Progressive side bets: Games such as Caribbean Stud Poker often offer one of these. You usually put a wager ($1 is the usual value) to attempt to win a side jackpot that can be upwards of $25,000. Although big jackpots like these are particularly alluring, they are also very complicated to win. You might have to hit a Royal Flush in order to succeed on this bet. Also, think about this- you wager 20 hands and put the side bet every time. That’s $20 you should have used towards the actual game wager instead of a sucker wager. Just think about what you might have been able to win at a bet with greater odds utilizing that $20.
Individual number bets in Roulette: This is especially 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 a single zero wheel to a huge 5percent in American. The one number bet has just a one in thirty eight chance of succeeding, which are very long odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red bets alternately which have a much lower house edge.
Keno: Any version of Keno, and anyway you play it, the house advantage can be a huge 25%. No, that is not a error. Because of the huge amount of numbers you must pick, it isn’t advisable to wager on Keno to often. A few times for fun, maybe. But do not spend all your money on it or you will immediately find yourself broke.
