in that you know your hand, you don’t know the hands of others, and you have to make your bets based on what you think they may or may not have in terms of “hands.” The hands that a player can have include three of a kind, five in a row, etc.

As with poker, you bet on the strength of your hand compared to what you think your friends may hold. The word “liar” refers to the need to bluff, keep a poker face, and generally lie about your true hand.

Pub-at-Home Quiz

You know those questions they ask at Pub Nights that you swear you got right but always end up stumping you? Most of those questions are online. Just search for “pub quiz animals,” or “pub quiz sports,” or just go with “pub quiz general questions.”

If you are hosting a group of people who have not all been friends for a while, it’s a great way to get them introduced, interactive, and comfortable with each other.

Also, it is just a great excuse to pretend that you are in a pub and keep the beers flowing. (Or is that just me?)

To bet on a pub quiz, you can ask players to ante in for each game, i.e., a set of 10 questions. You can offer a winner take all kitty, or divide the pot between the top three finishers, depending on how many friends you are hosting.

Jenga for Cash

Everyone knows Jenga. It’s the game that requires you to pull a wooden block out of a tall, heavy tower, one at a time, taking turns with your opponent in an effort to avoid collapsing the structure. No one outgrows this game, and even introverts shriek when the tower wobbles dangerously.

You can wager on the ultimate outcome and place side bets as well on how many blocks can be pulled before the final collapse. This game draws in the non-players as they watch in breathless anticipation to see if the swaying tower will hold or fail.

This is one of the first games to set out—if you have a Jenga set available to you—as you start your evening of playing fun betting games with friends. It’s tactile, doesn’t require poker skills, gets everyone boisterous early, and it’s a good time. The wagers just make it an even better time.

It is also (for different reasons) a great game to end the night with, especially if the players have been imbibing cocktails and/or shots and/or beer all evening, are seeing double, and are as wobbly as the wooden tower itself.

Note:

End-of-the-night Jenga might be more fun for the spectators than the players. (Everyone loves a fool…as long as it is someone else.)

Tiddlywinks

Do not laugh. Tiddlywinks has an international organization, tournaments, and Cambridge University even has a team that defends Prince Philip’s honor via this game. It is also a very easy game to place a wager upon.

If you have a couple of coins lying around (pennies are the ideal size), then you can play. Draw a series of concentric circles on a piece of paper, and label each one with a point score, the least points for the larger, outer circle, and the most points for the “bullseye,” inner circle.

The paper will look like a skeeball target. The two players sit across from each other and use one coin to pop up a second coin that is lying flat. The first person to 30 points wins and takes the prize. For proper form, you can refer to this video.

A more interesting way to create simple betting games than the standard “winner takes the pot” format is to give each player five chances to pop his coins. Each player tallies his score, and he wins that amount from his opponent.

More than any other game on this list (except perhaps for Liar’s Dice), tiddlywinks is utterly addictive. Your evening at home with friends might evolve into a monthly tournament. Make it BYOB, share cocktail recipes, and establish a tradition.

War

It’s simple, it’s a classic, and it’s fun. If you have a deck of cards at home, great. If you have multiple decks, even better. If you have only ever played War between two players, you’ll enjoy it even more with three or four sitting at the game, each player with one or two decks.

The premise is simple: each player gets an equal part of a shuffled deck. Players do not look at their cards, merely holding their stack face down. At the same time, each participating player flips over his top card.

Whoever has the highest card takes everyone else’s card and adds it to the bottom of his own stack. Whoever ends up with the entire deck wins the game.

Note:

In the case of a tie, the players set down three cards face down and then turn up the fourth card.

Whichever is the player whose fourth card is higher wins all of the cards played in that hand, the three face-down cards of each player engaged in the tie-breaker, as well as the fourth cards that determined the winning and losing hands.

As with the other games listed herein, you can bet on the ultimate winner, on tiebreakers, and on any prop bet, you can think of.

For instance, add a touch of roulette to the game by betting on whether the next high card will be black or red, a common number or a royal, an even number or odd.

Sometimes the simplest things are best, and I’ve yet to meet anyone who doesn’t like a game of War. In fact, Caesar’s Palace has a War table game on the casino floor, and you can bet hundreds (or more) on the turn of a single card.

A Word in Closing

Gambling tokens have been found in Paleolithic campsites. The first dice were made of animal bones and were found 5000 years ago in the near east.

Even the Dalai Lama reportedly uses a type of Tibetan gambling device called a “mo” to help with decision making.

Clearly, there is something about gambling, wagering, and winning that caught the imagination of man at the dawn of time and never let go.

Gambling games for fun, for profit, even for divination, are as old as man himself.

Of course, you are just here looking for gambling games to play with friends, but it doesn’t hurt to know that we are already wired to enjoy these games of skill, with a wager or two thrown in to increase the suspense.

Get a good mixed crowd of friends over—maybe add a couple of people you haven’t seen in a while to your standard crew, just to shift the energy a bit—then decide between wings and pizza or more exotic finger foods, and let the games begin!

5. Five Things

Five Things is an improv game you can play over Zoom to encourage team building. Here is how to play:

  1. Name a topic and a person. That person has 15 seconds to name five specific items within the topic.
  2. That player then chooses another topic and player to continue.

6. Something in Common

Something in Common is one of the best icebreaker games you can play on Zoom. The purpose of the game is to help improve employee engagement by connecting people with similarities.

  • For round one, challenge your team members to find the most unique thing they have in common.
  • For round two, challenge your team members to find the most unique thing, while excluding physical traits and places.
  • For round three, challenge your team members to find the most unique thing in a specific category, like high school.

Pro tip: One of the most powerful Zoom features to support games is breakout rooms. For this game, organize your people into breakout rooms with four or five people each to encourage participation.

Here are more icebreaker games to play with remote teams.

7. Blackout Truth or Dare

Blackout truth or dare is a fun Zoom game hat will help your group become better acquainted. The rules are simple:

  1. One player acts as the dare-master.
  2. The dare-master calls out dares or truths.
  3. Players who do not wish to share must stop their webcam feeds.
  4. The dare-master will call on one brave player to respond.

The game continues for a certain number of rounds, or until only one player remains. Prompts can be personal or silly, and should be safe for work. For example: “change your display name to a childhood nickname,” or “sing Firework by Katy Perry.”

Blackout Truth or Dare is a great Zoom game for large groups. Here are more virtual games for large groups.

8. Codenames

While Codenames is usually an in-person card game, you can also play online. When playing Codenames via Zoom, have one player, who is not a spymaster, share their screen. Then, split participants into either the red or blue team, and designate one person as the spymaster of each team. As players attempt to guess which cards their spymaster hints at, send teams off into breakout rooms, so they can discuss their strategy. Whichever team successfully guesses all cards with their color first, while avoiding the forbidden card, wins the game.

Here is a link to play Codenames online.

9. Desert Island Intelligences

You may have heard of Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences, which states that people can have different strengths and abilities called intelligences.

Gardner’s eight intelligences are:

  1. Visual-spatial
  2. Linguistic-verbal
  3. Interpersonal
  4. Intrapersonal
  5. Logical-mathematical
  6. Musical
  7. Body-kinesthetic
  8. Naturalistic

Desert Island Intelligences borrows this theory by pitting eight individuals, each representing a different intelligence, against each other on a desert island. Since the island has limited resources, players vote one intelligence off the island at a time in order of usefulness. Since the definition of usefulness is broad, this game leads to fierce debate among team members. You can facilitate this game with the polling feature on Zoom calls.

10. War of the Wizards (New)

War of the Wizards is a collaborative storytelling game with elements of RPGs and escape rooms. Basically, a group of wizards have been at war since ages past; you and your colleagues become the wizards’ minions, gathering resources and magic items to bring the war to a peaceful end.

The game is 90 minutes and played on Zoom with coworkers. Throughout the game, you and your colleagues will develop your stories, take actions, spin the “Chaos Wheel” and work through the results. War of the Wizards is a fun Zoom game that promotes creativity, collaboration and problem solving.

Learn more about War of the Wizards.

11. Guess The Movie

For the movie buffs at your office, Guess That Movie is one of the best Zoom games. Prior to the game starting, curate a YouTube playlist with movie scenes. Then, when playing Guess That Movie, mute all participants and play the movie scene without revealing which film the clip is from. Then, ask the players to submit the name of the movie in Zoom’s chat box. The first person who guesses the film correctly wins the round. Try searching “best movie scenes of all time” or “top movie clips” on YouTube to put together your list.

12. Virtual Rock, Paper, Scissors

Even if your teammates did not grow up playing rock, paper, scissors, the rules are easy enough to explain: scissor cuts paper, paper covers rock, rock crushes scissors. You can give the game a modern update for Zoom by using the reactions feature to answer in place of hand gestures. The key is as follows:

👏 = Paper

👍 = Rock

Teammates cross arms = Scissors

To play, prompt participants with the classic rallying cry, “rock, paper, scissors, shoot!” Teammates will have three seconds to answer. When all players respond, count up the reactions and the majority wins.

13. Virtual Murder Mystery

Most adults love a good murder mystery, and your coworkers can solve an engaging mystery right on Zoom. Players can work in teams and use breakout rooms to swap clues and unravel the case together. A facilitator can guide the game and entertain attendees while moving the story forward.

Learn more about virtual murder mysteries.

14. Bet on the Crowd

Zoom’s polling feature allows you to ask for attendee opinions and instantly display the results. Bet on the Crowd turns Zoom polls into a fun wagering game. First, participants will vote on a question or series of questions. You can either stick to a two answer format, or allow for up to four answers.

Here are some sample questions:

  • Would you prefer to vacation in your own country or travel abroad?
  • Cat or dogs?
  • Summer or winter?
  • Would you rather give up your phone or your car for a month?
  • Work at night or in the morning?
  • Emails or phone calls?

Before you reveal the responses, ask your teammates to guess which answer will win. Any player who correctly predicts the majority wins the round. You can play multiple games and keep score, awarding a prize to the highest-ranking teammates.

Here is a list of this or that questions you can use as prompts.

15. Trial by Trolley

To play Trial by Trolley, separate your team into two groups with each group assigned to one side of the tracks. After drawing cards, each group places cards with characters onto the track. Once all players have put down their cards, each group debates with the conductor over which side should be run over by the trolley. The group that loses the debate sees all their characters killed, and the game resets for the next round.

This site has a Zoom friendly version of Trial by Trolley.

16. Virtual Werewolf

Virtual Werewolf is the online version of the popular game of deception. To play this game, privately message everyone their role. These roles should include a werewolf, a medic, a hunter, a seer, and villagers. Once everyone knows who they are, gather your coworkers in a Zoom room.

Declare night has fallen, and have everyone close their eyes. During each round, let the werewolf eat someone, the medic attempt to save someone, and the seer guess who the werewolf is. To keep the mystery alive, have the werewolf, the medic, and the seer submit their responses through private message. Then, declare that the sun is rising, and reveal if the werewolf succeeded. Let everyone discuss who they suspect is the werewolf, and vote players out each round. If the werewolf survives until the end, they win.

Here is a step by step guide to play Werewolf online.

17. Robot Training

To play Robot Training, ask one of your colleagues to share their screen. Then, using step-by-step directions, proceed to dictate the steps necessary to complete an action on that screen. For example, ask the player to pull up Microsoft Paint and provide instructions on how to draw a cat. The point of Robot Training is to develop your coworkers’ communication and cooperation skills, which is helpful for team building.

18. Guess Who?

Guess Who? is a Zoom game that challenges players to identify an opponent’s chosen person. For example, a player might ask, “does your person wear glasses?” If the opponent says yes, then the player would eliminate the cards of any non-glasses wearers, and vice versa.

To play Guess Who? on Zoom:

  1. Choose a random coworker.
  2. Allow all other players to take turns guessing traits.
  3. When eliminated, the attendee will stop their webcam, and can continue to play.
  4. The game ends when only one person remains, and the turn-taker confirms the identity of the person.

Since you and your coworkers know each other, you do not need to limit guesses to physical traits such as clothes or hair colors. For example, a player may guess, “has your person been with the company for more than ten years?” or “did your person travel abroad this year?” Players should try to confirm the identity in as few questions as possible.

Here are more question games to play with teams.

19. Zoom Pictionary

Pictionary is a classic board game that is easy to adapt for remote teams. To play Pictionary online, you share screens and select the whiteboard app in Zoom. The drawing teammate will receive a prompt: you can use an online Pictionary generator to choose a word. The playing team has one minute to guess the drawing. If the team does not guess before the minute expires, then other teams have a chance to steal.

20. Zoom Charades

Charades is one of the best games to play over Zoom. To start playing Zoom Charades, split players into two teams. Then, use a random word generator to find a word to act out in front of the camera. Since an important aspect of charades is that players cannot use spoken words to express the prompt, mute participants when it is the player’s turn to act. Whichever team can guess the most prompts correctly wins the game.

Friends

21. Mystery Singer

Fun Betting Games With Friends Games

If you are familiar with The Masked Singer, then you may already be familiar with this game format. For this game, have multiple participants enter the Zoom call with their video turned off and with an alias as their name. Then, let each competitor cover one minute of a song. At the end of each round, have audience members vote for a favorite singer using Zoom’s polling feature. Once voters narrow down the singer to an absolute favorite, ask the audience to guess who the last surviving singer is.

22. Who Wins the Bracket?

If your team is a fan of tournament brackets, then this game is the one for you. Who Wins the Bracket? seeks to find the ultimate winner of a particular category by pitting representatives of that category against each other until only one winner is left.

Some examples of Who Wins the Bracket? topics are:

  • Best snack food
  • Best Marvel superhero
  • Best Disney prince
  • Best cuisine
  • Best 90’s song
  • Best movie dad

To determine who is the best of each of these categories, set up a tournament bracket. As you proceed further down the brackets, your game will come closer and closer to the final winner.

Here are more workplace competitions you can adapt to play on Zoom.

23. Spot the Difference

Like many kids, I grew up reading the funny papers, and got pretty good at solving spot the difference puzzles. These riddles would show the audience two nearly identical illustrations and challenge viewers to find the variations. You can adapt the game for Zoom meetings with the breakout room feature.

To play:

  1. The group will split into teams of two to five people.
  2. All teams will have one minute to study the screen before entering breakout rooms.
  3. Within breakout rooms, the teams will decide one background object to change.
  4. Teams will rejoin the main room.
  5. Players will hunt for differences, and make guesses by typing in the chat box.
  6. The first player to spot the difference wins a point for the team.

You can play as many rounds as you like. At the end of the game, the team with the most points wins.

Pro tip: Setting ground rules is helpful. For example, the moved object must be at least three inches large. You could also narrow the choices by asking your coworkers who did not make a change to black-out webcams one by one.

24. Read my Lips

Many of us have been in a Zoom meeting when a presenter’s audio cut out or the speaker forgot to take the microphone off mute. Read my lips turns this awkward or frustrating situation into a fun game.

To play, one participant will mute the mic, and then speak a word or phrase. The other players must try to guess the word or phrase correctly. Players have one minute to figure out the message. The turn-taker can also give clues by using the chat box, if necessary.

25. Story Races

Crafting a story one line at a time is a common team building activity. By using the chat feature on Zoom, you can turn the exercise into a race.

Here is how:

  1. Elect one team member as the story master.
  2. The story master will begin to tell a tale.
  3. At random, the story master will stop to let other attendees add details.
  4. The first answer in the chat box becomes part of the story.

The story master can either speak the story or type out the tale in the chat box. The story master also has the power to veto the “first answer” in favor of a more creative option.

Pro tip: Record the meeting or copy and paste the story into a new document.

26. The Counting Game

Fun Betting Games With Friends Fun

In this game, your coworkers must count to ten. If any players say a number simultaneously, then you start over at one. Reading body language and making eye contact is more challenging during video meetings, and it is important for adults to learn this skill. Savvy virtual employees can even devise strategies to play the game more effectively.

27. Virtual Musical Chairs

For Virtual Musical Chairs, instead of stealing chairs before the music ends, the last participant left dancing when the music ends loses the round, and wins at life.

To play musical chairs on Zoom, create a Spotify playlist with dance tunes. Once everyone is in the Zoom room, start playing songs, pausing at random and phasing out the last player who is still dancing. As each participant is eliminated, ask them to turn off cameras to help keep track of who is still playing. Keep broadcasting great dance tunes until only the winner is left.

Final Thoughts

Playing virtual games on Zoom is a fun way to make these meetings more engaging. Especially with adults, these games will help bring joy to the workplace, and support meaningful team building.

You can either plan a dedicated 60 minutes or so to play your games, or include a few quick games at the beginning of your Zoom call as an icebreaker activity.
