One person is designated the “odds” player while the other is labeled “evens”. Players hold one hand out in front of them and count together to three (sometimes chanting “Once, twice, thrice, SHOOT!” or “One, two, three, SHOOT!”). On three (or “shoot”), both players hold out either one or two fingers. If the sum of fingers shown by both players is an even number (i.e. two or four) then the “evens” player wins; otherwise the “odds” player is the winner. Since there are two possible ways to add up to three, both players have an equal chance of winning.
