Doble Duck
Introduction
I noticed the Doble Duck side bet in baccarat at the Casino Life casino in Mexico City on Jan 9, 2024. It wins if either the Player or Banker have a three card hand consisting of three sixes. Following is the pay table:
- Both Player and Banker have 6-6-6 — Pays 100 to 1
- Either Player or Banker have 6-6-6 — Pays 8 to 1

The lower right cell shows a house edge of 99.39%. I'm quite sure that makes this the highest house edge on a side bet I have ever seen.
