Introduction
Odd One In is an engaging card game created by 1x2 Gaming. Players receive two cards, and the total points are calculated similarly to blackjack, with aces valued at one point. There are various betting options available, but all require the sum of points to be odd.
Rules
- A single 52-card deck is used.
- In this game, aces are worth one point, cards numbered 2 through 10 retain their face value, and all face cards are valued at ten points.
- The game commences with the player placing bets according to the options listed below.
- After the player has placed their bets, the dealer will distribute two cards.
- If the total points are odd, the dealer will payout on winning bets. Conversely, if the total is even, all bets will lose.

Strategy
The most favorable house edge stands at 2.26% for (1) a small odd total and (2) totals of 17 and 19. Therefore, my recommendation is to focus on those bets if you choose to participate.
