Default ZERO profitability - This bet can never make money

The bet I'm referring to is the bet on the river by UTG

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

UTG+1 (t1470)
Hero (t185)
MP2 (t3160)
MP3 (t1275)
CO (t1615)
Button (t1220)
SB (t1520)
BB (t1685)
UTG (t1370)

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
UTG calls t30, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t185</font>, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, Button calls t185, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, UTG calls t155.

Flop: (t600) Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
UTG checks, Button checks.

Turn: (t600) 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
UTG checks, Button checks.

River: (t600) 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">UTG bets t210</font>, Button folds.

Final Pot: t810
<font color="#009B00">Main Pot: t600 (t600), won by UTG.</font>
<font color="#009B00">Pot 2: t210 (t210), between Hero and UTG.</font> &gt; <font color="#FFFFFF">Pot won by Hero (t210).</font>

Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF">
UTG has 2h 3h (one pair, fives).
Hero has Kh Ks (two pair, kings and fives).
Outcome: UTG wins t600. Hero wins t210. </font>

Actually it can if the hand converter is bugged and accidentally awards the side pot to you and the main pot to UTG.

It can also be profitable for game-theory reasons. Ideal strategy you have to dry-sidepot bet every once in a while so that third player can't always make good folds.
