Gambling seems to be a natural human activity. We have friendly bets on when Margaret's baby will be born. Not-so-friendly bets on which sports team will be victorious this year. Sometimes we stake money and sometimes the stakes are less tangible. In fiction, however, it's perfectly okay to bet people in a game of chance. Typically a comedy trope, although you might find it in serious fiction with a setting where slavery is accepted. Often (especially if this is used to resolve a Love Triangle), whoever it was who thought the person was theirs to bet in the first place will "lose" them, whatever the result of the wager itself. That doesn't necessarily mean that the other party will "win" them, however. This happens a lot with employers betting employees for whatever reason, yet the Justification — betting their employment contract rather than the employees themselves — is almost never used. Most often the card game is poker, but theoretically any form of game that allows The Bet would work. A comedic form of the Absurdly High-Stakes Game. Compare the Bachelor Auction, which is consensual on the "traded" person's part. Compare Baby as Payment, which is when a baby is used as currency to pay for something else. |

The Untouchables has a much darker variant, where two rival mob bosses play a game of cards where the stakes aren't the lives of their henchmen, but their deaths. Cue a Death Montage of the "chips" being cashed in. | |

In 31 Minutos, a comedy show about a news program run by puppets, it's commented that a member of the crew Bodoque, who has a gambling problem, bet his own aunt. Hilariously, Bodoque defends himself saying that he won the game, so now he has two aunts. | |

Advice and Trust: In chapter 8 Shinji loses a Strip Chess match against Pen Pen and becomes his "butler" for a month (long — and hilarious — story). Asuka wanted to win Shinji back, so she and the penguin played another Strip Chess match. If she won, she would have Shinji back and he would be her cabaña boy for one week; if Pen Pen won, Shinji would be his butler for one month AND she would do all Shinji's chores. Pen Pen lost the match and Shinji. And it was all arranged in order to mess with Misato's head. | |

In Episode V, it is revealed that Lando lost the Millennium Falcon to Han in a card game called sabacc. The way they talk about that ship, it could be considered a person. As it turns out, the Falcon's computer contains the uploaded memory core of Lando's droid L3-37 (for whom he may have had feelings) after she was destroyed on Kessel. | |

The Simpsons: In "Children of a Lesser Clod" (the episode where Homer starts a home day care center after breaking his knee in a basketball accident), one of the video clips of how much of a horrible father Homer is to Bart, Lisa, and Maggie shows Homer betting Maggie in a poker game — and losing her to Moe Szyslak. In "The Burns and the Bees", Mr. Burns and some other billionaires were reunited for a card game and Burns added Smithers into the pot. Rich Texan said that, since they were betting people, he'd add his basketball team. Despite thinking they're "hardly worth a Smithers", Burns accepted it. And won. Burns and Rich Texan once waged all their worldly possessions on a scavenger hunt. Once Rich Texan won, he started riding Smithers as if he was another prize. Sure, Smithers' employment contract was more likely to be linked to the power plant rather than Mr. Burns, but still... |

In The Phantom Menace, Anakin and his mother Shmi were slaves whose prior owner, Gardulla the Hutt, lost them betting on podraces to Watto, and Anakin wins his freedom after another podrace. And whether it was Anakin or his mother was decided by a chance cube throw. The Jedi didn't exactly leave it to chance, though. Anakin and his mother were originally owned by a Hutt named Gardulla who won them by cheating in this game (and Gardulla tended to cheat at sabacc a lot). Watto won them from her by betting on another pod race, and he was known to cheat too; the dice cube he used in that previous example was loaded, according to some sources. (Still, at least he wasn't as cruel as the Hutts tended to be.) | |

The Transformers: In "The Gambler", Smokescreen uses his deactivated Autobot comrades as collateral in a deal with vicious Loan Shark Lord Gyconi as part of a bid to eventually free them by winning the jackpot with slot machines. His confidence in wagering his friends is justified due to him hacking the machines so that he'll always win, but he still gets greedy and continues playing even when he's won more than enough money to free them. Smokescreen loses all his winnings when his cheating method is disabled, and Gyconi makes the Autobots mind-controlled slaves to fight in his deadly Gladiator Games. | |

Liar Game vaguely implies that something similar happens to its losers, but it never goes beyond the LGT making a few sinister comments about getting their money back one way or another (though the amounts involved are high enough that they clearly cannot be paid off through normal means). | |

In the Xanth series book Demons Don't Dream, Dug makes a bet with his best friend Edsel that Ed won't be able to find a game to interest Dug, with the stakes being Ed's motorcycle and Dug's girlfriend Pia. When Dug tells Pia about the bet, she is fine with it, and when Dug ends up losing, he isn't upset at all, since at the end of completing the Companions of Xanth computer game, he had fallen for Kim, the other person playing it. | |

A variation of this occurs in episode 16 of the first anime season of Black Butler, when Ciel and Sebastian meet the spirit of Edward V in a castle. Prince Edward and Ciel play a game of chess to pass the time, and Ciel reluctantly bets Sebastian, because the Edward's younger brother Richard took a liking to him. Ciel loses. Although he gets Sebastian back, of course. | |

In the Big Finish Doctor Who story "The Stones of Venice", the Duke of Venice gambled his wife away in a game of chance. In response, she put a hundred-year curse on the city, and the Doctor and Charley arrive the day before the curse is due to take effect. In "The Fires of Vulcan", the Doctor, in fairly urgent need of some local currency, offers Mel up as stakes in a game of dice. Fortunately, he wins. |

The Robert Asprin novel Little Myth Marker, part of his Myth Adventures series. The title is a reference to Little Miss Marker. Subverted in that is later revealed that this was done deliberately on the orders of the "kid" bet so as to infiltrate the hero's household. Likewise, the fan version, Hoyle's Rules of Dragon Poker, allows this. | |

After losing more times, the Skipper has nothing left to bet, but Mr. Howell finally has him choose which hand has a pebble. When the Skipper chooses wrongly again, Mr. Howell delivers Gilligan back to him. When the Skipper protests that he lost, Mr. Howell cites all the damage Gilligan did while working for him and says whoever has Gilligan is the loser. | |

In BattleTech lore, Hauptmann Caradoc Trevena pulls this trick at an officer's card game to acquire the transfer of Leftenant Isobel Murdoch, an actual competent second-in-command, along with her Hunchback Battlemech, to his unit. His unit comprised entirely of Light Battlemechs piloted by a Ragtag Bunch of Misfits, New Meat, and Nice Guys survives the Jade Falcon invasion of Coventry intact and manages to link up with reinforcements thanks in part to her training and command skills, where larger, more prestigious, and more powerful units fighting alongside them are annihilated by the Falcons because they did not have discipline, good command, or common sense. Clan trial also work this way they wager in almost anything, be it equipment, mechs, and even personnel. The winner gets the spoils wagered, and even their opponent when they want to. If a warrior is captured and made a bondsman to a new Clan, then goes on to have a good career after re-earning their warrior status, it's not uncommon for their new Clan to hold a Trial of Possession for that warriors genetic legacy from the old Clan in order to win the rights to use that warrior's DNA in their Iron Wombs when making the next generation. |

In Amazing Grace, William Wilberforce pulls out of a card game when his opponent bets a slave, something the opponent did for the express purpose of testing Wilberforce's abolitionist convictions. Needless to say, a serious example. | |

NewsRadio did this with Bill, who is appalled when he learns that he was bet against a mixing board until he's told the board is worth millions. It is explained as being a clause in Bill's contract. Being lost in a card game is apparently defined as an act of God, as the contract refers to Jimmy James as God. | |

(Because Pete is an albino, and St. Cloud collects those.) Billy accepts without hesitation, much to Pete's annoyance. He wins. | |

A sidequest in Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords involves a man who's lost his girlfriend in a Pazaak game. You can win her the same way; if you do, you learn she doesn't want to go back to him, and actually won't unless you threaten to sell her to the Hutts. It isn't clear how he could claim ownership to transfer either way, as this took place on a Republic station, but there is a Mafia-like presence there so it's plausible she would become a victim of trafficking. | |

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Done entirely seriously in the (Daniel J.) D'Arby the Gambler battle in Stardust Crusaders, where people bet their souls in various forms of gambling. D'Arby's younger brother Telence has a similar power, except the bets are always over video games. A more gruesome example comes in the form of Stone Ocean's Marilyn Manson, a Stand which immediately and invariably enforces the terms of the bet it oversees. If the loser doesn't have the money they bet on their person, it collects parts of their body based on their going rate on the black market. |

In Solo, we see exactly how Han wins the ship from Lando. Han needed the Millennium Falcon for a job, so he played a few rounds of Sabacc with Lando, constantly upping the stakes until he bets the Falcon. However, Han loses because Lando was cheating, but Lando agrees to work with them anyways. After the job was finished, they had a rematch, but Han steals the cards up Lando's sleeve first. This time, Han wins the ship fair and square. | |

Plankton tries forcing SpongeBob to make a Krabby Patty, but only becomes frustrated when he refuses and drives him crazy with his rebellious attitude, even after he steals his brain and puts it in his robot chef. When Plankton finally gives up and gives SpongeBob back to Mr. Krabs, he admits he cheated in the card game. | |

In The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (1947), one of Walter's fantasies is life as Antebellum Mississippi riverboat gambler Gaylord Mitty. The dream starts with Gaylord winning the deed to his rival's plantation. The rival then tries to stake his fiancee's hand, which he knows Gaylord is greatly interested in, but Mitty is "unable to hold a lady to such a bargain" and the wager is changed to the rival "going North" against Mitty's winnings. The rival loses, accuses Mitty of cheating, and loses the showdown. Gaylord then restores the plantation to the young lady, whose father had been swindled out of it years earlier, and leaves to join his regiment because the first shots of the Civil War had been fired. | |

Unfortunately, his opponent is Lando Calrissian, who uses the titular hand to beat him, winning Chopper in the process. The Ghost crew has to help Lando in his schemes for the rest of the episode in order to win Chopper back. Considering what happened in Solo, Lando may even have cheated. | |

The soul of oneself or loved ones at stake is a common setup in Yu-Gi-Oh!, technically the good guys don't (usually) initiate such games; yet are forced to play them through anyway. For example, Pegasus and Kaiba duel for Mokuba's soul, which is literally in a card, and with Kaiba also offering his soul if he loses. He does, so his soul goes into the card. | |

Happened in the Johnny Bravo episode "Hunted", where Johnny was bet and lost by Momma to a big game hunter (a character homage to Sydney Greenstreet) in a poker game. He cheated in an obvious manner (five cards in a standard four suit deck of cards) but it took the length of the episode for Momma to realize this and come to Johnny's rescue. | |

In The Beiderbecke Affair, Jill Swinburne loses her boyfriend, Trevor Chaplain, to his former fiancee, Helen of Tadcaster, in a coin-toss after a night of heavy drinking. Mrs Swinburne honours her agreement with Helen, but Mr Chaplain goes back to her anyway because "nobody wins me at the toss of a coin." It is strongly suggested that this is a new development in Trevor's persona since the time when he and Helen were engaged. | |

In Kaiji, gamblers who didn't win enough onboard the Espoir were threatened with slave labor. Later, Kaiji is involved in quite a few gambits where his own physical health/life is on the line. Liar Game vaguely implies that something similar happens to its losers, but it never goes beyond the LGT making a few sinister comments about getting their money back one way or another (though the amounts involved are high enough that they clearly cannot be paid off through normal means). |

This is the driving feature behind the Pandavas' exile in the Mahabharata. Yudishtra, the Crown Prince, has but one fault — a propensity to gamble. His evil Uncle Shakuni invites him to gamble with his cousin who craves the throne. However, Shakuni has cheating dice. Yudisthra bets and loses everything he owns and then begins to wager his brothers, then himself, then his wife, Draupadi. She is dragged, shrieking, by her hair, into the assembly, and is ordered to be stripped. As they do it, she cries out to Lord Krishna, who transforms her sari into a neverending sari. When they fall down from exhaustion from pulling at the folds, she delivers such an impassioned and resentful speech at Yudisthra's family - her in-laws after all - about her vile treatment, that they agree to give the brothers back their lives and change it to exile from the kingdom instead. | |

In Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds, there are two factions called "families" in Crash Town who compete for extraction of raw materials. To strengthen their power, both families send a representant of the respective family in a duel. The loser becomes a slave worker for the other family and he has to work in a mine for the rest of his life. It's worth noting that the duelists often come from different places all over the world, and the main reason why they are insane enough to put their lives on a wager is because Crash Town attracts challengers. | |

This happens to the protagonist in "The Tiger's Bride", one of the retellings of Beauty and the Beast in Angela Carter's The Bloody Chamber. Her father loses her to the "beast" (she notes that it's not that he cared more about gambling than his daughter, just equally much). And then he turns out to be a tiger in human's clothes and she turns into one too and willingly stays with him while sending back to her father a clockwork version of herself because clearly that's all he wants. This must be symbolic of something... | |

Leah and Jacob meet the men who were coming to pick up Ruti and with some effort get them to agree to take a bunch of their possessions instead of Ruti. Unfortunately for Ruti, this results in Laban treating her even worse than before. | |

In the Mage: The Awakening quickstart Gloria Mundi: One of the characters has an NPC ally due to having won the NPC's soul stone from him in a card game. Under the customs of Magical Society, they're entitled to three services from the NPC and must then return the stone. When a villain steals the soul of one of the PCs, the PCs have the option to gamble one (or more, if things go badly) of their own souls in hopes of winning it back. They can also bet the aforementioned NPC, but that dings the Karma Meter. |

Shows up in the backstory of one of the protagonists in Kyoshi Rising; Wandering Minstrel Sun almost lost his previous travelling partner to a bunch of sandbenders when he bet too high in a game. He won, fortunately, but his partner thanked him by taking the winnings and framing him for robbery. | |

In an episode of How I Met Your Mother, Barney wagers (and loses) Marshal in an inscrutable Asian card game while they are having his bachelor party. It's all an elaborate prank on Barney, though, so everyone laughs in the end... Except for Barney, who thought he was to blame for Marshal getting his hands chopped off. | |

Variations are seen in The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift: The opening race, pitting Sean against a jealous high school jock, sees the jock's girlfriend offer herself as the prize for the winner. Played with, as when Sean appears as though he's about to win - and the girl teases the jock about it - the jock purposefully wrecks both cars, and it's implied neither driver gets the girl. The climactic race also has shades of this, as the Loser Leaves Town stakes imply that Neela will remain with the winner. |
