Egalite winning total side bet

I was recently playing in a casino in London where they offer the Egalite total side bets, initially these seemed like a really good bet due to seemingly high winning odds;

0=150-1
1=215-1
2=225-1
3=200-1
4=120-1
5=110-1
6=45-1
7=45-1
8=80-1
9=80-1

What is the house edge for each of these bets? Are they as good as they seem?

I looked it up on the Wiz's main site. There was only one hit, for a PDF: Rules of casino games in Great Britain



In that 88 page document, there are only four references for 'Egalite':

Quote:

A player who has accepted the shoe may elect to wager on Egalité (a tied hand) only.

Quote:

Winning wagers on Egalité shall be paid, as a minimum, odds of 8 to 1.

Quote:

If the two hands are of equal merit, the wagers on punter and banker shall be void and the wagers on ‘Egalité’ shall win and be paid, at a minimum, odds of 8 to 1.

Quote:

Players do not need to place a standard wager on either the player, the banker or Egalite, in order to place a Dragon Bonus side wager.

It's interesting that the rule book doesn't have any description of the bet.

It's also interesting that the minimum payoff is only 8:1 while the casino Jerry found is paying 45:1 minimum.

I get the feeling that the 8:1 is for ANY tie...

Correct. You get paid 8:1 on ANY Tie (the tie bet). You get paid more odds based on the bonus bet.

I agree exactly! Great work Miplet, as usual. I just added this to my baccarat page.
