A dare game wherein a person issues an outrageous dare to another person, the recipient of the dare must say 1 out of a certain number, demonstrating the likelihood that they will perform the dare. A third party counts the other two people down from 3: i.e. 1,2,3. After the countdown, the darer and the daree must say a number through 1 and the certain number (if they said 1-15, it would have to be a number between that). If both participants say the same number, then the daree must perform the dare. Urban Dictionary
Sort of a dare in game form. One person calls "odds on" the other performing some unpleasant or undesirable task. The other person then sets the odds by giving a number. One will then count down from 3, and both say a number between 1 and the odds number. If the two people say the same number, then the second person must perform the task. Urban Dictionary
A very fun and simple game. What you do is you think of a stupid dare for your friend (or your "friend") and try to get them to do it. You do this by making them lose odds. For example, if I said to my "friend", "Hey, odds you go up to that cute girl and lick her face like a dog?" He would then give a number, let's just say "1 in 20." On a count of 3, we would both say a number between 1 and 20 at the same time, and if it's the same number he has to go do it. It is incredibly fun if you have fun people to play it with. Couple of side rules: -You can't "odds" yourself (e.g. "Hey odds I go hump the teacher's desk", no, if you wanna do it yourself just go off and do it) -The person receiving the odds is the one who decides what the odds are, not the odd-giver -If you lose odds and decide not to do it, you shall receive one full-out slap to da face Urban Dictionary
