blackjack side bets?

[housenuts]

my local casino has Lucky Ladies. i laugh at people who play it. however, i was there the other day for the first time in over a year and almost everyone at the table was playing it except me and some old dude on the end. he ended up with suited queens of hearts, and dealer got blackjack, for which he would have won 1000-1 had he bet. oh well, too bad.
some of those side bet games have a 50% house edge. horrible
