Also wondering how the odds of this double would be expressed as a house edge?

Slightly depends on the dealer's upcard but the EV for doubling hard 20 is between -1.71 and -1.7 (unit bets)
As for the effect on the house edge, just some rough estimates: we get hard 20 without dealer blackjack about 9% of hands, staying will have about +0.65 EV on average while doubling is -1.705
(-1.705-0.65)*0.09*100% = -21.2%
adds 21% to the house edge... I am now curious what made you wonder about that?

Started off as a stupid joke. I'm a casino dealer and I'll suggest it as a joke to the player, explaining that if they double and get the ace, they will be legendary and have STORIES to tell.
Well, I'm now thinking about it as a little side bet called Crazy Ace ©.
Based on the the odds you have provided, for which I'm thankful, if it wins, the casino can offer a payout of 10 to 1? Don't know. What do you think?

Terribly sorry about this. I'm ok and getting the occasional idea, maths is a mystery to me.
How would these odds be represented as a 1 in ? chance of winning?

I propose naming this side bet 'Stupid Motherf$$ker'.
It costs a dollar per round and pays off when you double and win on a natural 20 or a natural 6.

You could have a sidebet that pays more than 100%, but can only be a certain ratio of your main bet and forces you to break from BS.
Does anything like that exist? As in, it's been through field trials?

Don't forget Spanish 21, you can't TIE with that 21 in this game. Tying with 21 is such a bummer.

Player 21's in Spanish 21 are automatic winners. You're thinking of Double Exposure.
DUHHIIIIIIIII HEARD THAT!

I think you just misread what I wrote, either that or I didn't write it very well. Maybe both, but we're on the same page. Btw, I respect your posts.Rule
