I was reviewing my last trip to Vegas (actually a family vacation to Law Vegas and San Diego) where I got in about 6 hours of play. I was experimenting a bit, ended up winning just $200 in those. Among the questions..
1. We don't have Lucky Ladies of Buster BJ side bets in my local casinos but playing $25 minimum games, I would get a couple of red chips from time to time when I hit a BJ and I would bet then on side bets. I had no real clue on when to get the Lucky Lady side bets but since totals of 18 - 21 win some money, I would play it on negative counts. I did not keep track but occasionally won. In retrospect, I was probably throwing away money and essentially making my BJ pay out 1-1.
2. At one casino, playing heads up, I was playing two hands to start in DD, each with one Green chip. However, when another player joined in, they insisted that I play double the minimum if I wanted to play 2 hands. I started of playing the first round at 2 x $50, playing both hands if I won both hands or if count got positive, dropping to one hand of $25 in all other situations. Since my max bet was only 2 x $125 at TC4, maybe it was a mistake starting out at 2 x $50 as the casino has edge.
