Talk:Two-up

message: .
In particular, in its current form, the article does not mention the (?un-Australian?) swy-specific despicable circumstances of a (late-entering) player "coming in on the grouter" and exploiting the previous work of others. Yet, in these days of "insider trading", and given the approval that is often given to those who "do a Bradbury", perhaps traditional Australian values have significantly altered? Anyway, it seems puzzling that an article on swy neither mentions the despicable behaviour of someone "coming in on the grouter", nor does it mention the fact that the Australian vernacular uses this swy-connected term to uniquely describe a deviant social action (behaviour which, to many, is a far worse social crime than one "bludging on one's mates") 129.94.6.29 16:22, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Why use two coins, instead of just one - the section on the Rules doesn't say how this would make a difference (if indeed it would)? - Matthew238 (talk) 06:41, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: If you used a single coin everyone would have to remember what the first toss was when looking at the second. This would clearly leads to arguments as there wouldn't be 'proof'. By having two coins everyone can clearly see if they are the same or different without requiring any real brain power (which might be reduced by alcohol!) and also makes the 'game' faster and easier. --AlisonW (talk) 09:34, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Two Coins

message: According to the NSW Gambling (Two-Up) Act 1998, two-up in NSW is not unlawful on ANZAC day.
: That may be the case in NSW, but is it necessarily so in other states?  The media usually report that "authorities turn a blind eye" to 2-up on Anzac Day, which suggests it's still technically illegal in the rest of the country.  Does anyone have the correct story?  --  JackofOz (talk) 20:24, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Anzac Day: 2-up legal or do they just turn a blind eye?

message: The game is said in the lead to be Australian, but then says it was originally played in Britain and Ireland? Without a definite origin, would it not be better just to say that it’s a gambling game played with coins, possibly originating in Britain or Ireland, played there and elsewhere and then specify the popularity in Australia and association with ANZAC Day as a reason for its survival there?
The 1960 British film Hell is a City has a plot-point which hinges on an illegal "tossing school” on Saddleworth Moor being broken up by the police; those taking part are playing Two-Up, and its portrayal implies that it would have been popular with a large group of gamblers, and also recognizable to at least enough of the audience that at no point is it explained what the participants are involved in, nor what the rules of the game are.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C8:5988:3E01:E0FB:B1A6:9F27:264B (talk) 11:34, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
