I saw a side bet in Monaco called Split Aces. It is ace based, with big wins for splitting aces that lead to blackjacks, especially ace/king blackjacks.

The rules and analysis can be found in my new page on Split Aces. I welcome all comments and questions.

The question for the poll is would you bet the Split Aces?

I would play it, but then I would be side counting the aces anyway 😉

If the bet amount is fixed at one Euro, I would not bet. If it is five or more, I might. This is similar to Blazing 7s.

I believe they had this sidebet with the same pay table at the Fitzwilliam card club in Dublin until it permanently closed in 2019. I would (and did) play it when the count was right and/or when the progressives were large enough.
