Progressive side bets: Casino games such as Caribbean Stud Poker often have one of these. You typically lay a wager (a dollar is the usual amt.) to try to win a bonus jackpot that can be upwards of twenty-five thousand dollars. Although huge jackpots like these are very alluring, they are also particularly difficult to win. You would have to get a Royal Flush in order to win this wager. Also, think about this- you wager twenty hands and make the side bet each time. That’s twenty dollars you should have used towards the actual game bet in place of a sucker wager. Just think about what you could have been able to win at a bet with greater odds using that $20.
Individual number wagers in Roulette: This is especially true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has two zeroes on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has only 1. This takes the overall casino advantage from 2.63percent with a single zero wheel to a huge 5% in American. The single number bet has just a 1 in 38 chance of winning, which are very big odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red bets instead which have a much smaller house advantage.
Keno: Any variation of Keno, and anyway you wager on it, the casino edge can be a huge twenty-five percent. Yes, that is not a typo. Due to the large amount of numbers you must choose, it’s not advisable to bet on Keno very much. A number of times for entertainment, perhaps. But don’t waste all your money on it or you’ll quickly discover yourself beaten.
