Also on Friends (season 1), there was the ep, "TOW the Poker"

And, the whole betting fiasco over who knew who the best, which resulted in the girls losing their apt to the guys

Annball, in the seinfeld episode I think the bet was for who can resist temptation the longest or it was who could go the longest without self-discriminating. I don't think I'm helping you out very much.

Thats ok, its hard to go into details about that episode. But it was very funny. Did they bet money on it? I can't remember that part of it.

I do know that Kramer was the first one to lose the bet. Big suprise

Family Matters - Eddie and Steve were gambling at a casino in one episode, and in another episode they gambled in a pool hall.

Also Lou babysit Bess on the show & they used cookies to bet on a card game.

I believe the ep. you're referring to (the first one) is "It's Whether You Win or Lose," where Mary invited Murray to Lou's poker game, not knowing he was a recovered compulsive gambler. Murray ended up losing a bunch of money to Ted (He got lucky! lol), and then Murray went double or nothing on whether or not Ted could read a foriegn name correctly on the air. Naturally, Ted blew it.

Hope that helps!

Yes, wasn't that the ep where "Arms" appears?? It was also the only ep where Rollo and Julio appeared together, and Julio's last ep as portrayer Gregory Sierra (

) moved on to Barney Miller.

On Friends, Chandler & Monica decided to get married in Vegas if Monica rolled another hard eight at the craps table. Which she did. "It's a four"

I loved both of these episodes, especially Klugman and Winters. Klugman seemed to be on a lot of the best Twilight Zone episodes.

TURBOCSX · 03-27-2007, 08:48 PM

there are numerous Hogan's Heroes episodes where Sgt Schultz can be heard bellowing "no gambling in the barracks" or something similiar. There is one episode I can think of that actually had a gambling theme. Hogan set up a Monte Carlo night so that they could raise money for the "Winter relief fund" that klink was in charge of. (actually, the real reason was so hogan could create a diversion and swap out a top secret airplane part that a nazi was carrying in his briefcase)

"M*A*S*H" had many episodes that featured gambling.

While they mostly played poker (my favorite episode "Deal Me Out" was about an all night poker game), the gang at the 4077th played craps, bet on the Kentucky Derby, a ping pong tournament, football, baseball, mouse races, bowling, bridge, boxing, a road race ran by Father Mulcahy, and they also bet on whether an enemy bomber plane would hit thier ammo dump whenever he attacked the camp.

On The Dick Van Dyke show Rob accidently plays cards with Ritchies magic
cards which are marked. The new neighbor gets very upset and accuses Rob
of cheating.
