Bets That You Should Avoid When Playing in a Casino

Casino gambling is undoubtedly one of the largest industries in the world in the 21st century, something that has been greatly helped by the emergence of online casinos, as well as the continued spread of brick and mortar casino establishments across the world. In fact, it is these land-based casinos that continue to be the source of the most wonder in the modern world, mainly because they are just so incredibly grand and decadent.

The main reason for this comes back to the famous gambling quote, “the house always wins”. This is the reason that casinos continue to exist, and indeed why they are proliferating at an exponentially increasing rate. Casino games like fluffy slots are necessarily designed with house edge in mind, however this doesn’t mean that it’s impossible to win when playing in a casino. The trick is learning the bets that you should avoid when playing in a casino. Read ahead to find some of these out!

Blackjack insurance bet

Blackjack beginners are usually the main group of people that can get suckered into placing the insurance bet whenever possible, mainly because it is quite a tempting proposition to safeguard your bankroll, especially when you don’t really understand exactly what it is. In simplistic terms, an insurance bet is available whenever a dealer has an Ace card, and its purpose is to protect your hand if they end up with a blackjack.

At first this can sound like a fantastic idea, however in reality taking the insurance bet is a waste of money in most cases. The reason for this is that the dealer is much more likely to pick a 2nd card that doesn’t result in a blackjack, and this therefore means your insurance bet is wasted.

Craps inside bets

Craps is a strange game in that it can routinely be called either the best or worst game in relation to its house edge. Many gambling novices will be very tempted to place some money on the inside bets, because on the face of it these look like they have much better odds of achieving a pay out.

In fact most craps bets have relatively high house edges and should be avoided. Here are the best bets to make during craps:

· Odds bet: 0% house advantage

· Don’t pass: 1.36% house advantage

· Pass: 1.41% house advantage

These are the best bets to make as a beginner for sure, more experienced craps players will have their own techniques, however these are best to learn over time.

Any bet on American roulette

One thing that far too many people are not aware of when it comes to the game of roulette is the fact that there are two main different versions: American roulette and European roulette. The former is one extra zero value on the wheel, and this actually serves to double the house edge, and half the odds of a win.

It therefore makes sense to completely avoid American roulette wheels.
