- Aissen 8y agoClassical typo, enhanced by non-native writer skills ;-)
- duncan_bayne 8y agoHaha! I actually missed the typo altogether. I thought you were intentionally using a phrase originating in gambling ("follow suit") as a joke, given the context.

- caf 8y agoGames in which you follow suit are not generally gambling games.
- duncan_bayne 8y agoBridge is the first that springs to mind, and that is most definitely a gambling game.
- caf 8y agoDo you say that because of the bidding mechanism itself, or is there actually a culture of wagering on bridge games? I wasn't aware of that.
- duncan_bayne 8y agoThe latter - although I've read that it's never attracted the kind of money you see in high stakes poker.
