Progressive side wagers: Casino games such as Caribbean Stud Poker regularly have one of these. You generally lay a wager (a dollar is the normal amount) to try to win a bonus jackpot that could be upwards of twenty-five thousand dollars. Although huge jackpots like these are extremely appealing, they’re also particularly hard to succeed. You would have to get a Royal Flush in order to succeed on this wager. Also, picture this- you play 20 hands and place the side bet each time. That is twenty dollars you should have used towards the real game wager in place of a sucker wager. Imagine what you could have been able to win at a bet with more favorable odds utilizing that $20.
Single number bets in Roulette: This is particularly true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has 2 0’s on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has just one. This takes the complete house advantage from 2% with one zero wheel to a whopping 5% in American. The individual number wager has just a one in 38 chance of winning, which are very long odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red wagers instead which have a much lower house advantage.
Keno: Any variation of Keno, and anyway you bet on it, the casino edge can be a huge 25%. No, that is not a error. Because of the huge set of numbers you have to choose, it is not recommended to wager on Keno very much. A couple of times for enjoyment, maybe. But do not spend all your money on it or you’ll immediately find yourself beaten.
