Lucky Ladies Improved Payout

Rate this Entry
In my book, Chapter Ten provides an analysis of the Lucky Ladies bet. The following payoff schedule is used:


Q hearts pair w/ dealer BJ – 1000:1
Q hearts pair – 125:1
Matched 20 – 19:1
Suited 20 – 9:1
Any 20 – 4:1


Results were an advantage at TC +7 (High-Low) but a better SCORE at TC +9. A reader found a better payoff schedule as follows:


Q hearts pair w/ dealer BJ – 1000:1
Q hearts pair – 200:1
Matched 20 – 25:1
Suited 20 – 10:1
Any 20 – 4:1


So, what are the results? With this schedule, the bet becomes advantageous at:


High-Low: +5
REKO: +6
FELT: +9


As with the original analysis, due to the inherent risk in a side bet with a high payout, the SCORE can be improved by delaying the bet to a higher count. The following plots the EV and SCORE using High-Low, six decks, for no bet and bets starting at true counts of 5, 6, 7, & 8.

About Blackjack: The Forum

BJTF is an advantage player site based on the principles of comity. That is, civil and considerate behavior for the mutual benefit of all involved. The goal of advantage play is the legal extraction of funds from gaming establishments by gaining a mathematic advantage and developing the skills required to use that advantage. To maximize our success, it is important to understand that we are all on the same side. Personal conflicts simply get in the way of our goals.
