Abstract

A method of wagering amongst players in a card game, such as Blackjack, having a dealer or house. The method includes: accepting a quantum of money from each player, thereby establishing a pot; playing the game according to pre-determined game rules, wherein the game includes a house or dealer, each player is enabled to wager at each round in the game, and each player wins or loses his or her wager relative to the house or dealer at each round; keeping track of each player's winnings and losses during game play; and at the end of game play, dividing the pot amongst the players according to pre-determined ratios correlated to the accumulated winnings of each player. In this manner, the house or gaming establishment does actively participate in the game nor risk any funds.
