perfect pairs side bet in blackjack, worth it or sucker bet?
so i keep seeing people tossing chips on the perfect pairs side bet at my local spot, but i’ve never given it a shot myself. i know side bets are usually pitched with big payoffs, but i’ve always figured the variance makes them bankroll killers in the long run. i did a little digging and the house edge on some of these perfect pairs bets seems pretty rough, but then you see someone pull trip 7s and it looks fun as hell.
does anyone here actually play perfect pairs regularly? are you tracking wins or is it just a casual thing to spice up your session? wondering if i’m missing out or just avoiding another slow leak on the bankroll. any tips or strategies?
