When it comes to side bets, you hear about the big jackpots, but not the multitude of losses that make these bets so profitable for the house. They might be fun to play and there\u2019s the allure of the big score, but blackjack side bets are often among the worst bets in the casino. Basic strategy: Don\u2019t play them.\u00a0<em>LVA<\/em>\u00a0gets a name-check in this article.

Don Johnson, the MIT team, and Rob Reitzen, they\u2019ve all done it plenty of times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what about short-cutting gamblers who board the express train to fortune? Through some crazy side bets and card-running jiu-jitsu, they manage to take down six figure returns over the course of just a single hand. Yes, it often involves making some longshot bet that would cause the James Grosjean of the advantage play (AP) world to roll their eyes at and mutter, \u201cCivilian\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But lucky winners don\u2019t sweat such derision. They simply head to the cage and negotiate mega cash-outs.
