Re: Prop Bets at the table
My favorite is taking any three random cards and saying that if one comes on the flop, I get a dollar, if not I pay a dollar. I'm about a 55/45 favorite. A better variation on this is to say: "I'll bet a dollar that one of the cards (value only, not suit) from the last Flop we saw will come on the next Flop we see." People (even good gamblers) tend to think that if the most recent Flop was 3/8/J there won't be a 3, 8 or J on the next Flop.
Be careful with Prop bets at a Live Casino. Taking chips from your stack and sliding them to another player at the table (even one stinking dollar) annoys some people. Heck, I've seen people get PO'd when someone tips a waitress from his stack.
