Winning a side bet is like hitting the jackpot. It is a very rare event which happens when you least expect it and when it happens, the prize is never big enough because you wagered small money. Doing side bets will also distract you from the main event where you wager serious money and the more distracted you get, the more money you will lose. If you can’t make money from your big bets, that’s the problem you should fix first. You shouldn’t even think about making side bets at this point. If you are able to make successful bets maybe only then you should do these mini bets. Doing main and side bets at the same time is like having 2 jobs and people that have 2 jobs never last very long.
I totally agree with the statement you just said highlighted above, because inasmuch as we always say that gambling is a game of luck, let's not forget that having knowledge about the basic rules of a game is one thing that should never be over-emphazied when it comes to gambling or anything that has to do with staking an item worth valuable. Because just as side-betting may not be seen as worth it by a different set of individuals, so will the lucky ones be proud of saying it's a worthy game, simply because they have been able to master the A-Z of how it works, so on a nutshell, whichever one you intend to gamble on, always try to be specific about the aim at which you want to gamble (i.e weather is it for fun/entertainment or for money). 
Topic: Betting on side bet worth it? - page 2. (Read 405 times)
I’m pertaining to the side bet offered on the table games such as baccarat and blackjack that gives you a chance to win a certain multiplier by just meeting the certain requirements. I often avoid this kind of bet because it’s very rare to win on this and I’m only burning money that was supposed to be added to my profit whenever my main bet won while my sides always loss.
If side bet does not favour you, why not focus on what works. To remain in businesses, you must identify your area of strength and concentrate on that. The challenge with spreading your money across multiple bet options is that the winning from some will be depleted by losses from the others. This is not a sustainable gambling approach.
But recently I become lucky on side bet since I win x100 multiple time and x50 with 1$ profit. I realize that sometimes this side bet is the one that can give us the bigger profit once we get lucky compared when betting in fix amount while the result is just breakeven.
Well, from the outcome you could give it a short but with the least amount you can possibly risk since the winning is rare. The winning is actually enticing though and worth just the risk. 
Nobody is going to offer you a better bet than what the players at the main table are getting, you have to realize that.
If there's a large multiplier, the chance to win is et least evenly decreased to match the main game, or it's much lower because they (the casino) hope that the multiplyer will attract some players who won't think about their odds, but will simply press the button that screams $100 for every wagered $1.
Not worth it!

When I firstly began playing Blackjack, I was fortunate or let's say thought I was to win several times on side bets, including straight and flush bets in BJ . But, the only problem was that I was wagering more on side bets than my original bet. As time went on I realized that for every lost side bet, I was losing three times the amount of a regular bet. In the end, it all depends down to luck and the importance of not betting higher amount in side bets.
Occasionally, there are some chances with sports betting, although the odds are even riskier and winning chances are slimmer.

Bigger the risk, higher the rewards; you decide. Well it would be fun and all especially if you are winning hut the opposite if not. Word itself means multiply your winnings but could also multiply your losses. But this strategy is working to some wherein they are losing to the main game and quite winning on their side bets which lessens the losses IF they are getting the side bets. But worst is losing in both so if your tolerance could manage handling sidebets as well, then that would be fine. It’ll depend on the gambler’s risk tolerance. On my end, I am limiting myself to the main game just for the sake of not making the risk bigger by joining side bets. But that’s just my preference as a gambler.
so long you have extra extra funds to accommodate these side bets, that's fine with me. as you don't know when will luck hit you, then, if you are comfortable betting with the side bets, then, it is all up to you. but should not expect that you will always hit from these bets. it is just like any other bets that you have.

Usually, the probability of those side bets actually hitting is very low because the conditions that must be met don't come very often and that is the reason why they offer high multipliers on them, so if you are using $1 on the side bet and the outcome is x50 if you hit it, but it takes more than that for it to actually hit at least once then I don't think it's profitable at all. Besides, casinos don't offer things that will actually give the players an advantage, they offer everything that will lure you into placing and losing more money.
It basically all boils down to the luck of the gambler since gambling is a luck-based thing. If you are lucky, you might even win the side bet within the first few constant bets that you make, but if you are not lucky at that particular time, you might end up spending a lot of money on it and still don't get anything.

The table game mainly the blackjack will be the wish of the poker players in the gambling sites.The blackjack will need of the knowledge as compared to the other games in the gambling sites,So it’s essential for the gambler to learn the game in the gambling sites as compared to the offline gambling.The poker had huge difference in online and offline mode.The offline help us to play in the short period of time,but the online gambling need of the practice for the many times.So the gambler can play the blackjack without any random through of the cards without analysing the exact game of the gambling.
Like most bets: if the expected value is negative, it's not worth it.
Isn't that applicable to every slot machine and table game out there? As the edge is always slightly for the house, it's always probable that value is going to be negative. Unless you are lucky and that's the whole point for chasing bigger multipliers. Changes are slightly against the gambler and more if you are chasing the jackpot, but those changes very much exist and they are not like a lottery bad. 
Well, it's always a chance so if you want or feel that luckiness that you have, then you can. It's not going to be worth it of course if you lose but you should accept that and that's part of the game. You just need to be lucky and you cannot control that.

That is plain luck as you say and you can use it better when you know it is there for you to use it
you can give a try to slot machines to get a much bigger multiplier than just x100.However everyone has different opinions as to which bet works best for him and you should find the one that gives more wins for a certain number of rolls,for example for 100 rolls you find that this type of bet gives you 18-20 wins which is the best and you should stick with it.Of course you can continue to try new things and different side bets to find and even better pattern.
For me though it works better with sport betting with tennis,baseball,ice hockey or american football,I usually play over bets in there and they are mostly wins so I stick to them.

Just like the 21 + 3 and royal match blackjack side bet and some other of them. Do not forget that if you go for side bet, there is still house edge and the more you gamble in a casino, the more likely that the casino would win much more from you. All I know is to try your luck but never be stupid when you supposed to leave and stop gambling for that day. Side bet is also very risky.Perfect Pairs and 21+3 are my favorites in Blackjack while Player and Banker Bonus on Baccarat. I usually toss a minimum bet of 1$ in there in every bet that I made. I just become interested on this since I so some players that bet on side bet more than their main bet. Like 5$ on main bet while 10$ on both side bet. They win huge amount once they hit a good side bet and immediately leave.
This makes me curious if this kind of side bet is worthy pursuing rather than playing on the main bet alone. But I never try that one because it’s too high risk.
I've only tried the insurance bets on Blackjack and luckily I chose right most of the time but I have never tried the other types of side bets as I think they are too risky and on my journey to playing it those side bet requirements do not commonly come out.
Sure, the payout is better but counting how many bets will it take before you are to hit the supposed cards may be higher than what you will win.
It's just like cutting the number of lines in slots, in my case in Tome of Life I would pick only 3 liners and before I could hit a win, a big one, it would take 100-200 rounds with mostly losses before it comes out.
Too risky, and this is not for gamblers who want the "win now" bets because it might take time before those side bets will hit which means spending a lot for a higher multi-win. It needs deep pockets.

Well I think op should not conclude that side bet has more potential for winning both for in house game or soccer bets, I believe they are all coincidence or circumstantial. Side betting is also luck so if I win betting from that I just know it happened that way probably because it was my luck that shifted to that and not that the standard game is any less, in fact side bet in blackjack from my research has more failure rate than standard game.

As a general guideline, side bets in blackjack have high house edges and should be avoided. But if you insist on trying your luck, at least stick to the side bets that have the lowest house edge.

Why not? for Baccarat, I usually bet on a draw and pairs for both banker and player. But still based on luck though, but for me or at least the last two sessions that I go gamble on a traditional base casino, it was like a savior for me as I was only a standing bettor, but it just so happen that when I bet I got the pairs, which is x11.
And then I go on the next table, hit another, and then another. I was very happy that night, as I have recoup my losses and then win some.
But I know that it's not always been the case, but I will try to go and bet on the side if ever I will go and gamble again.
I thought from the title that you were referring to bets on a thread between two people different from the main theme of the thread. Like I better with someone, mostly a rival fan, on which team will finish above the other at the end of the league season. That side bet is definitely worth it as long as you do not allow club interest affect your judgement.
For any other bet, it depends on the odds of winning or losing. Some games are included by the house just to make them extra profit.

If we are to bet, then it must base in the game we understand how to play very well, gambling has its own risk of winning or loosing but when we shows that we are eager to play some particular games even without understanding the way it being played, then we have just increased the more on it possible risk and we may not enjoy having the best experience in it, because we will be focused on winning while this may not be coming.
