Progressive side wagers: Games like Caribbean Stud Poker regularly have one of these. You generally lay a bet (a dollar is the usual amt.) to try to win a side jackpot that can reach $25,000. Though huge jackpots like these are very appealing, they’re also incredibly difficult to succeed. You might have to get a Royal Flush in order to win this wager. Also, imagine this- you play 20 hands and make the side wager each time. That is $20 you should have used towards the actual game wager in place of a sucker wager. Just think about what you might have been able to win at a wager with greater odds employing that $20.
Individual number bets in Roulette: This is especially true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has 2 0’s on the wheel, as opposed to European Roulette, which has only 1. This shifts the complete house edge from 2percent with a single zero wheel to a huge 5percent in American. The one number wager has only a 1 in thirty eight chance of succeeding, which are very big odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red bets alternately which have a much smaller house edge.
Keno: Any version of Keno, and regardless of how you bet on it, the casino advantage can be a whopping 25%. Yes, that is not a error. Due to the large set of numbers you have to select, it isn’t advisable to play Keno to often. A few times for fun, perhaps. But do not spend all your money on it or you’ll immediately discover yourself broke.
