Progressive side bets: Casino games like Caribbean Stud Poker commonly have one of these. You typically lay a wager ($1 is the usual amt.) to attempt to win a bonus jackpot that could be upwards of $25,000. Though big jackpots like these are very alluring, they’re also particularly complicated to win. You might have to get a Royal Flush in order to hit this bet. Also, think about this- you play 20 hands and make the side bet each time. That’s $20 you should have used towards the actual game bet in place of a sucker bet. Imagine what you could have been able to win at a wager with better odds using 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, unlike European Roulette, which has only one. This shifts the overall house advantage from 2% with one zero wheel to a huge 5percent in American. The individual number wager has just a one in 38 chance of winning, which are very long odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red wagers alternately which have a much lower casino edge.
Keno: Any variation of Keno, and regardless of how you wager on it, the house advantage can be a huge 25%. No, that is not a typo. Because of the large amount of numbers you have to pick, it’s not advisable to play Keno to often. A couple of times for entertainment, perhaps. But do not waste all your money on it or you’ll quickly find yourself bankrupt.
