Currently (5 people, 3M, 2F):
- $1 for cards per game .  2 for strikes, 1 for spares. Using 2 decks with jokers, no wild cards.

- $2 high score per game - only guys play this.

Used to:
- $1 for cards - 12 card limit (put in place because we had a bowler that always seemed to throw 8+ strikes per game....and we only had 2 decks of cards!)

- "turkey" gets you $1 from each teammate. 6 in row gets $2, 9 in row gets $3, etc.

- Get hung - you pay each teammate $1.

Other ideas that were thrown around:
- Quarter strike pot.  You put in a quarter every time you strike.  Most strikes at end of game (or night) gets the pot.

- Nickel or dime spare pot - same as above except with spares.

We play $1 for cards and $1 for high game.  If you get stuck, you put $4 into those pots and watch them grow  I've taken over $20 off the table in one game.  It gets very interesting.

We also do $.50 strikes.  If more than 1 person strikes in a frame you all put in $.50.  If only one person strikes, they get the pot.  If that doesn't happen all night, then the pot carries to the 10th frame of the 3rd game and it becomes best first ball.  i.e. 9/ is better than 8/ obviously.  A tie at the end goes to a split pot.
