How does the scoring work in Spades?
How to Keep Score. For making the contract (the number of tricks bid), the player scores 10 points for each trick bid, plus 1 point for each overtrick. For example, if the player's bid is Seven and they make seven tricks, the score would be 70.
What causes penalties in Spades?
If a team wins less tricks than they have originally bid, they lose points equal to 10 times their bid. If a NIL bet is successful the player gets 100 points, but if it fails the penalty is losing 100 points. A successful BLIND NIL scores 200 points, but an unsuccessful one is penalized by 200.
Can you go negative in Spades?
Yeah, it's maybe a little non-intuitive to track bags for negative scores because that -11 is one away from hitting 10 bags (like a score of 19 would be). For instance if you're at -53, bid 4, and take 7, you'd be at -110 with the -100pt penalty for sandbagging.
