Do side bets ever make sense?

The small wins are the trap
That dumb little sheet bit got me. I did 18 hands once and hated myself
Roulette's WORSE for that. Vague rules, then bam.
Yeah, busy tables choke bet behind. Peak hours were always worse for me.
Couple seconds? Are you on wifi while sports betting too, or just this blackjack stream?
Nah, that's not you missing a menu. I had the same with bet365.
I like to mix it up between poker and slots but man, some of these slots just eat your credits way too fast. I’m looking for something that’ll let me chill and spin for an hour or two without ripping through my bankroll in ten minutes. High variance is fun for big wins but it’s a mood killer if you’re not seeing any bonus rounds forever. Do you guys aim for the games that have lots of smaller wins to stretch things out? Or maybe something with frequent features that pop up a lot to keep you entertained? I get that everything’s stacked in the house’s favor but I don’t want to feel like I’m just lighting money on fire. I’m open to any suggestions, especially those that aren’t all just about chasing huge jackpots.
I’ve been running into the same issue with bonuses lately where I can’t tell how close I am to finishing the wagering requirements. Sometimes the casino shows the progress bar or a percentage left, other times it’s just a mystery until you try to withdraw and get blocked. It makes planning my bets or switching games super annoying. I don’t care so much about the match percentage or if there’s a million free spins, just want a clear and simple way to see what’s left to clear. Usually I like doing sports bets and the occasional slot spin when I’m winding down from poker sessions, so having some easy tracking saves me time. Anybody know of a specific type of bonus or a trick to filter for sites that always show remaining wagering requirements clearly? Or is it just hit-or-miss based on where you play?
Every time there's a football game in the rain or a windy baseball day, I feel like I'm the only one making last-minute tweaks to my bets. The weird thing is, I barely hear anyone talk about the weather when they're posting their picks. Rain messes up passing games, winds blow kicks off course, and even little things like humidity can jack with a pitcher's grip. It's not even just pros either, right? Even casual bets swing on this stuff. I get maybe the weather doesn't always mean everything, but ignoring it just feels off. Am I overthinking this or do most folks just not care unless it's some massive snowstorm or hurricane? Does anyone here actually track this stuff or nah?
