7 side bet, any thoughts if it's worth it?

[monkulescu]

hey there, the casino i go in has a 7 side bet. first card 7 you get 3:1, two 7-s of different color you get 40 : 1, two 7-s of same color you get 60 : 1, three 7-s you get 120:1 and three 7-s same color 400 :1. you can only bet a small amount something like 1$. cand this be profitable keeping a side count of 7-s?

The house edge for this side bet can be found here:

Although it looks like the version you found has weaker payouts. Maybe it is because they are using multiple decks. How many decks do they use?

it's a 6D

Take also a look at pg.35 on BJA3. Don calculated possibilities for 6D, but for higher bonuses.

Let's say you can make 10 profitable bets here per 100 hands at an average advantage of 5%. At $1/bet, that's a whopping 50 cents/100. To acomplish this, you'll need to keep a sidecount of 7s. And the variance will be huge.

So can it be done? Yes.

Should you do it? No.
