I never play Lucky Ladies, or any other side bet.
So one day, I was playing at this table, where almost everybody else, except me, was betting money on this side bet ($25 limit, most people betting $1-$5). And they were all insisting I should try it, just because I hit a few 20's in the last few hands. I actually thought about putting down $5 for a few hands, but still decided to stay away from it.
2 or 3 hands later, and I kid you not, I was dealt a pair of Q's of heart, and the dealer showed a BJ. Everybody started screaming at me, but I stayed calm, explaining how I never play it. I was calm on the outside, but it still hurt.
Never before, or after this, I've bet money on Lucky Ladies. In high counts, I guess you could make a few bucks, or at least break even, but with these 8D games that I can only play, those high counts, that would justify putting the money down on this side bet, are so rare.
