Apart from hotpot sessions, red packet exchanges and nosy relatives, one common occurrence during Chinese New Year gatherings is gambling.

Apart from hotpot sessions, red packet exchanges and nosy relatives, one common occurrence during Chinese New Year gatherings is gambling.
In an Instagram post uploaded Monday , influencer Daryl Aiden Yow was pictured lying on top of a large pile of $50 and $100 notes. They are then dealt two cards facing up and have to bet if the value of the next card is in between the values of the first two cards. But here's the harrowing part – if the third card you pick happens to be the same as either of the first two cards, you'll have to pay double the amount. Ouch.At the start of the game, Yow said he and his friends put $200 each into the pot, totalling $1,600 in all.Unfortunately, he was dealt an ace, which meant that he had to pay double the amount .He shared that he later managed to recoup the $2,000 with a series of smaller bets.
The two cards he needed to avoid were an ace and king, so Yow admitted that when he peeped at his third card, he "felt [his] heart sink so low" because it looked like a king card.
