Side Bet - Poker (gambling)

1) An agreement among two or more players to pay off privately based on their original holdings. Examples are points, colors, low spade, and a back line agreement. These sorts of bet arrangements are particularly frowned on by the house, because they involve exposing too many cards, and also slow the game down while comparisons and verifications are made. 2) A bet made privately among two or more players on the outcome of the next hand, usually made by players not involved in the pot; the side bet is not part of the pot. Most clubs do not permit side bets. 3) Rarely, a bet in a side pot.
