Is there a need to be watching the games for not just the kids gambling, but watching for everyone that gambles at the high school hockey games?

Well I know that it goes on, well where I watch the games, well it is not much money, but it I think brings some fans to watch the games.

Still drawing a blank.......

There is alot more gambling going on than people think. There is action on the big games during the year. The sections get more action. The state tournament is huge.

Is this action mainly between friends? or is there a network for anyone to get in on it

Well I have just seen it between friends.

So its like a football pool or marchmadness thing. Don't worry about it.

So can the players get in on the action or is it just for the officials?

Well, I think you use the word well a bit much.

Are the kids playing the clock game, betting on who scores next or running a bookmaking operation in the bleachers? If it's just kids entertaining themselves I wouldn't get too worked up.

The clock game is sick. It's a state tourney tradition.

An example would be: Roseau 1 flat over Moorhead with a over/under of 5-.

This topic is akwkard haha...it is not really going anywhere

the greatest gambling at a hockey game is the Clock Game, no need to watch the game just the clock

I most definitely agree with that

What exactly is this clock game?

I enjoy the First Goal Scorer Contest. Everyone tosses in a dollar and picks a player. First goal wins the pot.

Yeah i remember us Boys from Monticello were playing the clock game with quarters and then we look over a the Kids from Edina are playing with 20's

I do or should I say did....but I never get to collect. The only reason I'm complaining is I'm out of a icy, cold, golden, yummy malted beverage and I'm not going out tonight to get some. Geez...I think I just talked myself into walking down to the corner pub ...see you fellas when I get back.

The clock game at the state tournament is always exciting, but can take your focus off the game .

explain...........

So you have a group of friends you're sitting with at the game... you each pick a number 0-9 after every whistle you put a dollar in the pot and then at the next whistle that stops play what ever the last number on the clock is the person wins the pot... and repeat until broke!
(some play after a goal the pot triples but that tends to get expensive)

Ya Plug!

I liked the one where you get a bunch of guys and everyone picks one player from each team. Every time your player scores or gets an assist, everyone in the bet gives them a dollar

there is another game...everyone puts a buck in or what ever amount you want to play for and u pass the money every time the whistle blows and if there is a penalty it skips the next person to get the money and when a team scores the one with the money takes the cash...makes the games a little more intense

Now I get it..... The taller referee at the Orono-Warroad game last saturday was playing the clock game and he cleaned house. I knew there was a reason he called penalties when players even looked at each other.
