Blind Bet

1 min read

In poker, a bet made by a player without seeing his hole cards.

A "Blind Bet" refers to a wager placed in a casino game without the player having seen their cards or the outcome of the game. This term is commonly used in poker, where players may be required to make a blind bet (such as the small blind and big blind) before any cards are dealt. The purpose of blind bets is to create an initial pot and encourage action in the game. In other contexts, a blind bet can also refer to any bet made without complete information about the game or situation, relying instead on strategy or intuition.
