Betgames War of Bets Sites
War of Bets is a straightforward card game with a simple win condition - the highest card wins. For new bettors, this is an easy game to pick up and learn. For veterans, there's the chance to win thousands with numerous betting options. It also includes an in-play betting element to spice up the action.
How to play Betgames War of Bets
War of Bets shares similarities with games that work on binary outcomes, like baccarat. The game is played using a deck of 52 enlarged playing cards. All cards are shuffled in plain sight to ensure that there is no foul play going on behind the scenes.
Each game starts with the player position receiving a single playing card. A short interval will begin where a player may place their bets.
After the betting pause, the dealer will deal a card to the dealer position. The winner is decided by whoever has the highest value card. Aces are high and 2s are the worst hand.
In the event of a "War", where player and dealer have the same value card - then the result will be a tie.

War of Bets Tips
Here are the best tips to play War of Bets.
- Aces are the best card - always punt on an Ace if it appears
- Never bet on a 2 - it's the worst bet in the game
- The War outcome offers attractive odds - but it is incredibly rare and should be avoided
- Bets to go for: King, Queen, Jack, 10
- Bets to avoid: 3, 4, 5, 6
- Use fullscreen mode for a more immersive gaming experience
- While the option to bet beforehand is available - it's better to wait and see the first player card
- Always bet reactively depending on what the player has. If it's a 2 or 3, then you should back the dealer.
Betgames War of Bets Strategy
The best strategy in War of Bets is always to wait to see what the first card is. While betting early does secure better odds, you are also betting blind. If you know what the first card is, you can make a better-educated guess.
There are some cards that you should always bet on like Ace, King or Queen. Betting exclusively on these options means you have a strong chance of winning.
A bet that should generally be avoided is the tie bet. Similar to baccarat, this bet does seem attractive odds offering double the payout chance. But the chances of a "War" are slim and a waste of a bet.
