The question for the poll is would you make these side bets if playing baccarat anyway?
Quote: GialmereVery sad. With their low overhead it looked like online casinos would stick to decent pay tables but, things no longer seem to be trending in that direction. Admittedly live dealers cost more money but the HE here is a disgrace. You may as well play live Keno.
Time and time again, casinos are not rewarded for offering generous odds. The fact of the matter is the vast majority of players will play anything and don't care about the particular rules. If anything, they may somehow favor worse rules, as evidenced by 6-5 blackjack and triple-zero roulette.

I don’t know about favoring worse rules, per se, but probably a combination of not being fully aware of the difference AND lower table minimums.

Do you still think your 99% casino is a good idea?

Time after time you see more people at a triple-zero wheel than double-zero in the same casino with the same minimum.
I have seen players at 6-5 tables betting green chips, which would satisfy the minimum at a 3-2 table. I seriously think a high percentage, perhaps the majority, of casino gamblers in the US, couldn't affirmatively tell you which is greater 3/2 or 6/5. I suspect many would say 6/5, because both numbers in the fraction are bigger than those in 3/2.

Yes, absolutely. Unfortunately, it remains stuck in the mud for lack of 99% slots.
I read that A&W introduced a 1/3 pound burger many years ago to compete with the quarter pounder. But it flopped since most people think 1/4 is more than 1/3Quote: WizardTime after time you see more people at a triple-zero wheel than double-zero in the same casino with the same minimum.

I'd believe it about the BJ, though the Roulette thing comes as quite a surprise.
