Eighty-five dollar bet (1 Viewer)

[toynoob]

170 fracs in my game is a common bet. I voted for the $20 HP's!

One time last year at @Boother36 house he had $20 and $25 chips (AS) in play at the same time during a cash game. That night my vote would have been 3 $20’s and 1 $25!

I remember this! I was collecting 25s that night!

We all talked about how Bill’s head would have exploded if he was there!

1x $50, 3x $10, and 5x $1


Totally kidding

 

[WedgeRock]

Or do they all keep it simple with denominations that end in 0?

Spoiler

 

[FDLmold]

I'd like to see single-digit currency that ends in a zero, that would be something.

17 x $5.

Either ^this^....

A single $100 chip with three fives coming back.

.... or ^this^.

Strictly from an efficiency perspective, 4x20+1x5 loses out to 3x25+2x5, But in a cash game, I'm typically betting with lots of chips -- I'm chip-geeky that way.

But both are 5 chips.

 

[Highli99]

i've played in game wher this bet could be done with 1 * $50, 1 * $25, and 1 * $10

 

[Payback]

3x$25+2x$5 at a casino. Most home games this is 17x$5 or 4x$20+1x$5

 

[PlaidDragon]

Do any countries have a $25 bill? Or something equivalent. Or do they all keep it simple with denominations that end in 0?

Not sure if this was real or not.

 

[markleteenie]

I voted 3x$25s and 2x$5s, but it would probably be 17x$5s.

Yup, that’s real. Withdrawn in 1937

And they are worth $1,000+ to collectors

170 x .50c or 340 x .25c.
Shit. Now I think about it, I think it's time I added pennies to my game...
How cool would I feel handing over a birdcage of 850 CPC light brown chips. How cool would my opponent feel re-raising with three birdcages full?

 

[DerberAlter]

If it is early in the night it will be all $5’s and if it is the Casino Cancun set it will be $5’s even later in the night!!!

But overall $85 is kind of an odd bet amount, most of the times it would be $75 or $80 or $100.

WOW - JUST WOW

 

[Legend5555]

The obvious answer is in 85 singles or even better, 340 quarters.

 

[FiveThous]

17*$5

No no no. Something unique and unexpected is called for. Only bet with 170 of these:

It's not that odd of an amount. It could easily be a flop pot size bet in a 1-2-5 game. It could also be a rack of chips: four barrels of $1 and a barrel of 25c.
