Progressive side wagers: Games such as Caribbean Stud Poker often have one of these. You usually put a bet (a dollar is the usual value) to attempt to win a bonus jackpot that can reach $25,000. Although big jackpots like these are extremely appealing, they’re also particularly hard to succeed. You would need to get a Royal Flush in order to hit this bet. Also, imagine this- you wager twenty hands and make the side bet each time. That’s $20 you could have used towards the real game wager instead of a sucker wager. Picture what you could have been able to win at a bet with more favorable odds using that $20.
Single number bets 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 1. This takes the overall house edge from 2.63% with a single zero wheel to a huge 5.26% in American. The one number bet has just a one in thirty eight chance of succeeding, which are very big odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red bets as a substitute which have a much lower casino edge.
Keno: Any variation of Keno, and anyway you wager on it, the house advantage can be a huge twenty-five percent. No, that wasn’t a typo. Because of the huge set of numbers you have to choose, it’s not advisable to wager on Keno to often. A couple of times for fun, maybe. But do not spend all your cash on it or you will immediately find yourself bankrupt.
