Topic: Betting on side bet worth it? (Read 395 times)

Sometimes betting with a lot of decision I’m planning is not bad anyway I usually know this very well that’s sometimes what you don’t expect like the side bet maybe what will be preferable to you, but you may not understand how it works but at last you finally noticed that you have one and you don’t expect it That is how it is because sometimes what we expect on gambling may not be a good resort but what you don’t expect maybe the one that will be good and sometimes you may not really use a huge amount on betting this it may be low as one to two Doller and you finally get Profit that is true

Well, your conclusion is good but also shows what you were feeling at that time, and not the right sense of what the two games are all about which makes it complicated. The games that you would hardly be winning from are not worth it in my opinion. There is no way you can have a balanced book when it comes to the proper management of the gambling account this way which I always consider a priority unlike most gamblers.

One can be happy when luck comes, and the luck can easily come to some people, but to some, the luck may never come in a year or two, if not more, so it is not worth it to me since it has a lower chance of success. Imagine playing such games for a year without a single winning, even if you are risking just $1 to wager it, do you know the amount of money you would have wasted on something that may not even happen in your favour in more than a year?

It's better we are reasonable about gambling, we need to often weigh our risks and the possibility of winnings to ascertain the right decisions that will not be a regret for us.

I try to avoid any bets that have a low chance of winning, maybe x100 looks attractive, but if that means I have to lose too many times, then it's not for me. I would rather collect a multibet, which in my opinion has a higher chance of winning and take a risk with this bet. I'm used to betting on the sport that I understand, everything else is not very interesting to me. But everyone must decide for themselves what is best for them.

For no reason yesterday I just watched people gambling on kick.com the usual and found out that most of the streamers are actually doing side gambling. Personally, I have never tried side bet on gambling  .

So if the side bet can make more suspension and pumping hard my blood pressure I am in 

in the long run casinos are most likely ahead when you are placing bets on side bets because house edge is usually higher on side bets. but if you are looking for thrill and fun way with your gaming experience, you can try side bets, but be mindful that it comes with high level of risks. but if you are comfortable with taking risk and looking for something fun, you can bet on side bets to potentially win big

Side bets can either give you extra profit or could burn you some extra cash, or it could break things even if you win and lose on either of the side bet and main bet. It's gambling anyway, if you don't have enough risk appetite or has enough capital to do the sides, maybe we can call it it unworthy to take some risk. But, for someone who's really into gambling which aims for higher profits, side bets are one way to do it, but then again it's still part of the gambling and I guess it's worthiness depends on the outcome lol.

Remaining able to control yourself in the game and enjoying it will make it easier for us to place bets and it will be even better if we can win the game because we play without forcing ourselves which makes us bet without being able to enjoy the game and also not being able to anymore. control yourself when playing and we will also lose in the game.

Yes, indeed we have to be able to follow technical developments and not depend on one game to be able to win bets, of course we have to be able to use the strategies we have in every game we play.

Ohh I am guilty of this 

When i was in college outside our school there is a Chess tables in which most of chess players and gamblers are gather around because there is a bet happening there.

I use to Bet in side instead of playing against other player (but indeed I am making money from that as allowance in college)


You should try betting in side mate , sometimes it is more suspensive than you are the one who is betting directly 

Nah I dont think is worth it but Ultimately, whether betting on a side bet is worth it depends on your personal preferences. So if the wins are huge and the chance is very small if you ready to bet just burn money like a couple of dollars or so and keep bet like the name "side" outside your main bet

You can't depend on one game when you're gambling  newly as you won't be sure you can't win in that game always. Gambling should be a fun activity and you can can try many options until you get the game that you like and can be winning when you want to gamble. After placing your main bet. You can bet on side as they are worth it as you can make some games from the side bet while you lose the main bet but if you didn't bet on the side bet you won't be making any profits from that game.

For sport betting, you can bet on your favourite team to win and when the game is active, you see some possibilities to bet on outcomes that can give you more money, you can try them and sometimes it'll work in your favour while other times you might'nt be lucky to win. You can bet on how many goals that will be in the match or who'll win the first half of the game and those bets can give you profits.

Most side bets only have a small chance of winning and cannot be applied to traditional Blackjack strategy, which means they give the dealer and the house a much greater advantage than in the standard game.

So, in my opinion they should only be seen as a way to increase fun, because when you consider the risks you will see that they are not a viable method of increasing your earnings over a long period of time. Any side bets you may want to place should be carefully considered and you should assess your chances of winning to the best of your ability.

But as I just said, it is undeniable that side bets are much more exciting and faster, and they are great for those who play Blackjack and don't like limiting themselves to one bet at a time and having to wait for the end of the round to find out if they have won. .
Furthermore....if successful, side bets substantially increase your winnings from much smaller bets than you would receive in the standard game, but be careful not to deceive yourself and end up losing more than you should.

It is true that many casino games are structured in such a way that they provide the impression of a fair game but, in reality, the odds are stacked significantly against the player. People can easily get caught into these games without fully comprehending the arithmetic behind them, or without realizing that the games are specifically designed to take advantage of human nature. Have you ever heard about the "house edge"? This is the casino's mathematical edge over the player, and it is present in all casino games. The house edge varies based on the game, but it is always present.

We need to be lucky enough to handle such huge tasks in the system. I know most of us are learning but it doesn’t matter. Control the game and you'll enjoy every single bit of profits in the system. We don't have to announce them rather we ought to stick to the daily growth of our pin down game techniques. Who's busy depending on one game in gambling? I know how confidence grow in the space but we should also know how versatile it is for our strategies to start working in the system. Some do take time while some swiftly starts at the moment.

I want to emphasise this phrase. You said it for yourself that this will only be profitable and rewarding if you get lucky at that time, but let's flip the coin. What if you lose that side bet? Then the loss is too much, meaning that with that high stake side bet added to the x100 multiplier, it will increase the amount you could win, but at the same time, it will also increase the amount that you could lose.

For me, a side bet is a risky bet or way to gamble because you can have the urge to go beyond your funds or be tempted to do multiplier, which is what causes other gamblers' misery. Multiplier is a thing that shouldn't be taken lightly, as a gambler can be easily swayed to increase their temptation to earn a lot if they win. Remember,  "if they win," if not, then that could be a very bad situation you are putting yourself in.

Just like the regular main stakes in bets and major gambling activities, luck still has a significant role to play in order for you to actually make wins. Most of the times the odds in these kind of games makes the winning chances based on luck low. It is also very common to notice that bets with very high multiplier usually have a very low likelihood of winning in terms of luck. Therefore it very necessary to avoid making all your hopes on winning be based solely on luck.
Most of the time as a gambler you should be able to analyze the odds and bets properly before proceeding to make a stake because it will help in increasing your chances of winning.

I might not be familiar with this game but what we should understand about gambling is that there is no total dependency where you would be sure of the outcome or to know which particular games to give you winning. From my greatest knowledge gambling hasn't moved from luck to professional where one has to define that this very game must be winning without still following the principle of YES or NO.
When we places bet we might win or lost but the probability of losing the game is very higher than winning game, so whichever ways he thinks that gets him more winning he was just fortunate that very day to have secured winning.

Maybe you are just lucky by hitting high side bet earlier I’ve been playing blackjack a lot and side bet is rare to hit mostly just a different color pair and flush which is very small payout. You will probably lose more than win if you continuously chase side bet rather than focus on your main bet that will give you greater chance of winning. Just bet a 10$ if you want to get 100$ profit instead of betting 1$ continuously without getting anything.

It’s not bad to place side bet if you feel it but focusing on it rather than your main bet will just make you lose a lot because the odds of winning that huge payout is very low.

Many have already said it, this has a lot to do with the Associated luck and if a person is not complete, be prepared to lose a large Amount of money, because they have to prepare for it, so when they are bets of that style, I bet them the they give to have More option to make it more dynamic and that the person does not get bored, that is why when we are in a casino we must know very well how to handle the Game, establish our budget Willing to lose and take the opportunities For us to consider, if there is a parallel bet and you are lucky, you Win it, if you win it, the best thing is to waste your money and not play anymore, it is very difficult to have the Same luck Twice and this is something that is not known. I think Every day how many People don't want to be that Lucky and can't ? There are Still many , and I Know that those who seek that luck do not Achieve it and when they have shots of those in bacart or poker, well, rarely.

Sometimes in the casino we have many Aspects that have to do with decisions, and decisions are what base our entire lives, in that case you decided to take the risk and you came out very well because you Won , but you have to know how to handle it, Well, at that level the things in the game are favorable and you have to give them to be Able to obtain Results , so in this Order of ideas we must determine which is the best Option to have better Rewards. In this case, it is known that a casino has its ficone of house Advantage, and that alone would make us win, if we do not focus on what we can lose we could have less Advantage than a casino if we have in the game what We are willing to lose we can play as we want, it is already a Question ours on how to make the different bets, I Personally try to extend well what I do, what I think in the game, so to be able to have a better experience and be able to enjoy more, I consider the cost.

And that is the keyword there mate, "luck". I also love making side bets on the baccarat. But then again, the odds is pretty much against you and it will take extreme luck to win. Take for example, I made like 3 bets on tie in baccarat. But on the 4th bet, I simply stop because I think that it won't happened. But lo and behold, on the 4th set of the game, I didn't bet and it hit the tie, Damn. I was pretty much pissed off when I see it. So yeah, it's very hard and the probability is low, but if you are very luck and the cards run differently, then maybe in the next 3 games you will have a banker or player pair, or even super 6 or super 7 depending on the table itself. So it's a question whether to stop right away if you hit that high odds or not.

As the first response stated, it's a simple mathematical equation on value. If you've got a 50% chance of making $5 back from a $1 side bet, you would probably jump at the chance. However most of these side bets are uneconomical unless you know the specifics and how to extract the value you want from them. Take blackjack for example, if you get a pair you are able to split them - if somehow (not by card counting, of course) thought the the odds were in your favor, then you might choose to split it and play for the extra money available. However a lot of people get misled by casino games which engineer side games where they completely control  the odds to their benefit, as their system is often a blackbox or prone to manipulation.

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).

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Like most bets: if the expected value is negative, it's not worth it.

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.

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.
