Lucky Ladies payout

[Ferretnparrot]

A time period ago i was in a casino at a table with the lucky ladies side bet and noticed that instead of the typical 25000$ table max payout limit, there was a 5000 dollar one, which is kinda cheap since if you hit 1000:1 on a 25$ max bet they would be duping you out of 20 grand! Definately something to look out for

-What kinda effects do you think this would have on the return if you were betting the max? Does the scarcity of this payout make it have little to no effect?

-How do you suppose the 25000 dollar cap works? if somebody has a 25$ and hits 1000:1 and somebody else hits for 4:1 who doesnt get payed?
-Also anybody ever actually hit this payout?

I placed my very first bet on it last night when the count went favorable AND i happened to be at a table that offered the bet, i lost both of them but i was proud to have put it in the circle, so it was exciting to me.

The cap kills your advantage. It would keep you from betting more than $5. You subtract 3 from the running count for every deficient QH so by limiting the max payout you probably wouldn't bet over $5 except in extreme counts. The cap is per hand so every winning hand gets paid. I have seen this payout hit. I tried to shuffle track the cards next time through but ploppies flocked to the table and the QH's came out 4 cards apart.

Naaaw. Most of the money is in the smaller payoffs + LL jackpot. zg
