heatmapEdit - and i will also say that most of the time, i lost, so i dont think about it as a mindless side bet, i see it as im not playing blackjack, but 3 card poker, and when it came to blackjack i lost a lot of the hands, but the attempt at the side bet was actually profitable and more successful than attempting to win at blackjack. its funny because when a good hand does come, im not even worried about it - blackjack ... crap no flush or straight..., and on the flip side, when a bad hand does come, it didnt matter again as the 3 card hands came out more often then ... who cares i was betting 15 and had 10 on the main bet and 5 on the side so when it came to doubling or splitting it was nothing

What's the 3-card pay table?
If you're asking in general, I've only seen 9-9-9-9 for sfl/3oak/str/flu.
Straight flush 180-1.
3 of a kind unsuited 90-1.
At what point in a plus minus system does the game turn beatable?
I'm seeing it at plus or minus 6 seems to be the point to bet the side bet.
Last night i decided to try my luck at the 21+3 side bet blackjack. Over a period of about 8 hours i - went down 300, and then proceeded to win 600 by betting the table minimum and putting $5 on the side bet every turn no matter what. I was successful this time to say the least. lots of flushs, had three 9s twice, and a striaght flush at one point as well. overall the side bets are not worth it when the table minimum is 25 and above, but when i catch a 15 and below table i love betting them. they come out more than the wins sometimes which is sad.

3 of a kind suited paying 270-1.
Straight Flush paying 180-1.
3 of a kind unsuited 90-1.
Using these pay tables with a count of plus or minus 6 and higher is the casino advantage lower?

Thank you for the courtesy of a reply. None of the reference articles uses the correct pay table of:
3 of a kind suited paying 270-1.
Straight Flush paying 180-1.
3 of a kind unsuited 90-1.
Using these pay tables with a count of plus or minus 6 and higher is the casino advantage lower?
What count are you using and why would a high count improve your chances with these side bets.
I mean, we all know how a shoe rich in tens can make an insurance bet advantageous, but surely something as simple as richness of tens does not easily correlate to an increased likelihood of a flush or three of a kind. Using a normal high low count is a pretty blunt tool, probably the wrong tool, to attack 21+3 side bet.
