I don't know the answer, but thats the best LL pay table I've ever seen - most beatable.
Where is it?
Okay, I'll guess it to be 11.5%. zg

Just to verify a few things...The two "Pair of Qs" bonuses are for any Qs, not just a certain suit? Usually it is reserved for Q,Q of Hearts or sometimes Spades. And the Q,Q pair pays 25:1 not 125:1, right? I just want to make sure I understand the differences from the standard pay table before I check this out.

OOPS, okay my new guess is 16%. zg
Wow. I assume that means in favor of the player? Let me know when you have confirmed with a pm including your Paypal email so I can send the $25.
Thanks for the help,

Okay, final answer time. There were a few glitches in my last post because I was converting an old spreadsheet to match the new rules and I missed a few important details. The player advantage for this side bet is -14.4%. It looks like ZG was pretty damn close with his guess of 16%. That's much better than the typical house edge on this side bet, but still pretty bad.
No, that's in favor of the house. If it was in favor of the player I wouldn't post it publicly. I'd keep it for myself.
Don't worry about the money. Save it for your next casino trip.

Sticking my nose in...
Everybody knows that tlop is not playing this bet, but offering it, and that he's in South America, right? This doesn't mean you shouldn't help him, though.

It can be a popular bet for you to offer. Sonny will post his email address for the PayPal payment, right? zg

Right. Now we just need to find out which one!
Giving him the house edge isn't really helping him that much. If anything, it's helping us. Now everyone has a head start on finding ways to beat the bet before they offer it. But don't ask me 'cause my lips are sealed.

Tlop, send the payPal to me - Marcus Dalton [email protected]. I mean it, comprende? zg
I'll give this a shot for the fun of it.
But, before I do, do you mean by "Matched 20" they must be of the same rank and suit which is what I would think it means.
As opposed to, perhaps, only maybe "Ranked 20" which would exclude the matching suits as a requirement.
It just seems a little unusual to have the "Matched 20" in a paytable that also allows for any pair of Queens as opposed to suited Queens of a suit.
So, before I get to "Matched 20 or Ranked 20"'s, and since some of those hands would qualify for a higher payout, before I go thru it, I want to know which hands to exclude.
In the meantime, as a start, to Zen and Sonny,
do either of u get 1,999,872 ways of getting a pair of queens with a dealer BJ?
And 40,403,664 ways of getting a pair of queens without a dealer BJ?
I get a player EV of: -0.058579992 (a house advantage of 5.86%) Maybe me and excel are having a bad day.
