"There is no such thing as a good casino side bet. Side bets are small and casinos hope players will bet a dollar or two and won't realize how much they lose over time."

"The big six wheel is a pure sucker game, with the house edge ranging from a whopping 11% for the best $1 bet to an astounding 24% on the special bets."

"Playing baccarat is one of the best things you can do in the casino. The house edge is incredibly low but unlike blackjack, you don't have to make any decisions which affect the game."
