Default Any math/gambling wiz to test my 3 card poker strategy to make you a favorite??

So I've worked in a casino in the past as a poker dealer & carnival games dealer and have lived 10 minutes from Atlantic City since I was 5 and came up with a strategy that I believe makes you a favorite against the house in 3 card poker but have no idea how to determine the percentages. This might be confusing but if you know the game it shouldn't be.

So all bonus bets have horrible odds and of course you shouldn't be betting that ever. But in 3 card poker, as for overall odds w/o payouts being factored in, the odds are 50:50 that you or the dealer win. Either your 3 cards are higher or the dealers are. My strategy is to play the ante and the play bets every hand no matter what you have which gives you 50:50 odds. On top of that if you hit a hand of a straight or higher you receive bonus ante payouts which increases the odds in your favor. Also when the dealer doesn't qualify you can not lose even with a worse hand which also increases the odds in your favor (quite a bit I'd think.) the only downside is when you have a winning hand and the dealer doesn't qualify you only get paid on the ante bet not play but that also happens if you have a worse hand when the dealer doesn't qualify you actually win 1 bet.
That should explain everything important and I can't imagine the house still having an edge as long as you play every single hand. The payout odds might get skewed against you with the non qualifying hands but it also helps by paying you when you really lost occasionally.
So without the payout per bets odds being taken into consideration playing with this strategy clearly you will win more hands then you lose. I still think even when you don't get paid on both bets when you win against a non qualified hand it really doesn't hurt your odds too much if at all overall because the same rules helps give you an edge. I'd REALLY APPRECIATE any insight or crazy calculus solutions to help prove (or disprove) my theory. Even if you just know the game well and have no idea how to figure this out I'd still love to hear what you think. Thanks for readig & hopefully leaving some input!
