Abstract
A method of apportioning wagers is disclosed which increases player interest and involvement in games where players successively become the "bank," i.e., wager against each of the other game players. The method offers the bank a plurality of wagering options. One of the options involves the bank with only those successive players whose combined wagers are less than or equal to the bank's wager while another of the options continues to involve the bank with successive players as long as his wager plus his winnings is not exceeded by his losses.
