It could be just me, but in my opinion, side bets are not so appealing and they are riskier than I am comfortable with.
That is why I prefer to just go for moneyline and try to guess which team will end up winning a match.

It is already difficult to get consistency with moneyline bets, it is almost impossible to be profitable from only side bets. And if someone was consistent with those kind of bets, I would immediately assume they manage privileged information of some sort.

To me they are not worth it and are only supposed to be a source of entertainment or amusement.

Most bettors engage in side bet because of it fun that gives maximum fun and relaxation because they are aware of it's house edge, even though the payout is big if you win, they are not disturbed with that which will make them start chasing their losses or win, all they are after is to crack some jokes and be relief of their burden, every gambler see it as a side distraction from their real gambling activities because you must definitely lose the game except in some rear cases that a gambler wins.

Still precautions needs to be taken so that you don't gamble with your entire bankroll but what you can afford to lose because it's very tempting and difficult to control yourself.

The bet is not the problem ooh. It's the small losses that becomes big one. That's one aspect I expect someone not to neglect. That's why having a maximum is crucial even though you are playing for fun. At a point, you have to stop. Isn't it? Yes. Apply your appropriate risk management. Honestly, bothering yourself with all these house edge and stuff will hurt you. That's why the fun has to be there. It's still ok as you are questioning it. That's very ok. You can still do this calculations and still get your fair share of disappointment.
Some will tell you that they are playing for fun which is the reason why they also bet on the sides, I don't understand i really understand the different feelings they derives from the very strategic game pattern that even sets them more at risk.
Meanwhile after loosing the bet they are still the ones complaining that if they never included the side bets in their game and just played straight games they would had win.

It is also quite funny how we are just forcing ourselves to describe our gambling activities as fun when we are focused on the profits but finds the casinos or sportbooks unfair when slight decisions we makes especially in the side bets turns to be the barrier that ruins our winning.
