Mike Shackleford at Gaming Math All are superb, and all are members of this forum, with Mike being the administrator "Wizard". Know that they all cost for professional work done. Also know that side bets for BJ are a rough way to make money in gaming, as there are 40 some odd BJ side bets. Actually, all new game design is a rough way to make money in gaming. see: from a game idea to the casino floor Gambling doesn't build character, it reveals..no character. But a lot of characters. |

| Paigowdan Member since: Apr 28, 2010 Threads: 54 Posts: 2130 | Won't happen. Casino operators like side bets, and enough players play them. You do see a few tables that are BJ only. Gambling doesn't build character, it reveals..no character. But a lot of characters. |

I've seen players at TCP betting only the pair+, without putting any money on the ante and play bets. Of course the casinos would love this, since they're not even hedging a bad bet <roll eyes> Can you do the same at other games? This space is closed for remodeling |

I would like to remove myself from consideration, as I just don't have the time right now. There are others I recommend on my Gaming Math page, linked above. It's not whether you win or lose; it's whether or not you had a good bet. |

| NicksGamingStuff Member since: Feb 2, 2010 Threads: 43 Posts: 631 | Here is my BJ side bet idea: Ultimate Insurance-- it is a side bet played every hand and pays 10:1 if dealer has a BJ regardless of which card is up. They could also play regular insurance as well for the Ace up. |

They have that at the Cal Neva in Reno. Except they pay 17-1 for a dealer BJ, and you can bet on a player BJ too. It's not whether you win or lose; it's whether or not you had a good bet. |

Bonus Blackjack: This is a simple pair of side bets that the player and/or dealer will get a blackjack. The player may bet on a player blackjack, dealer blackjack, or both. If the player bets both and the player gets a blackjack composed of an ace and jack of spades then the player will win a progressive bonus. Stephen Au-Yeung
