* Lampshaded in [[Family Ties]] when Alex takes his sister along to a card game with his buddies, and loses her. Whereupon on giving up searching he goes home to recoup. His dad says, "You lost your sister in a card game?"
**What makes the incident funny is that Alex is comically greedy and cynical. He would never have actually wagered his sister. But you can sort of imagine him doing so.
* In ''The Beiderbecke Affair'', Jill Swinburne loses her boyfriend, Trevor Chaplain, to his former fiancee, Helen of Tadcaster, in a coin-toss after a night of heavy drinking. Mrs Swinburne honours her agreement with Helen, but Mr Chaplain goes back to her anyway because "nobody wins me at the toss of a coin." It is strongly suggested that this is a new development in Trevor's persona since the time when he and Helen were engaged.
* A ''[[Simon]]'' episode featured Duke Stone at a poker table betting his butler because he was ''two'' dollars short of the money needed to match the last bet and his nephew wouldn't allow him to pay later. Simon won that round. In the end, Duke offered his gardener in exchange to get his butler back.
