    Probability of rolling 8 with two fair 6-sided dice = 5/36
    Probability of rolling 9 with two fair 6-sided dice = 4/36
    Probability of rolling anything else with two fair 6-sided dice = 27/36
    Win/Loss to Player in case of an 8 roll = 2
    Win/Loss to Player in case of a 9 roll = 3
    Win/Loss to Player in case of any other roll = -1
    Expected Win/Loss to Player = (5/36)(2)+(4/36)(3)+(-1)(27/36) = -5/36

    Hence, the player can expect to lose approximately 14 cents per dollar wagered every time he plays this game. There is no way to get an advantage; stay away from this side bet.

    If understand correctly you win on Eight or Nine and lose on anything else. Even if you get 3 to 1 for both Eight and Nine the best you can do is breakeven.
    Win: 9 x 3 Lose: 27 x -1 = 0

    Unfortunately, the calculations remain the same whether we call the bet a "main bet" or a "side bet". If you want an advantage, don't look for it in this game.

    If you bet on BANKER :-
    When 2 dice total = 8 and you win, pay 2 to 1 ?
    When 2 dice total = 9 and you win, pay 3 to 1 ?
    When 2 dice total = 1 to 7 and you win, pay 1 to 1 ?

    No commission on banker ? When BANKER total is 6 and you when win, pay 0.5 to 1 ?

    Where can I find the that online casino ?

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.
