Can you beat this game?

If I'm reading your rules correctly, then all you have to do to beat the game is place your original bet.

There are 3 face cards in 27 different combinations. 8 times in 27, you'll get zero kings and win. The other 19 times you'll lose.

(3)(8/27) - (1)(19/27) = +5/27

Sorry, bad terminology.

I meant that if you bet $5 the first time, the dealer will pay you $15 total (including the $5 you put on the table). So it is actually 2:1 on the first bet. Same idea for the second bet.
