I visted an Indain casino here in Oregon that had a new side bet I hadn't seen before on their blackjack table called "Slingo". Using shuffle tracking and counting I was up $450 in a few hours just from the sidebet. I was hoping some of the math wizards here could let me know if I was just lucky or as it appeared it's a money maker for good shuffle tracking and counting. Please no general comments about how all side bets are sucker bets, I want to hear from the math wizards on this one on the probabilities, thanks.
Below is the payouts
The grid on the table is a bit let like Roulette, you put your bet in the box for what the total of the 1st two cards will be and you could if you want put a bet in more than one square. With shuffle tracking and counting & a side count on the aces I was just betting the Total of 20 with a high Ten count and with a high Ten / Ace count the Total of 21 bet, I stayed away from the others.
