Default Barona's newest BJ Twist: Perfect Pairs Bonus

Just got the email...

5:1 for a mixed pair

10:1 for colored pair

30:1 for suited pair

Another way to rake an extra $1/hand....

I'm sure they'll make plenty of dollars from this one. I've seen that side bet before and it's a mean one. The house edge isn't that high but it doesn't win that often.

Just posting what the happy email had linked to...and it's only on multiple decks (doubles and more). Not that I play there, I just am on the email list so that I get the promotion notices.

They should offer it on single deck and see how many people complain about not getting suited pairs.

Note that they do freely offer it on double deck, yielding the 20+% advantage.

Jerks.

A 5% edge is probably not beatable except with complex counts.

Does the edge erode at all in monster High or monster LOW (standard technique) counts?
