Raising the stakes with Back Betting
Titan Poker has recently introduced BackBet tables, an innovative new feature to enhance the excitement and action of its poker tables.
What is a Back Bet
A “back bet” is another way to describe a side bet or a prop bet, meaning that players are betting on something they think is going to happen. The Titan Poker BackBet is no different than the way you might have a poker prop bet with your friends in a home game or at a casino. An example would be betting on what cards you think you will be dealt or betting on what the outcome of a hand will be.
How The BackBet Tables Work
When you sit at the designated BackBet tables at Titan Poker, you will be able to start making bets on all sorts of exciting propositions. All you have to do is click on the BackBet icon next to the table image and a sidebar will open. You will then have several betting options available and will be able start wagering on things like what community cards you think will be dealt or what you think your hole cards will be on any given hand.
The BackBet tables also offer a complete betting history so you can keep track of all your side-betting action! You must remember that you have to be an active player at the table to make bets and won’t be able to sit out and continue to place side bets.
What You Can Bet On
Betting on the Board Cards
Before each street is dealt, you will be able to make predictions about which cards you think will be dealt on the board. You will even be able to make wagers on what color or what suit you think the community cards will be.
Betting on Your Hole Cards
You will also have the ability to make a prediction as to what you think your next pocket cards will be. Players will be given different odds according to what they place a wager on. Some betting options include getting dealt pairs, two high cards, two low cards, suited connectors and many more.
Betting the Outcome Of Your Folded Cards
If you are the kind of player who hates it when you’ve folded a winning hand, then betting on the outcome of your folded cards may be just what you are looking for. Even if you fold your hand you will be able to make numerous bets on what you think the outcome would have been, including betting if you would have made a pair, a straight and many more options!
If you’re interested in giving the action of the BackBet tables a try but don’t have an account, why not download Titan Poker through PokerNews and get a massive 200% bonus up to $2,000 when using the bonus code ”POKERNEWS.”

#5 – Live players are much older than online players
You imagine tech-savvy young guns like Viktor Blom being online whizz-kids while seasoned veterans like Doyle Brunson stick to the old-school bricks and mortar poker rooms. But the number of 18-20 year-old grinders frequenting casinos is surprising – and pros of Doyle’s vintage aren’t strangers to playing online either.
#4 – Good players win frequently
Even most experienced pros usually win no more than 60 percent of the games they enter. Yup – 40 percent of the time they leave poorer than when they went it. The trick is to minimize the losses by knowing when not to raise or when to fold – sometimes small battles must be lost before the war is won.
#3 –Tip generously and you’ll get good luck from the dealer
There’s zero mathematical justification for this belief, but if you believe that what goes around comes around, it’s a fair enough principal to play by. Just don’t expect magic – you get what you’re dealt, and the Gods of Poker don’t slip prime cards to the dealer just for you.
#2 – It’s good to mix your play up frequently
If you’re enjoying a good run and no one else has shifted gear, why should you? A good rule of thumb is to switch tactics only if your table image starts to look too close to your natural playing style – that’s when your opponents will make very few errors about your strategy.
#1 – Aces are the most common card on the flop
By far the most common poker myth. People tend to believe that Aces appear on just about every flop, making a KK useless against an AQ or an AK. Balderdash! Studies show that Aces flop no more frequently than other cards, and all online poker sites are checked by a third party gambling commission to make sure there are no irregularities or glitches like this.
