1)you tipped way too much
2)once the dealer asks for it to be on the side bet why do you care where it went?
3)your solution in the future if the dealer wants a toke placed on the side bet is to also make a -ev wager for yourself- in what world does that make any sense?


Here I'm jamming out $70 dollar bets and the rest of the table is flat betting $10 and they couldn't lose

You make it sounds like you're some high roller and they're broke bums. Get over yourself.
Regarding point 3 - obviously, side bets are, off the top, minus EV - however, though I can’t speak to the sidebet mentioned, many have tip points as when they be become, positive EV.
