Progressive side bets: Games such as Caribbean Stud Poker commonly have one of these. You usually lay a bet (a dollar is the usual amount) to try to win a bonus jackpot that can reach $25,000. Although huge jackpots like this are particularly tempting, they are also incredibly complicated to succeed. You would need to hit a Royal Flush in order to win this wager. Also, think about this- you play 20 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. Imagine what you could have been able to win at a wager with more favorable odds utilizing that twenty dollars.
Single number bets in Roulette: This is particularly true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has 2 0’s on the wheel, as opposed to European Roulette, which has only 1. This takes the complete casino advantage from two% with a single zero wheel to a whopping five% in American. The single number bet has just a 1 in thirty eight chance of winning, which are very long odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red bets as a substitute which have a much lower casino edge.
Keno: Any variation of Keno, and regardless of how you wager on it, the casino edge can be a huge twenty-five percent. Yes, that is not a typo. Because of the huge set of numbers you have to select, it isn’t recommended 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 immediately discover yourself broke.
