Ezugi One Day Teen Patti is a live dealer card game where players bet on whether Player A or Player B will win in a game of Teen Patti.
In One Day Teen Patti, you are not rewarded for the value of the winning poker hand; the payout remains the same at 1.98 or 0.98:1 for correctly identifying the winning hand before the playing positions get any cards.
After that, the payout odds change as cards are added to each hand. You can continue betting as each card gets drawn, allowing you to bet more on a winning hand or against the hand if it’s losing. The objective is to leave the game round with a positive payout.
This form of in-play betting is most popular with sports bettors and great for poker players who understand the true odds of a hand and whether to bet with or against a hand winning.
In this review, I’ll explain how to play One Day Teen Patti, the optimum times to bet, and how in-play betting can increase your payouts or hedge against a losing hand.
What’s unique about this game is the way you bet.
Teen Patti is being used because it is a card game with a uniform number of cards for each playing position. The game could be based on other card games with a fixed number of cards per hand, but all of these have one card, so it wouldn’t make for a very interesting game. With six cards across the two hands, there are five opportunities to have a bet.
You can place a bet before any cards get dealt on playing positions Player A or B. If you’ve guessed correctly, you’ll win 1.98 or 0.98:1.
Then, as each new card is dealt to a hand, new odds get calculated for the hand, and you can place a bet on the stronger of the two hands. The bets are a Back bet (for it to win) and a Lay bet (a bet the hand will lose). This explains why you can bet on Player A in one round and Player B in the next. Honestly, it doesn’t matter, but this method shows you the strongest hand according to the odds.
Of course, you can choose not to place a bet and let your first bet ride until the winner is determined.
You don’t have to place a bet on the hands before they receive their first cards. However, if you do, you will lose the chance to win 1.98 / 0.98:1, as this is the only time these odds are offered.
The idea of this type of betting is to offset your losses if the hand you initially chose is weak or to increase your win potential by betting that the opposing hand will win. You can also do the opposite and bet on the opposing hand to lose if your original hand is strong.
This type of betting is very popular with sports bettors who place these types of in-play bets on sporting events. You might hear the term “hedging your bets,” this game offers precisely this.
As I mentioned, this game is about betting on the outcome of two hands of Teen Patti.
Understanding poker hand values is essential to knowing the different hand possibilities based on the cards already in the hand. The software interface shows the hand’s strength by calculating the odds from the cards already in the hand and those remaining in the deck that could make up a strong hand.
You must be able to tell whether the third card will improve a hand enough to beat the other hand. In most cases, it’s obvious, but in some, multiple options could affect the outcome, so this is where a poker brain, looking at the calculated odds and luck, comes into play.
You can join the game at any point during the game round.
Each hand has a running payout total based on the combined odds and the bets you’ve placed. A green figure shows a positive outcome, and a Red and negative one. You can use these figures to help you decide how much to bet if you want to try to recover your losses, depending, of course, on whether it’s possible to recover.
The lower the odds offered on a hand, the more likely it is to happen. So, look for the low odds, which can guide you where to bet.
Before the Dealer deals the first card, you can bet on one of the hands, Player A or Player B. It’s a bet to win and will lock in a payout of 1.98 or 0.98:1. The 0.2 is the house edge built into the game.
As previously discussed, the value of the hands determines the winner. The hand with the best poker hand wins!
You don’t have to place a bet at this point – you’re better off not doing so, as you’ll have more information available to make a betting choice after more cards get dealt.
In this example, I choose not to place a bet.
The dealer deals an Ace of Diamonds to Player A. The playing interface offers Back odds (win) for Player A of 1.34 and a Lay odds (lose) of 1.38.
I placed a Back bet because Player A’s initial card was high, and I wanted to lock in the odds.
Total Bet so far is £10.
Player B is given a Two of Spades, strengthening Player A’s Ace. We’re offered Back odds of 1.28, so I place a £10 bet on Back for Player A.
Total Bet so far is £20.
Player A gets a Six of Spades, a middle-of-the-road card. The odds for the Back are 1.33, and the Lay is 1.37.
I choose not to make a bet in this round.
Total Bet so far is £20.
Player B is given Three of Spades, meaning this hand could get a flush or a straight flush. Because of this, I’m offered odds for the Back at 1.70, and the Lay is 1.74.
I took a chance to place a back bet for 1.70.
Total Bet so far is £30.
Player A receives a Seven of Diamonds. I don’t improve the hand, but as I’m already betting that Payer B won’t have a Flush, I follow up my last bet with another Back at 1.78.
The total bet so far is £40.
Player B receives a Six of Diamonds. So he doesn’t make the flush, so Player A wins.
My return is 21.0 on a £40 bet, so I get a £61 payout.
The hand history shows how the bets are captured and the odds applied to each game round.
This gives a total bet of £40 and a total payout of £61, made up from the return of each bet.
In this game, leaving your betting as late as you can will increase your chances of winning because the more information you have, the better betting decision you can make. The downside is that the payout odds will be much lower than if you started betting when fewer cards are on the table.
For example, if you bet before the dealer deals a card, you’ll get a return of 1.98 or 0.98:1.
I would say that unless the first card out is an Ace, King or Queen, you should wait for the first card on Player B’s hand to appear. And then it’s not a given that you should place a bet. It depends on it’s value. If both playing positions have middle-of-the-road cards, wait for more cards, like a Queen as the minimum.
High Rollers should wait to see at least two cards in both hands or three in one hand before placing a big bet. The return will be small, and you’ll still make a profit, but it will be less than even money.
This strategy or way of playing is high risk, as you place bets as the hands build. Don’t place a bet every time a new card appears. Use your judgement to see which of the hands is strongest and follow that hand. Only use the Lay bet when it’s obvious you’ve got it wrong and need to recover some of your original outlay.
You’ll unlikely recoup your original outlay unless you make a significant bet on the last card.
For reference, the running total of how much you’ll win or lose on a hand is displayed on the betting grid next to the Player A and B bet spots.
I’d advise you to start making small bets—you won’t win much, but betting small reduces the risk while you get a feel for the game and how the betting strategies work.
Once you’re comfortable with the technique, increase your bet amounts.
The past results statistics for the previous 100 game rounds are displayed in a table similar to how Baccarat Roadmaps are presented.
The result of A for Player A or B for Player B is displayed in the grid. A T indicates a tied hand.
It’s unclear from the game rules whether bets are returned in the event of a Tie.
Past hands are no indication of what will happen in the future. Each new game uses a freshly shuffled deck of fifty-two cards and is a unique event in its own right.
However, most players like to use past results to predict what’s likely to happen next. It’s the gambler’s fallacy at work!
One Day Teen Patti is a game you must learn to play. It doesn’t lend itself to being easily understood by just watching.
The presentation of odds is unfamiliar to casino players. Sports bettors will recognise the odds displayed in decimal, and the in-play betting explains why this is a popular cross-over game with sports bettors.
However, just because you’re used to in-play betting doesn’t mean you’ll be good at this game. You need to understand the value of poker hands and identify the strength of the cards and hands. Poker players gain an advantage here and will probably do okay gambling on this game.
There are a few things I thought could be improved, like a running total of how much you’ve bet. The total bet amount disappears every time the dealer deals a new card, and while placing a new bet is a separate action, you only see the total after the bet is made. It’s a small thing, but I was left asking myself several times what I was in for, so I couldn’t work out how much to Lay the next bet to recoup my losses.
The help text didn’t explain what happens when there’s a Tie, and none occurred all the time I played, so I’m still none the wiser.
I think this is an interesting game, and I did pretty well while playing it, but it’s a bit slow for me, so I don’t think I’ll be playing it much.
However, games like One Day Teen Pati have a loyal following, so you should try it to see what you think.
Understanding Poker hand values is an important part of the game when determining the hand possibilities.
The odds the playing interface produces give you an idea of how strong a card or hand is. The closer to 1.0, the better the odds, and the closer to 2.0, the worse.
