13 Good Bets to Make With Your Boyfriend

GOOD BETTING IDEAS FOR COUPLES

Bet On the Weather:

This is a friendly bet idea for couples who are easing into the betting game. It is easy and the rules are simple to follow.

Cup Flip Game:

This is such a creative bet for couples of any age. To play, you will need to place six short sticks on the counter or a flat elevated surface.

You and your boyfriend will then start flipping plastic cups (red solo cups are preferred but you may use any plastic cup of your choosing). When you flip your cup and it lands upright, you will move the money one space towards your direction – the person who flips the cup upright the most and moves the most spaces wins the money when it gets to their end of the stick. This is an interesting bet to make because it is fast-paced and requires a fast handi-coordination.
