I am sure you have heard stories of poker like this before …

A player is either a game, but ends up having a bad run. He loses his temper and is desperate to make a comeback, convinced that the hand will be the next opportunity. So there he is, with no more money to put on the table. What do you do? He bets something of value.

Remember last James Bond film, actually a film label poker in a recent article? Remember that the game of poker between such Greek and 007? The odds of another kind to his car, certain that he would win. I it was an Alfa Romeo, I'm not sure, my memory is a bit confusing (all I can remember is Daniel Craig as James Bond). In any case, Bond wins the hand and the car, of course.

The question is, does this really happen in real life?

You bet I do!

Check out this news clip Avanova.com:

Men from Russia lost his wife in a game of cards after putting her up as a game instead of cash. Andrei Karpov, from Murmansk, had run out of money in a game of poker and offered his opponent his wife instead of cash to stay in the game.

When Karpov lost the party and its rival, Sergey Brodov, appeared to claim his prize, his wife Tatiana was so angry she decided to divorce her husband and began a relationship with Brodov.

He has since married Brodov and said he does not regret leaving her first husband.

She said: "It was humiliating and I was totally embarrassed. But as soon as my ex-husband did not know I had to quit.

"Sergey was very handsome, charming man and I'm very happy with him, even if he did" win "me in a poker game.

Talk about crazy! At this time one would think that putting a person as their participation not be possible! When you think about it, however, everything looks like fun, right? I mean, it irritates me that a guy who bet his wife as if "property" it (as if a person really can own another person). Moreover, the wife leave him and marry the other – I'm sorry, but this sounds like something out of a soap opera or something from the Middle Ages!

No wonder people who are not in poker in a negative view of most of the time. When we hear or read news like this, your eyes probably pop in amazement, or perhaps, shaking his head in dismay. Then again, this happened in Russia, where the rules may be very different from the U.S. or in other European countries. This makes me think of Borat, you know that "the journalist from Kazakhstan."? It's like something I would do. I hope have not offended anyone with my thoughts in this article. I just found it really hilarious.

So guys, next time you decide to make his wife up as a bet, make sure you win. Otherwise, they could only meet in divorce court!
