Progressive side bets: Games such as Caribbean Stud Poker commonly have one of these. You normally place a wager ($1 is the normal value) to try to win a bonus jackpot that could reach $25,000. Although big jackpots like these are extremely tempting, they are also very hard to win. You might need to hit a Royal Flush in order to succeed on this bet. Also, picture this- you play twenty hands and make the side wager each time. That’s 20 dollars you should have used towards the actual game wager instead of a sucker bet. Imagine what you might have been able to win at a bet with greater odds utilizing that $20.
Single number wagers in Roulette: This is especially true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has 2 0’s on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has only one. This shifts the overall house edge from 2percent with a single zero wheel to a huge 5.26% in American. The one number wager has only a one in thirty eight chance of succeeding, which are very big odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red bets instead which have a much smaller casino advantage.
Keno: Any variation of Keno, and anyway you gamble on it, the casino edge can be a huge 25%. No, that isn’t a error. Due to the large set of numbers you have to choose, it is not advisable to bet on Keno very much. A couple of times for fun, perhaps. But do not spend all your cash on it or you will quickly find yourself broke.
