Side bets, priced
Pair bets and other extras sit beside the main betting spots. They pay more and they cost more. Here are the ones the casinos list, and the arithmetic of the most common.

Player Pair and Banker Pair
These pay when the first two cards of that hand share a rank. In an eight-deck shoe that happens 7.47% of the time. At the usual 11:1 the casino keeps 10.36% of every pound staked — roughly ten times the Banker bet's 1.06%.
