Raise the Stakes with Backbet

Posted by Steven, September 27, 2011

Titan Poker today launched a revolutionary side bet game that will greatly enhance the playing experience at its tables. Called BackBet, the new game gives players an opportunity to make side bets on certain outcomes of their next cards.

What exactly is a back bet? In the world of gambling, a back bet is a bet on something that is about to happen. For example if you are betting on a specific horse to win a race, or on a team to win a football match, that is considered a back bet.

So how does this work in poker? BackBet is a feature that attaches itself to the Titan Poker table. A number of side bet games are available, depending on what stage of the deal the players are at. Players can bet what their next pocket cards will be, or if the flop will deliver three cards all of the same color. Players can also bet on the outcome of their hand if they had not folded.

BackBet interaction takes place in parallel to, and completely separated from the action at the poker table. Bets are made against a player’s balance, and not against the funds he brought to the table. Due to the nature of the game, BackBet is only available solely at real money Texas Hold’em games.

BackBet is certain to be warmly welcomed by players who wish to partake in a little side betting action while they play poker.
