What is Low-Risk Betting?

Low-risk betting, sometimes called equal betting or covering, describes wagers that hedge most of the possible outcomes so that turnover is generated with little net exposure. Betting red and black at once on roulette, backing both banker and player at baccarat, or covering nearly every number are the standard examples. Almost all bonus terms explicitly ban it while wagering is outstanding, because the aim is to run up turnover rather than to play the game. Bets identified as low risk are usually excluded from wagering progress, and the bonus itself may be voided along with any winnings. It is worth stressing that covering outcomes does not remove the house edge either: the zero on a roulette wheel and the commission at baccarat still apply, so the pattern loses money over time.
