Lucky Lucky Combinatorial Analysis?

[paul5795]

Just rereading opening post. Standard payout on suited 21 is 15-1, which I stated as 2.6% house edge. OP has stated 10-1, which essentially doubles house edge, rendering the game unbeatable. I know of a store or 2 that has reduced this portion as described. If accurate, don’t worry about the study, just stay away.

I realize I now have zero credibility here, having been labeled as math ignorant. But I don’t think that increasing the initial house edge from 2.5% to 5% necessarily makes a side bet unbeatable. I know of at least one another side bet where the initial house advantage is about 6-7% (https://www.888casino.com/blog/side-...kjack-side-bet), but this side bet is “beatable” because 1) you don’t have to bet the side bet until the EV is positive (duh), and 2) in at least two casinos I frequent you can make this side bet at amounts significantly greater than the size of your base game bet. Yeah, the hourly win rate is not large, and you couldn’t make a living off this, but I am not in this to make megabucks, just to have some fun. Oh, and at some casinos there are multiple side bets that can be played on the same table, which actually piqued my interest in Lucky Lucky.
