Breaking down the Tie Bet: Elevated Risk and Rare Frequency
The Tie bet is the point at which the stats get dramatic. It might pay 8:1 or even 11:1, which understandably draws players looking for a big score. From a statistical standpoint, though, a Tie is a infrequent event. It usually happens only about 7% to 9% of the time, based on how many decks the game uses. That low frequency means a high house edge, often well above 10%. That’s a far bigger advantage for the casino than on the main Dragon or Tiger bets.
