Hi all

Basically, I believe this is one of those side bets which may be beatable...

For all of you who don't know how this side bet works, this is how:

A player will receive a bonus if they score a certain pair in a specific suit or colour. The bet is made before the beginning of a round and its limits are set by each table (which are usually around half the maximum bet of the table).

The pay-offs are:
25:1 for any suited pair
12:1 for any same coloured pair
6:1 for a mixed coloured pair

Now, even though pairs aren't so common, and these pay-offs are obviously ridiculous, can we begin to bet on this side-bet if we have not seen a pair in such a long time? Unfortunately, I can't find the exact probabilities for each bonus anywhere, as usually they give the numbers for single deck only.

Say a pair occurs at every x amount of hands. If x+1 hands is reached, should we bet on the side-bet?

Thanks... Hope to see replies!

Unfortunately, not seeing a pair in a long time is a poor indicator of seeing a pair.

Does CVDATA happen to log the amount of pairs in a given amount of hands or anything to do with pairs at all? Thanks...

It tracks the lots of data by first two cards, which would include data on pairs.

Norm, just another question, this time on bankrolls...

I simply don't have a high bankroll of around $20k or so as what I need according to my sims. So, will it still be the same if I take in $500-1000 over several trips? If it is, is it possible for you to tell me what my stop losses/wins are? I apologise if I'm annoying as I can't seem to sim this idea of several low bankroll trips .....

Thanks....

Stop losses are useless. If you have a small bankroll, you must Wong.
