Royal Match Bet Blackjack
The Royal Match SB is a very difficult proposition to bet advantageously. It has no correlation to a typical count system. For further info you should refer to Snyder's Big Book of BJ. I strongly advise NOT to bet it! The only version of RM that has any viability is the 1D 3/10 payoff version like Cortez features. A Royal Side Bet The Royal Match 21™ side bet for blackjack focuses on the first two cards a player receives and its top hand has a maximum payout of more than 50 to 1. The bet is based on the premise that the first two cards dealt to the player will be suited – and again, like other side bets, there are different odds available. An Easy Match (5:2 for single-deck and 3:1 in multi-deck Blackjack) is two suited cards, while a Royal Match (25:1 for single-deck and 10:1 for multi-deck Blackjack) is as the name.

Royal Match @ Barona i-Table
One of the nice features of the Shuffle Master i-Table is that they can change the odds of the bonus side-bets at any time. Yesterday, they increased the payout on the Royal from 50:1 to 75:1. The change showed up on the display, so I calculated the improvement.
For an n-deck shoe, the probability of hitting a Royal (KQs) is (4)(n^2)/C(52*n,2) and the probability of getting dealt suited cards is 4*C(n*13,2)/C(n*52,2).

The change from the 50:1 to the 75:1 payout on the Royal improved the return from -10.2% to -4.1%. So, it went from a sucker bet to a fun $1 bet you can place every hand.

I have been able to find little about systems for royal match side bet advantage play. but as far as I can tell this would be one of the better odds....6 decks (apparently for matching suits more decks is better?), Royal suit match pays 50:1, and any other match will pay 2:1. I'm going to investigate tonight about any other payouts and if royal match includes aces or tens.
The only article I could find about advantage play for this bet was here

its called the davies system, he explains everything but the system!!! does anyone have access to this system, or any other strategys such as simply making this bet a certain count (I use KO), or would counting suits have to come into play?
Thank you for your input! this is my first forum post, i'm at around 100 hours counting, quite excited.
