How it works

Two cards are dealt without replacement. After the first card there are 4d−1 cards of the same rank among 52d−1 remaining. Dragon and Tiger share the other probability equally.

With 8 decks, a tie occurs 31/415 of the time. Losing half on a tie gives the side bet a 3.735% house edge.

Fresh shoe, ace low, suits do not break the main tie. The side pays 1:1. Suited-tie probability is shown separately, without assuming a payout.

P(tie) = (4d − 1) / (52d − 1); EV(side) = −stake × P(tie) × tie loss
