Lucky Ladies w/ different payout

Username

Member
I just read the helpful analysis of the lucky ladies side bet. The payout structure used for the sim was the following:

Q hearts pair w/ dealer BJ - 1000:1
Q hearts pair - 125:1
Matched 20 - 19:1
Suited 20 - 9:1
Any 20 - 4:1

An advantage was found at TC +7 but a better SCORE/EV at TC +9

I found a game where the payout structure is the following is slightly higher than in the sim:

Q hearts pair w/ dealer BJ - 1000:1
Q hearts pair - 200:1
Matched 20 - 25:1
Suited 20 - 10:1
Any 20 - 4:1

Has anyone run a sim using these payouts at all?
Do these slightly higher payouts transfer into a meaningful drop in the TC needed for this bet to be advantageous?

For info, I am using Hi-Lo.

This is the preferred game and you can enter the bet at 1 less. zg

Professor Jacobson's special modified 10-count for FULL-PAY LLs >>
Eliot Jacobson said:
I suggest using this counting system for FPLL on Double Deck --

A-9 = +1
T-K = -2
First Q of H = -10
Second Q of H = -2

Make the wager with a TC of 11 or higher.

---------------------------------
For 6D, use this BALANCED count:

A-9 = +1
T-K = -2
QH = -6
---------------------------------

Cheers!

Are you sure you find a better payout? I suspect this is for 2-deck: only 2 queens of heart, right? There is a different strategy used for this..

Yes, sorry, this is for 2 deck. So does that mean that, according to zengrifter's analysis, it requires a TC of +10 for a DD game...even with the higher payout?

Yes, but you must keep track of the QHs. (ZEN +10 = Hilo +6) zg

The more decks in play, the lower the count needed to break even EV for this bet.

TCs of 6 and 7 apply to 8 deck games for breaking even
