My players have expressed an interest in placing the odd bet, and possibly having a bit of a gamble...Trouble is I'm rubbish at odds, and how they work (never having gambled in my life!), and I don't know any good, authentic sounding games. I'd like to improve this, so could anyone point me in the direction of some info and resources, and/or offer any advice?
Thanks
Ben

The Wikipedia is your friend.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odds and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambling are a good place to start. From the entry for Gambling you get a link to many games.

How about a game of Three Dragon Ante??
