It depends. What count are you using, H17 or S17, and how much are you willing to deviate from proper strategy. Not even stand on A6 vs. 7. A7 vs. A and 99 vs. 8?
To maximize your odds of pushing you have to play like a S17 dealer. The only exception I think is splitting hands. Some splits are very good for the Tie bet (7,7 vs. 7). Others aren't (4,4 vs. 5).
I gave two strike conditions for HILO in post #7 along with the link to the graph it was based on. The only bad rule for this side bet I can see is H17. I am guessing moving the positive strike point by +1 to become +5 would be more than adequate to assure you are not betting until you have an advantage. I don't think it would affect the tie rate by that much.
