Progressive side bets: Games like Caribbean Stud Poker commonly have one of these. You typically lay a bet (a dollar is the usual amt.) to try to win a bonus jackpot that could reach $25,000. Though big jackpots like these are very tempting, they’re also very complicated to succeed. You would have to get a Royal Flush in order to hit this bet. Also, imagine this- you play twenty hands and put the side wager each time. That is 20 dollars you could have used towards the actual game bet in place of a sucker wager. Just think about what you might have been able to win at a wager with greater odds utilizing that 20 dollars.
Individual number wagers in Roulette: This is especially true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has 2 zeroes on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has only one. This takes the complete casino advantage from 2.63% with a single zero wheel to a whopping 5.26% in American. The individual number bet has just a 1 in thirty eight chance of succeeding, which are very long odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red bets as a substitute which have a much smaller casino edge.
Keno: Any version of Keno, and anyway you play it, the house advantage can be a huge 25%. Yes, that is not a typo. Because of the huge set of numbers you must select, it isn’t advisable to bet on Keno to often. A few times for entertainment, maybe. But do not spend all your money on it or you will immediately discover yourself broke.
