Iā€™m not someone whoā€™s well-versed in this subject. The only reference I know is some website that told me there shouldā€™ve been a ā€œperfect pairā€ instead of SToaK.

However, even without knowledge of tradition, I can still use common sense (surprise), and ask myself: ā€œIf Player Pairā€™s SToaKā€™s win condition is the same as 21+3ā€™s SToaKā€™s win condition, and Player Pairā€™s SToaK gives 25:1 whereas 21+3ā€™s SToaK gives 100:1, then why would I ever choose the former?ā€

ā€¦so basically itā€™s a variant of 21+3, in which case Iā€™ll ask the same as the topic above: Why would anyone choose the (side) bet that gives less benefits?

Suppose I make a SToaK side bet.
I have three options: Top 3, 21+3, and Player Pair.
If I choose Top 3, then the payout is 270:1.
If I choose 21+3, then the payout is 100:1.
If I choose Player Pair, then the payout is 25:1.

Now tell me: What is the reason I should ever choose an option that gives me less payout when the risks are the same?

Like, are we limited to one side bet per category or something?

You can make as many sidebets as you want
And ultimately the question of ā€œshould I (ever) make this side betā€ is up to you

top 3 is higher risk, higher reward and 21+3 is lower risk, lower reward

Whose turn is it even?

is splitting an option?

No
It would have to be 2 10s or 2 Queens

actually
no ill allow splitting same value cards
you can split a queen and a 10
