Abstract: A method of bet placement and wager distribution for use with double-hand gambling games; each round frontline players place wagers on their front hand final ranking into a frontline front hand pot and wagers on their back hand final ranking into a frontline back hand pot, and backline players place wagers on either the final ranking of a frontline player's front hand into a backline front hand pot or the final ranking of a frontline player's back hand into a backline back hand pot. A full game round is played, and then the relative rankings of the front and back hands are determined, identifying both highest ranked and second highest ranked hands among the frontline front hands, the frontline back hands, the backline front hands, and the backline back hands. The four pots are then apportioned between the controllers of the highest-ranked and second-highest hands corresponding to each pot, each apportionment according to a respective predetermined formula.

Abstract: A method of bet placement and wager distribution for use with gambling games conducted in rounds; each round frontline players place wagers on their own final ranking in the associated game into a frontline players' pot, and backline players place wagers on the relative final rankings of the frontline players into a backline players' pot. The game round is fully played out, and then the relative rankings of the frontline players are determined, identifying a highest ranked frontline player or players and a second highest ranked frontline player or players. The relative rankings of the backline players are then determined by reference to the rankings of the frontline players they selected, identifying a highest ranked backline player or players and a second-highest ranked backline player or players.
