Hi, I'm new on here. In my local casino, there is a Blackjack Bonus sidebet which pays 19 to 1. I believe that with counting it would be possible to have an edge but I don't know the Maths or indeed the optimal count.
Currently I count -4 for Aces, -1 for 10s and +1 for everything else.
Anyone have any thoughts as to whether this counting method is good and if so, should i increase the side bet amount as the count gets higher and if so by how much and when?
Apologies, if this is a naive post. Is this side bet common in other locations?
