Title: Someone help my dumb mind here Post by: Mrphil on October 09, 2022, 03:37:34 AM I must be missing something.
In ignition blackjack, the payout for a pair being dealt is 11:1 as a side bet. Our chances of being dealt a pair are 1 in 7 hands correct? That would make the side bet a thing to do EVERY time, but it doesn't make sense because side bets never add expected value, they remove it. What am I missing?

Our odds aren't like poker where it stays 1 in 7 to hit a pair since there are more than 1 deck being played. Our odds get worse with each deck they add to shoe.
