Mangosteen Poker: The sexy bet you can't lose

Thai bar girls will gamble on just about anything so, to win a few sexual favours, you could lure them into a game of Mangosteen Poker. It's more fun than Strip Poker because, unlike playing cards, mangosteens are delicious and, more importantly, you can't lose.
Like oranges, mangosteens contain a number of segments beneath a thick outer skin. They are perfect for gambling because this number always varies. In Mangosteen Poker, your bar girl adversary has to guess the number of segments before you break open the fruit but you have the distinct advantage of knowing the correct number beforehand.
If she guesses right and you guess wrong (which only happens when you want it to), your girl wins 20 baht but, if she loses, she has to perform a forfeit - like flashing her tits, for example. If you both guess right or both guess wrong, no one wins and you just eat the fruit together.
The more she loses, the naughtier the forfeits become so the latter stages of the game should be played in the privacy of your hotel room.
To win the bet, take a quick look at the base of the fruit. Here you will find a small brown appendage shaped like a cog-wheel. The number of teeth on it is the same as the number of segments inside. Hardly anyone knows this secret.
What you can win is limited only by your imagination.
