- receiving, by a computing device, from a secondary player at least one criterion for selecting a card game, in which the secondary player includes a player that does not play in the card game;
in response to receiving the at least one criterion, determining, by the computing device at a first point in time, a first card game that matches the at least one criterion, in which a first primary player is to play in the first card game;
determining, by the computing device, odds for wagers that a first event will occur in the first card game based on at least one card having been revealed in the first card game;
presenting, by the computing device, the odds to the secondary player;
receiving, by the computing device, a first bet from the secondary player, in which the first bet includes a bet that the first event will occur during the first card game and is based at least in part on the odds;
determining, by the computing device, that the first event occurs during the first card game;
in response to determining that the first event occurs during the first card game, determining, by the computing device, a first payout based on the first bet and the first event;
adding, by the computing device, credits to an account associated with the secondary player based on the first payout;
determining, by the computing device, at a second point in time after the first point in time, that a second card game in which the first primary player is to play does not match the at least one criterion; and
in response to determining that the second card game does not match the at least one criterion, transmitting, by the computing device, to the secondary player an indication that the second card game does not match the at least one criterion.

23. An apparatus comprising:
-
a non-transitory medium having stored thereon a plurality of instructions that when executed by a computing device cause the computing device to; receive from a secondary player at least one criterion for selecting a card game, in which the secondary player includes a player that does not play in the card game; in response to receiving the at least one criterion, determine at a first point in time a first card game that matches the at least one criterion, in which the first card game is to be played at a first gaming table by a first primary player; determine odds for wagers that a first event will occur in the first card game based on at least one card having been revealed in the first card game; present the odds to the secondary player; receive a first bet from the secondary player, in which the first bet includes a bet that the first event will occur during the first card game and is based at least in part on the odds; determine that the first event occurs during the first game; in response to determining that the first event occurs during the first card game, determine a first payout based on the first bet and the first event; add credits to an account associated with the secondary player based on the first payout; determine, at a second point in time after the first point in time, that a second card game to be played at the first gaming table does not match the at least one criterion; and in response to determining that the second card game does not match the at least one criterion, transmit to the secondary player an indication that the second card game does not match the at least one criterion.
