Two sidebets for the price of one

Had a funny experience tonight. I was playing in a casino that offers both the Super Sevens and the Match the Dealer sidebet on different tables. If other people at the table are playing them I will occasionally and at random bet a dollar on the sidebet to fit in better with the crowd.

So the sidebet at this table was the Match the Dealer, I had a dollar out, got a 7 on the first card and the non-English speaking dealer paid me as if it was a Super Sevens bet. Cool, I thought. I can keep on playing, getting paid on the 7's until I match the dealer at which time I would remind the dealer that he owes me payment on my sidebet, and up to that point I would be getting effectively close to the sum of the payoffs on both sidebets. I didn't make a significant amount of money on it but it was kind of fun playing a sidebet with around 80% advantage.
