All bets are off - did one wear a bookie hat?

Most people are familiar with the famous 'Dogs playing poker' painting. There are actually a few in the set, and they were really popular in the 1990's in many US homes, and quite a few bars worldwide too.

People remember the realistic looking dogs sat round a table in a smoky room, intently focusing on their poker game. Do you remember any of the dogs wearing a transparent green dealer's hat? Many do, but can't find it anywhere now, and so it's being classed as a Mandela effect.

There were spin off paintings where they were involved in other sports, like billiards, but it's the poker one which is the best known. People are describing every detail of the hat, right down to it's transparent green-tinted visor and wide band. Yet there's no trace of that today...

Present in later work

Like any well-liked original work, there are paintings which followed from other artists which continued the theme, and actually did show a dog wearing the green visor in question. These do not detract from them not being present in the original, although they would likely add to the confusion. Here's an example:

Cassius Marcellus Coolidge

Dog

The set of paintings were created by Cassius Marcellus Coolidge between 1894 and 1910. The later ones were used to advertise cigars, and were commissioned after the popularity of the earlier ones gained wider recognition. There were 18 in total, 11 of which show dogs round a table. The original one, title 'Poker Game', sold for $658k in 2015.

They have appeared in numerous guises, such as prominent background decorations and parodies, in countless popular movie & TV shows, which is fitting considering their age.

The reason for this Mandela Effect is probably one of an assumption. The dogs are playing poker, they are sitting round a table, wearing human clothes. The whole point is that they are behaving exactly like humans would. Those who remember the painting but not the details would remember that much at least, so when retrieving the mental image, the act of putting a dealers hat on one of them seems natural. It's only when a group of people are insisting they did not 'fill in the blank', and one really did wear the hat, that the trouble begins...

Red Dog Poker is also known as Yablon and is a variation of the casino game Acey-Deucey or In-Between. It shouldn’t be confused with Red Dog which is another card game altogether.

This casino game is very simple to learn, which is found in most internet casinos. In terms of land-based casinos, Red Dog Poker has been falling in popularity and fewer and fewer casinos are featuring it.

Rules

Dog Poker

It can be played with between 1 and 8 decks of cards, depending on where you play. However, as only 3 cards are used in any hand, this is less important than in other casino games. The higher number of decks in use, the lower the house edge – although not by much – which is the opposite of most casino games such as Blackjack, where the more decks in play the higher the house edge.

Aces always count as high in Red Dog Poker and suits are irrelevant. All other cards are ranked as in poker with 2 as the lowest.

First of all, you need to decide how much to bet. As in some table games, there is a possibility of 2 bets every hand so take this into account when deciding how much to bet.

The Dealer now deals 2 cards face up in front of them. What happens next depends on the value of these cards.

If the cards are consecutive, so 5 and 6 or Jack and Queen, for example, the bet is a push and is refunded. The hand is then over.

Dog Poker Players Puzzle

If the value of the 2 cards is the same, a third card is dealt straight away. If the 3rd card is the same value as the first 2, the player wins the bet at odds of 11 to 1. If not, the hand is a push and all bets are refunded. Either way, the hand is then over.

If the cards are not of equal value or consecutive, the Dealer announces the ‘Spread’. This is the difference in value between the 2 cards. For example, if the cards were 4 and 10, the Spread would be 5 – there are 5 numbers in between the two, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9.

The aim of the game is to get the 3rd and final card in between the first 2 cards. The further apart these first 2 cards are, the better the chances of winning but the lower the odds.

Once the Spread has been announced, the Player has the choice of ‘Ride’ or ‘Stand’. If you choose to ‘Ride’, you will need to place a further bet equal to the initial bet. If you ‘Stand’, then no further bet is necessary.

A third card is then dealt by the Dealer.

If the third card is between the first 2, the Player wins according to the paytable below:

SpreadPayout
15 to 1
24 to 1
32 to 1
41 to 1
51 to 1
61 to 1
71 to 1
81 to 1
91 to 1
101 to 1
111 to 1


If the third card is equal to either of the other 2 cards, higher than the highest one or lower than the lowest one, the Player loses all bets.

Above is a standard layout for the online version of Red Dog Poker.

In the above example, the Player has bet €5, the Spread is 8. The Player now has the choice of ‘Ride’ and therefore betting a further €5 that the third card will be between 2 and Jack, or ‘Stand’ which means they don’t want to place a further bet.

If the third card is a 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10, the player will win their original bet and the ‘Ride’ bet if they make one at odds of 1 to 1. If the third card is a 2, Jack, Queen, King or Ace, they will lose their initial bet and any ‘Ride’ bet they make.

Red Dog Poker Strategy

Let’s take a look at the chances of winning for each possible Spread.

Number of Cards SpreadPaysProb. Of WinningPlayer Edge
150.077419(0.535484)
240.154839(0.225806)
320.232258(0.303226)

910.6967740.393548
1010.7741940.548387
1110.8516130.703226


As you can see from the above table, the Player starts to get an Edge when the Spread is 7 or higher. This is when there is more chance of winning the hand than losing.

Red Dog Poker is a simple game to learn and it follows that the strategy is a simple one as well – If the Spread is 6 or below, ‘Stand’ as there is more chance of losing the hand than winning.

If the Spread is 7 or above, ‘Ride’ as there is a better chance of winning than losing so it pays in the long term to maximize your stake.

When playing this strategy, the House Edge for Red Dog Poker is 2.80% approximately, depending on the number of decks in play.

Red Dog Poker Tips

With most casino games, we would recommend you split your budget into a minimum of 40 bets to ensure you have enough to make the funds last for a while. With Red Dog Poker, there is the opportunity to make a second bet, which you should do if the Spread is 7 or greater. Take this into account when deciding on an initial bet amount.

Don’t play Red Dog Poker, or any other casino game for that matter, when you are tired, stressed or consumed excessive amounts of alcohol as it will impair your judgment and decrease your chances of winning. Although Red Dog Poker is a very simple game to play, and there are very few decisions to be taken, it is still important to be at your sharpest to make sure you play to the optimal strategy.

As with any form of gambling, it is important to only bet within your means and not start to chase any losses trying to win your money back.
