Analysis of Lucky Ladies side bet for card-counting. I won an extra $15,000+ last year with this side-bet. zg

So using the Hi-Lo you bet the LL at TC >= 7

Yes. And based on the high advantage don't be afraid to through out more than $5. I've hit the QQh with $25 multiple times. zg

Thanks, have you ever hit QQh w/ BJ?

Have you tried that "Dealer 20" "Player 20" that they have on some of the tables at Plaza? The payout can be quite large on a matched pair (spotted 10's I think are excluded on the huge payouts). The minimum is $1 on either or both spots.

It would be a reckless bet without a high count, but would seem to be worthy as an "insurance" bet even at the 4:1 minimum for any 2-card twenty.

Its called Royal20s and its even better than LLadies - any 20 pays 5:1. Unfortuneately, myself and several others have burned that bet out and Plaza was the last remaining spot offering it.

One night at Plaza I had a high-plus and spread to two hands - 3 R20 bets @25 each (including one on dealer - 1st hand JJc (25:1), 2nd hand A9h (10:1), dealer hand KKd (25:1)! The previously friendly pit manager grabbed for the phone with a bewildered look, I smiled and told him when he hung up, "See even a blind squirrel finds an occaisional acorn! zg

I've played the R20 (as you clarified) to advantage myself though never to the windfall you managed to hit it! I have seen it in other casinos with one minor little change....you only had a side bet on the players hand. They removed the dealer bet from the options.

If you didn't know the +count strike point you were NOT playing it to advantage. The other version is LLadies. zg

That is a FANTASTIC bet! I created a special counting system for that bet last year. The bet is so profitable that I trained a partner and brought them up to Vegas just to play it. We had a great weekend's worth of play but eventually started getting too much heat. We've been carefully milking it since then.

I was hoping to get some table time with the Grifter since he introduced me to the bet, but he had already been barred by that point. Luckily we were able to catch up later.

I'll be out there again in May and most likely will make it to Plaza.
