* ''[[Kaiji]]'' - The entire premise of the show revolves around this. Over the course of the show the main character bets his freedom, his life, and various body parts, in order to win money.
* ''[[Akagi]]'' - In the final story arc for the anime, the hero plays an unusual version of [[Mahjong]] that uses clear tiles and where he bets his own blood instead of money.
* ''[[Spiral]]'' - There are a few Absurdly High Stakes Games throughout the series, but the most obvious example would be when the hero wagers that he can guess which card his opponent is holding. If he wins, he will receive crucial information, but if he loses, he will have a swarm of deadly bees released on him.
