  FSR: <perfidious> I had to look that up.

<Another form of side bet you can make in tournaments is the last longer bet. This is where one or more players make a private wager about who among them will last longest in the tournament. The final survivor then wins the money.

So if Bill, Jane, Paul and Sally are all playing in their local €30 game at the casino and all have a €5 last longer bet. Bill busts out first hand, Jane finishes in 20th position, Paul finishes in 18th position and Sally bubbles the tournament but finishes in 10th position. Sally then takes €20 from the last longer bet even though she didn't make the money in the tournament itself.> https://www.pokerstrategy.com/news/...

  perfidious: <FSR>, there are top pros who indulge themselves in such bets, but it has never interested me.

Another and more common action is selling (or trading pieces of) oneself.

Long ago, I traded 5 pc of myself in an event with someone. I won the event and she finished out of the money, so I paid her ~$2000.
