    To sum all of that up, if you play the imrproved strategy you can lay down the side bet at TC 0 or higher, but only if you are playing the improved strategy. which involves CC indexes for both regular blackjack hands, and for hands involving the tie bet because when you split, there is the ability to split into one hand with a side bet and one hand without. and beating the game at TC 0 requires full use of all indexes.

    The edge is really high at moderate counts, it approaches 10-15% advantage at really high counts though to capitolise you need to use the imrpoved playing strategy or at least the basic strategy for the tie bet.

    You can also get a 10% adv. counting the Baccarat Dragon 7 side bet.

    But that side bet is +EV much less often than this one, and has much higher variance. The score for this one is going to be way higher, but in practice it's probably constrained by the limits. I saw a place with $100 limit.
