Progressive side bets: Games such as Caribbean Stud Poker regularly have one of these. You typically put a wager (a dollar is the usual amount) to attempt to win a bonus jackpot that could reach $25,000. Though huge jackpots like these are particularly tempting, they’re also incredibly difficult to succeed. You might need to get a Royal Flush in order to succeed on this bet. Also, imagine this- you wager 20 hands and lay the side wager each time. That is $20 you could have used towards the actual game bet instead of a sucker bet. Just think about what you might have been able to win at a wager with better odds using that $20.
Single number wagers in Roulette: This is particularly true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has two zeroes on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has just one. This takes the complete house advantage from 2percent with a single zero wheel to a huge fivepercent in American. The one number wager has only a 1 in 38 chance of succeeding, which are very long odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red wagers instead which have a much lower casino advantage.
Keno: Any version of Keno, and anyway you play it, the casino edge can be a huge twenty-five percent. No, that was not a error. Because of the large set of numbers you have to select, it isn’t advisable to gamble on Keno to often. A few times for entertainment, perhaps. But don’t waste all your cash on it or you will quickly discover yourself beaten.
