Games to Avoid-BlackJack

Single Deck - that pays 6 to 5 on blackjacks

Most new members to casinos do not methodically study the games. Whereas there is always a probability of winning in the short run, it has been alleged that the built-in casino benefit is the "price of the entertainment" for the frivolous player. Except with the 6/5 short payoffs on blackjacks, the cost is way too high.

Let's presume you visit a movie theater once a month, and forfeit $8 for a ticket. Unexpectedly, the theater decides to raise its ticket price to $64 would you still prefer to go to theater, when other related theaters would charge only $8.00? Or rather would you take your company to one of the $8 movie? By playing solitary deck blackjack that pays only 6 to 5 on blackjacks, you are actually practicing the same thing as patronizing the $64 movie theater.

Blackjack Insurance - when you look at it critically, you're actually pretty much doing the opposite of insuring with hse edge that's about 8%
Caribean Stud Side Betting - hse edges could go past 25% and the returns are rarely worth the while
Blackjack Hunch - this could go up all the way to 20%
Keno (live) - just like the Caribbean side bet, this lottery-like bet's hse edges could exceed the 25% mark
Big 6 Wheel - depending on how many players you have, hse edges often range up to 24% with the lowest ones being over 10%

But if I go to the casino I'd rather play Blackjack than roulette because roulette is pure probability from my point-of-view.

I doubt anyone who got a RF on carribean Stud side bet would call that "worst bets you can make "

Besides the house edge varies with the size of the JP. Also sometimes during a bad run BJ insurance can be very helpfull too . ( I insure 20 against Ace , otherwise dealer is kicking my ass)

I could agree with you to some degree...

There's still a lot of "disclaimer" to that...only for those who really believe in themselves and rarely disappoint themselves....
