I noticed a pair of side bets on Interblock ETGs that pay if the first two cards form a 20 or contain a king. For all the rules and analysis, please see my new page on KK Blackjack Side Bet.

The question for the poll is bet the QQ or KK?

Wow, that's a big house advantage. I guess it needs to be to hedge against card counting hijinx.

One of the easiest side-bets to model mathematically.

Those house edges for a side bet are average. I think the machines shuffle after every round, so counting wouldn't be an issue.
