Default Re: anyone win a sidebet yet?

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%.

Ah, ty. To answer the OP's question, no I haven't played or won a sidebet game.
