THREE-UP, a gambling game played by costers. Three halfpennies are
thrown up, and when they fall all “heads,” or all “tails,” it is a
mark; and the man who gets the greatest number of marks out of a given
amount—three, five, or more—wins. The costers are very quick and
skilful at this game, and play fairly at it amongst themselves; but
should a stranger join in they invariably unite to cheat him.
