Yes, sorry, this is for 2 deck. So does that mean that, according to zengrifter's analysis, it requires a TC of +10 for a DD game...even with the higher payout?

I just read the helpful analysis of the lucky ladies side bet. The payout structure used for the sim was the following: Q hearts pair w/ dealer BJ - 1000:1 Q hearts pair - 125:1 Matched 20 - 19:1 Suited 20 - 9:1 Any 20 - 4:1 An advantage was found at TC +7 but a better SCORE/EV at...

Currently in the middle of a looooooon losing streak spanning almost 7 months. All told I've put in almost 300 hours at the table and have nothing to show for it except a negative $2000 in the win column. What's your longest losing streak?
