Spades Update

I lost my first ever spades game! Me and my partner were winning for most of the game, but then we ended up losing by a lot!!! Our final score was 3. I tried betting nil, but somehow failed, there mus tbe more to it then simply not picking up any spades. I'll read up about it. They didn't mention this part in the instructions.

Update: There is a more in depth instructions guide in the actual game itself. I'll read it next time I play.
