Absurdly High Stakes Game: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

 

[[The Bet|Gambling]] is entertaining.

* ''[[Gamble Fish]]'' quite often, where they are usually betting large amounts of money. In one case Tomu even bet his own finger, he lost and immediately had it chopped off with a chainsaw.

* ''[[Mirai Nikki]]'' has characters betting their diaries and lives on a simple coin game with even odds. The game gets complicated because the diaries involved can tell the future -- including the outcome of the coin game, and destroying a diary kills its owner. [[Magnificent Bastard]] Aru Akise manages to win even though {{spoiler|he's the only one playing who can't predict the future.}}

** The poker game Jotaro Kujo plays with Daniel J. D'arby in Part 3 ramps up the stakes to the souls of Jotaro's friends. Jotaro even puts his own on the line. {{spoiler|Jotaro wins only through magnificent bluffing, betting ''every'' soul in play on a dud hand.}} This scene appeared in the OVA adaptation.

** Later he bets souls against Terrence D'arby, ''a video gamer''. {{spoiler|He has to cheat to win that one.}}
