Can Someone Help with House Edge?

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.

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.

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.
