This reminds me of an unsold television game show pilot from the 1980s entitled "Split Decision." The premise of that game was similar to this one: flip up two cards at a time, then try to fit one in between. On that show, however, players won the hand (with 3 hands winning the game) under the following conditions that you revealed in this video would be automatic endings: 1. If two cards are dealt in sequence (i.e. 5 and 6), it is an automatic loss. On Split Decision, players would win if the middle card dealt was one of the two (in this case, a 5 or a 6). 2. If two cards are the same rank, the player wins two chips from the middle pot here. On Split Decision, players would only win the hand if the third card dealt was the same card. Two players had to win control of the cards by answering a toss-up question where 2 of the 3 answers were correct. An example question would be this: "Amber Waves of Grain," "Dawn's Early Light," and "Rockets' Red Glare." The clue that fits with 2 of these is: you'll find them in the Star-Spangled Banner, our national anthem. (The correct answer here would be "Dawn's Early Light" and "Rocket's Red Glare;" the odd one out, "Amber Waves of Grain," comes from "America the Beautiful.") Buzz-in with the correct answer, and you got control of the deck; a wrong answer allowed your opponent to guess. Once you got control of the deck, the host would deal 3 cards, one at a time, on a board with 5 slots. One card would go to you, one would go to your opponent, and one would be a middle shared card; you had to decide which card went where. For example, the first card dealt is a 4. Player A decides to keep the card for himself. The second card dealt is a King, and Player A decides to put it in the middle, hoping it would hinder Player B, since each player wants to have as big a spread as possible while narrowing the gap for the other player. The third card dealt is a Jack, and Player B has to take it. Another toss-up question is asked, and Player A gets it right. He now has to decide where the next card goes. In this example, if he wanted to keep the card for himself, he would win if the card is anywhere from a 4 to a King. Aces are high, and deuces are low, so an Ace, a 2, or a 3 would mean a loss of the hand. Alternatively, Player A might decide to attempt to bust Player B by giving him the card. In this example, Player B would win the hand only if the next card turned over is a Jack, Queen, or King, because he has a Jack to King spread. Player A decides to attempt to bust Player B, and the next card flipped is a 7. Player A wins the hand. The first to win three hands wins the game and goes to the bonus round, Pot Limit. Note: there are insurance markers in the deck. If the host reveals an insurance marker, the winning player gets to use it in Pot Limit. In Pot Limit, the player plays against the host, acting as dealer, and is given $1,000 to start with. After two cards are dealt, the player must make a bet; bets begin at $100 and must be made in $100 increments up to the grand total he/she has. The player also tells the dealer where to place the first two cards dealt before making a bet. After betting, the host turns over the third card, and if it makes a legal spread, they win the bet; if not, they lose the bet. After 3 turns, the game ends and the player keeps any cash and prizes won. To win a prize, a player's cash total must hit $2,000 (for the lowest level prize, which in the pilot was a trip to Paris), $4,000 (for the middle level prize, which in the pilot was a fur coat, something Bob Barker hated with a passion as you well know), and $5,000 (for the grand prize, which in the pilot was a brand new car). The bonus round deck also has 4 extra Aces and 4 extra 2's, and a spread of 2 to Ace is called a natural, meaning the player will automatically win (so you might as well go all in). The deck also has four jokers in it; if a joker is turned over, the player gets an extra $1,000, and then continues on. That wraps up how to play Split Decision!
The version my dad and his buddies play your first bet has to be only your initial ante amount and if an ace is turned over first you can name it high or low. Really fun and simple!
We played this at Deer camp during hunting season, the only game change we did was when the flopped card matched either card up, YOU had to pay the pot DOUBLE your Bet....great game....
Is there a time when you can decide not to bet on the cards, for example if a 4 and 6 are dealt can I pass on the bet or must i always make a minimum bet of 1 chip?

Good explanation. Might try this with the family if we're on a trip sometime.

That looks simple enough, but still fun.
Is there a time when you can decide not to bet on the cards, for example if a 4 and 6 are dealt can I pass on the bet or must i always make a minimum bet of 1 chip?
You always have to make a minimum bet of 1 chip
So if one card is high and the other two are in sequential order does that count as a lost,i.e. jack of clubs,3 of diamond & 4 of hearts
2:48 how come player 1 loses?
A Is ranked higher than King.. Not 1
If want to end the game, pot still have chip, who take?
Does any body know an app can I play between in?
We called this game, “Acey Duecey”
Cool
Anyone else heard this game called Between the Sheets?
New deck
Is this Red Dog?
I think this video needs a longer explanation
@stewie 242 no its a simple game
@@arigent1162

2:13 that should be a win it's between the two numbers
no man check
corectly
its not 1
