At one locals casino, I ran into a double deck game that featured a Bust bet. If the dealer's third card busts the hand, you can win even money if you place your bet before the dealer starts hitting hands. The maximum bet is $50.
Unless I misunderstood what the dealer said about this bet, there should be an advantage when the count is high, though you'd have to adjust for Aces not being + cards.
What am I missing about this proposition? And if it is playable, what should the adjusted count be?
gratiauns,
If the dealer is showing a 5 or 6, the bet becomes +EV at a HiLo TC of +10 for a 6D H17 game. I realize you said DD, but that won't help much if at all: you'll still need a huge TC for the dealer's chance of busting to exceed 50%.
Hope this helps!

Thanks. I pursued the link you provided and then followed that page to Wizard of Vegas. I doubt I'll find the conditions to take advantage of this proposition, but it looked less idiotic than must side bets I encounter.
