Black Jack Appendix 11
Caesars Palace offers a side
bet on a tie at some of their blackjack tables. If the player and dealer do tie
the side bet pays 10 to 1. The player may bet no more than 50% of their original
blackjack wager on the side bet. If the player splits he must also split the
side bet. The following table shows the proper basic strategy assuming the
maximum side bet is played.
The combined house edge of the blackjack wager and the side bet is 0.07% of
the blackjack wager. For example if the player bets $100 on the blackjack wager
and $50 on the side bet the total expected loss is 7 cents. This is based on
Caesars Palace blackjack rules of 8 decks and dealer stands on a soft 17.
