Progressive side bets: Games like Caribbean Stud Poker commonly have one of these. You typically put a wager ($1 is the normal amount) to attempt to win a bonus jackpot that could reach twenty-five thousand dollars. Although huge jackpots like this are particularly tempting, they are also incredibly complicated to win. You might need to get a Royal Flush in order to succeed on this bet. Also, think about this- you wager twenty hands and place the side wager each time. That is $20 you could have used towards the actual game bet in place of a sucker bet. Just think about what you could have been able to win at a bet with more favorable odds using that 20 dollars.
Individual number wagers in Roulette: This is particularly true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has 2 zeroes on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has just one. This shifts the overall casino advantage from 2.63% with one zero wheel to a huge 5percent in American. The individual number wager has just a 1 in 38 chance of succeeding, which are very long odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red wagers as a substitute which have a much smaller house edge.
Keno: Any variation of Keno, and regardless of how you play it, the casino edge can be a whopping 25%. No, that isn’t a error. Due to the large amount of numbers you have to pick, it’s not recommended to bet on Keno to often. A few times for entertainment, perhaps. But don’t spend all your cash on it or you’ll immediately find yourself beaten.
