Re: Prop bets and their EV
A couple I like...
1) I bet you a stack of [insert the dominate of the table] that I can stack without counting the chips out, to 20 chips just by feel. I never lose this one, and it is amazing how many people will take the bet.
2) Calling hands at showdown. You know the guy next to you will say something like "I bet he has a straight" and I take the bet and call the hand. I win more than I lose, and it is an excellent way to improve hand reading skills. Just becareful not to interfear with the hand in play.
3) In the room I play in there is pretty much an equal number of male and female dealers. So I will bet on rather the next dealer is a male or female. But frankly this is a stupid bet, as the push is clearly in sight of the tables I play on and it is easy to cheat.
