Progressive side bets: Games like Caribbean Stud Poker commonly offer one of these. You usually lay a bet (a dollar is the normal value) to try to win a bonus jackpot that could reach twenty-five thousand dollars. Though big jackpots like this are extremely tempting, they’re also particularly difficult to succeed. You might need to get a Royal Flush in order to hit this wager. Also, picture this- you wager twenty hands and make the side wager each time. That’s 20 dollars you could have used towards the actual game bet in place of a sucker bet. Just think about what you could have been able to win at a wager with more favorable odds employing that 20 dollars.
Single number wagers in Roulette: This is especially true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has two 0’s on the wheel, as opposed to European Roulette, which has just one. This takes the complete casino advantage from 2.63percent with a single zero wheel to a whopping 5.26% in American. The one number bet has just a 1 in 38 chance of winning, which are very long odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red bets as a substitute which have a much smaller casino advantage.
Keno: Any version of Keno, and anyway you bet on it, the house edge can be a whopping 25%. No, that isn’t a typo. Due to the large set of numbers you must select, it isn’t advisable to wager on Keno very much. A couple of times for entertainment, maybe. But don’t waste all your cash on it or you will immediately discover yourself beaten.
