Lets say I was to play a perfect game card counting. i spread $50-$300 on a DD game with 50% 55% Pen. Now i add in $5.00 lucky ladies on all positive counts and i play $25 on the bust bonus on 50% of the hands. Can I beat the game when i add in the crap bets? or IOW whats the max amount of cover you can play for these two side bets to where youre still playing a profitable game?

If that’s not a stand 17 or LS game and you’re spreading that small combined AND there’s a cut card, the cut card effect is likely gonna destroy you even without the side bet.

Cut card effect: on a poor pen game you’re essentially being preferential shuffled on, a significant percentage more rounds played in decks that go negative than decks that are positive. If you’re getting better than 2/3 pen the effect will be minimized considerably.
