    Blackjack side bet: Tie Side Bet Strategy

    Casinos in Las Vegas offered a side bet on the tie. How it works is if the dealer and player have a tie on their hand totals it will pay 10 to 1. If the player split he will need to split his wager. The game have the following rules:

    Blackjack pay 3 to 2.
    Double Deck
    Dealer soft 17.
    Double after split
    Re-split of Aces allowed.

    However, I found a strategy chart on how to play the tie bet for six deck blackjack game in the Wizard of Odds website but I am having trouble finding the strategy for double deck game. Any advice on where to look to find that strategy or how I can generate the tie bet strategy myself using an basic strategy generator?

    I have a close to optimal hilo cc strategy for this game, the obsticle is that the maximum for the side wager is only 25 dollars.

    The yeild is apx 90 per hour wongin in 2 spots on a 4d s17 game, the strategy would likely be notibly different for an h17 game.

    Shackleford's strategy posted on his website is incorrect forsome of the split descisions. I beleieve he calculated the strategy as if you can hit after splitting aces where as that is not the case.

    strategy deviations weigh in very heavy in this game In fact the HE can be completely ellemiated using indexes alone While flat betting offering atrivial player advantage.

    I have a hilo strategy for a 4d s17 game withthe tie bet side bet aka "push your luck"

    The strategy is only incomplete to the regards of indexes for what i call the "special split"

    when you make a regular split, you put up an addition wager for the hand together with an addition wager for the side bet for the newly created hand.

    Thes pecial split occurs when you split the hand but you do not place an additional side bet wager on the newly created hand. There are indexes for this special split decision when it is more favorable than other play actions, but ihavnt found the values for it yet.

    I have the strategy inan excell spreadsheet i need your email.
