Do you know which casino bets offer the best value and which are for suckers? We take you through the popular games and the bets to make.

Join Casino.com now for access to a full range of casino games including the best table games and hundreds of slots!

First up, let’s look at blackjack, the most popular table game. Our advice is to stay as simple as possible – most blackjack variants have a higher house edge than the standard game. You also need to use strategy to know when to double or split, and forget the insurance bet as it is one of the worst bets in the casino.

Now, for roulette. Black, red, odds and evens all have a decent house edge. What people don’t tell you is that the same goes for bets on any one number, corner bets, street bets – practically every bet has the same house edge. Only a first five bet like you will find in American roulette has a higher edge, so simply avoid this one.

Baccarat seems like an easy choice, but it turns out that the best bet is hidden. The Banker position in punto banco baccarat is the best to play, as its 5% commission is actually the only thing giving the casino an advantage. Both the Player position and the Tie have higher house edges, so always go with the bank in punto banco baccarat.

Finally, video poker is very underappreciated. Correct strategy can leave the house edge as less than 1%, and some machines will even give a slight advantage to the player when perfect strategy is used. Do not pass up the video poker games, but be sure to use strategy and find good pay tables.

October Big Winners at 32Red Online Casino32Red Casino had a pretty busy October when it came to paying out substantial amounts of cash, and strangely enough, all of these massive wins were on some of their most classic casino games.

For starters, one lucky player called Mark S had a great night at the European Roulette table by cashing in on a huge win worth £64,857. If you’re not familiar with European Roulette my advice is to give it a try. It’s an excellent game in which players experience a mix of chance and entertainment by placing straight up bets on numbers across the board, even money bets on odds/evens or black/red, or a combination of the two. It’s certainly a great way to cash in as Mark S can attest to. Read the rest of this entry »
