We used to gamble by throwing coins a wall, closest wins the money. Can't remember what it was called now but we had to keep an eye out in the corridors as it was banned.

exactly the same, just not the scooby doos, or i just don't remember them
 
-ProSet Football cards
-Top Trumps
-Collecting used ink cartridges
-Collecting fancy rubbers (no, not that sort of rubber...)
-Shell suits
-Calculator watches (apparently these are making some sort of retro-kitsch comeback..)
-Using the stop watch on said watches and trying to make it stop exactly on 1s, or 10s, or 0.01s lower than the 100m world record etc, at which point that would become the new mark to beat
-Nerds/Dweebs or other assorted sweets with 92349234 E-numbers

We use to call it flicksy's, pitch and toss is the right name I think.

Obligatory football stickers.
Oh, and Pokemon Cards :o
 
lol at gel pens, people were obsessed with those.

The main one for me was Pokemon cards. Pogs were really popular at one stage as well.

I remember this, can't remember the name either.

We also had a game where two people had a pound coin each, one would put his pound coin on the floor, and we had to take like 5 steps away, and try to hit the coin and flip it. The person who flipped the coin wins, and would be a quid up :P

Yes POGS! not caps LoL could've been caps in Swedish though. I had one of those machines that could cut them out from various things/cards etc.
 
Pokemon
Yo-Yo's
Digimon - the ones where you linked up at the top and whichever fired double powers at the end won. :D
Them alien pod things, no idea why though.
