	Holdout - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In gambling jargon, a holdout is any of numerous accessories used by cheats to help them "hold-out" a card (or cards) during a game.
		Some holdout devices are extremely simple and require moderate or advanced manipulative skill to be used properly.
		The main purpose of any holdout device is to temporarily hold a card out of the game, so that the cheat may retrieve it at some later convenient time.

	Etheric Musings -- Wangenstein's Holdout Rig
		While the ability of some to draw upon heretofore unknown energies through the use of playing cards remains a mystery to most scientists, some are catching on and building devices that aid and shape those abilities.

		Also, if the Holdout is used to cast a Hex during an actual game of cards, an additional Fair (5) Sleight of Hand roll is needed to hide his use of the Rig from the other players while his focus is on casting the Hex.

	Polymers with improved solvent holdout in electroconductive paper - Patent 4171417
		Thus, in the copolymers of the present invention the cationic portion of the polymer is predominant, while the fluoroalkyl acrylate portion of the polymer, which plays an essential role in establishing the improved solvent holdout imparting properties in the final polymer, is present in minor portions.
		A separate non-conductive solvent holdout layer comprising one or a mixture of conventional binders is usually applied to the paper prior to the application of the conductive layer in order to assist in achieving a solvent holdout effect.
		Solvent holdout to both toluene and paraffinic solvents is essential because the top side of a conductive base paper comes into contact with toluene during the subsequent application of the dielectric or photosensitive coating which comprises dye-sensitized zinc oxide or dielectric resin dispersed in a solution of toluene and a binder.

		Staley's dissatisfaction with the Eagles was similar to Burress' in that he was entering the final year of his contract with no new, richer deal in sight.

		Once a team's third preseason game is in the books, a veteran holdout figures he has made his statement, taken his ill-advised shot, and now it's time to get back into uniform with enough time left to still appear in the regular-season opener.
		But then, that's been the case from day one, because no one else in their right mind would have advised him to jump ship in pursuit of a contract extension that he never had a prayer of receiving.
