Abstract
In a card game wherein a two card hand is dealt to a player, a wager is placed on the sum value of the hand being either "nine-up" or "eight-down". The sum value is determined by adding the numerical face value of the two cards of any non-pair hand, figure cards having a zero value. "Nine-up" includes sum values of 9 to 19 while "eight-down" includes sum values of 0 to 8. Pair hands, i.e. two similar figure cards or having equal face value, regardless of suit, are given rankings different from those of non-pair hands.
