Hereabouts "down pat" and "standing pat" are both understood within the context of "a pat hand" meaning "a set hand with no need to draw". An extension of the term into the outer world of anti-gamblenouses seems obvious. Or, if you prefer, a "pat" eventuality. The "pat" is made sonarphorous by a knock or "pat" on the table signaling no draw.
