Picture of an actual Bad Beat (Original Version) 'Aces Up' brand of Bad Beat Bac table.  There is also a version from EZ from EZ Shuffle I believe it is, which has 3 less side wagers than the one I posted here.

You can also go to Aces Up website and get some clear pictures and good details on this bac game, which is currently in many casinos and will dominant shortly.  Again, no commission Bac. 

Casinos run different rules.  Most I came across will allow its players to wager only on the side bets, as long as they are wagering a collective total of the table minimum for the hand.  Some casinos will only allow the side wagers if you are wagering at least the table minimum for a Banker or a Player Bet.  Other casinos will allow anyone to wager only on the side wager as long as at least one player present is wagering at least the table minimum on a Banker or a Player hand.

TIES:  7/7 and the 6/6 ties pays 40 to 1.  $25.00 on tie in those will pay $1,000.00.
          7/7 and the 6/6 tie coverage pays 20 to 1.  $25.00 on tie in that will pay $500.00.
          Regular Tie pays the same as always 8 to 1 or 9 for 1.

3 Card 9/8 any side.  Pays 200 to 1.  $25.00 on that will pay $5,000.00, $5.00 on that will pay $1,000.00
Any Natural 9/8 no matter what side either appears on pays 50 to 1.
Any 8/7 pays 25 to 1.
Panda 8 pays 25 to 1.
F-7 pays 40 to 1.

BAD BEAT:  Any 3 card 9 over a 3 card 8 pays 40 to 1.
                 Natural 9 over a Natural 9 pays 10 to 1.
                 Any 8 over a 7 pays 6 to 1.
                 Any 7 over a 6 pays 4 to 1.
                 Any other Bad Beat anyway pays 1 to 1.

IMO, the best side wagers are the F-7, the 200 to 1 Any 3 Card 9/8 and the 6/6-7/7 tie wagers.  Also, if they are hitting, the Bad Beat is a great wager for certain sections of the shoe, especially when the shoe is equaling out, such as it is hand 20 to 50 and it is continually equaling out.  17-18, then 18-18, then 18-19, then 19-19, then 19-20, etc.  When it does that, much higher than 50% of the time it seems as though there are countless Bad Beats with wins by 1s or if not by 1, something falling within the Bad Beat pay off guidelines.

Cool. Thanks for the illustrations Glen. We still don't have these in South East Asian casinos as yet.

They should be in Macau.

I do believe they up the ante huge for experienced players that are controlled by their money management methods and use their initial winnings for the side bets that are huge wins.  Here are some pictures of just a few of my side wins, some were posted in the past. 

I have done extremely well, when I controlled myself, devoted 2/3rds of the wins to my locked up non-gambling funds and used 1/3rd into my buy-in at the table. 

A few pictures of actual wins: 

$25.00 on the Panda 8 plus a wager paid on the Players side of course!
That was a huge side bet money pay off if played right!  You could have won not only on the Panda 8, BUT ALSO on the Any 8/7 as well as the Bad Beat win by 1 point!

Beautiful!!!  Do it!  Money Super Shot!  Players drew a thrid card of 4 for a total of 9.  Banker proceeds to flop an 8 for a 3 card 8/9 200 to 1 pay out.  $4,000.00 being cut out down the table first for their $20.00 wager on it.  $4,000.00 coming my way for the $20.00 I had on it.

$4,000.00 in my spot for my $20.00 wager.  3 Card 8/9 averages I would say at least once every shoe or every 2 shoes combined with many times 2 or 3 of them.  Out of ten shoes played in 2 sessions, I would have to put the mean realistic average at 6 or 7 times out of 10 sessions.

$70.00 or $75.00 on the F-7 from a previous win I had divided up for the sole purpose of several side wagers being played out on the casinos dime, not out of my buy-in.  Banker flopped a 6 for its 3rd card on top of the Bankers 2 card total of 1.  F-7 win. 
[attachimg=4]

$100.00 on the F-7 and I had a nickel up for the dealer as well.  Dealers if full rotational and full time dealers with more than 2 years employment at this particular property keep their own tips.  So $205.00 for the dealer!  There was much to do with flopping that 4 and we did not want a 5.  When we saw it was a 2 side card, it got real loud, believe me on that one!

3 Card 8/9.  We were all playing together and making decisions collectively I remember.  We were all on the Players side with Panda 8 wagers, that is why that 5 card for the Players third card was bent up.  The dealer flopped the 9 for the Banker side.  We all had 3 Card 8/9 wagers out for $15 or $20.  Better we lost the Players side and the Panda wagers.  Bad Beat also won in this case. $4,000.00 again being paid out down the table and $3,000.00 coming to me.  The player threw the dealer $50.00 tip, the 2 green chips up by his right arm.  Waiting for the floor person to okay it, because  $20.00 is the max wager allowed on the 3 card 8/9.

Another F-7 with $50.00 on it.

For example, that one hand produced 3 winning side wagers as well.  I circled them on the layout so you can see.
