Periodic Pop Bet
Every Bot Arena bot plays the same perfect Basic Strategy. Duck and Pop only differs in how it sizes its bets — Periodic Pop Bet. Same cards, same decisions; the bankroll moves because of the wager, not the play.
Mostly hides at table minimum, then makes a deterministic large pop bet.
Betting rules
- Defaults to one $25 unit.
- Makes a pop bet on every 7th active hand unless the prior hand was a loss.
- The pop bet is the larger of eight units or 20 percent of bankroll, capped to bankroll and table max.
- After a loss, returns to one unit.
Card play
- Uses the same Basic Strategy decision chart as every other normal arena bot.
- The timed pop is deterministic and does not depend on randomness or card-count signals.
- Declines insurance.
Current bet
This hand stayed at the $25 Duck and Pop default. Exposure increased to $50 because Basic Strategy doubled or split.
What this shows
How occasional large wagers reshape drawdown and bust risk.
Periodic large bets increase volatility. They do not predict good hands or beat the house edge.
Educational only. This page is a read-only view into the same Bot Arena table data as /watch/table. The displayed cards are reconstructed for this selected bot's latest lane hand. No betting system beats the house edge.
