The 3 card dragon side bet pays 40-1. This is just a question, but Can i just double my bet every 20-10 hands? I start at....
$5 x 20 bets
$10 x 20bets
$25 x 10 bets
$50 x 5 bets
$100 x 5 bets
$200 x 5 bets

Well, you "can," but keep in mind that slightly more than 1/5 of the time, all 65 bets will lose, costing you $2300, and your "average" win the other 4/5 of the time will be only about $467.

Doubling your bet like this is a version of the Martingale strategy, but it’s risky, especially for high-variance side bets like the 3-card dragon. While a 40-1 payout seems tempting, the odds of hitting it consistently are low. If you go 50+ hands without a win, your losses stack up fast. Starting at \$5 and progressing like that could cost thousands before hitting once. This strategy can wipe your bankroll quickly if luck doesn’t hit early. It’s best to treat side bets as entertainment, not a reliable system for steady profit.
