Two Up School
by scrooge1947
Two up is an old Australian Gambling game, u have 2 coins, placed on a stick (or similar)
one coin showing a head, one showing tails, they are then thrown with a twist of your wrist to make them spin, going above your head..
People then bet on heads or tails, you must get a result by spinning either 2 heads or 2 tails, one of each and you must spin again, if I remember if u spin one of each three times everyone looses their money.
