i don't really understand the sidebet game. Essentially aren't you just betting on the color of the flop, red or black? How does the house have a 6% advantage? if that's the case why would you want to play it?

Before you get your cards, you are betting the flop will be all the color you pick (red or black).
They pay you 8 for 1.
Flop is all red 11.75% of the time.

For every one hundred $1 wagers, you will win 11.75 times and collect back
11.75*$8 = $94

Hence, a house vig of 6%.

Keep doubling your bet everytime you lose until you win. It's a sure thing! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Turn off the four color deck option, makes it easier.

If you add collusion with your friends, this combination is deadly!

No its not, you have to bet before you get your hole cards, or else the bet will go on the next hand..
