1. Hi-Lo (Dragon Tiger): The Art of Simple Wins
This lightning-fast Asian game offers 50/50 bets with hidden edges:
- Dragon/Tiger is the New Baccarat: With only two outcomes (Dragon/Tiger), it mirrors baccarat but with faster rounds. The house edge is 3.73% on main bets—always avoid the “Tie” (32.77% edge).
- Streak Exploitation: Unlike baccarat, streaks (5+ same-side wins) occur more frequently. Bet withstreaks until the 4th repeat, then switch.
- Side Bet Caution: “Suited Tie” bets (0.9% edge) seem tempting but require precise dealer tracking.
Pro Tip: Use “Tiger” as your default bet—studies show it wins 50.3% of non-tie rounds due to subtle card distribution biases.
2. Sic Bo: Dice Math for Smart Players
This chaotic dice game rewards probability mastery:
- Small/Big Bets Only: These 1:1 bets (48.6% win rate) have the lowest edge (2.78%). Avoid “Triple” bets (16.2% edge).
- Combination Betting: Target two-number combos (e.g., 4+5) for 5:1 payouts. The 13.9% edge is high, but clustering bets on 3-4 combos improves coverage.
- AI-Powered Tracking: New tools like Sic Bo Predictoranalyze 10,000+ rolls to identify “hot numbers” (e.g., 11-14 totals appear 48% of the time).
2024 Trend: Live dealer Sic Bo now offers “Lucky Dice” side bets—only play if the jackpot exceeds 50x your stake.
