Lucky Lady?

#1
At Casino AZ here (not the BEST casino for card counting and not the worst, but decent for steering), they've got a side bet of "Lucky Lady", which is, if your first two cards equal 20 (face cards or A,9) then you get at LEAST 4:1 on the side bet. If it's two matching cards, I think it pays 10:1 and if it's two identical cards, it pays 100:1. What's a good count to bet on something like that? Many times do I get facecards when the count is +4 or more, but a friend figured out, +6 would be the ideal count to throw down a few bets on the Lucky Lady.

Anyone agree/disagree? And did I miss a thread when I searched for this?

Jesus, I'm definitely not the first one to see this and I obviously searched incorrectly. Thanks for the links, man. I guess we were dead on with +6 or more.

I think Panama Rick publicly posted the TCs for this bet about 5 years ago. I'm not sure how long he had been playing it before he went public with it or how many other people had figured it out independently. It’s a pretty old bet but the casinos seem to like it (and so do we ;)).
