Progressive side bets: Games such as Caribbean Stud Poker commonly have one of these. You usually lay a bet (a dollar is the normal amount) to try to win a side jackpot that can be upwards of twenty-five thousand dollars. Though big jackpots like these are extremely tempting, they’re also very complicated to win. You would need to get a Royal Flush in order to hit this bet. Also, think about this- you play twenty hands and place the side wager every time. That is twenty dollars you could have used towards the real game bet in place of a sucker wager. Imagine what you might have been able to win at a bet with greater odds using that $20.
Single number wagers in Roulette: This is particularly true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has 2 zeroes on the wheel, as opposed to European Roulette, which has only 1. This shifts the overall casino advantage from two% with a single zero wheel to a whopping five% in American. The single number wager has only a 1 in 38 chance of succeeding, which are very long odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red wagers alternately which have a much smaller casino advantage.
Keno: Any version of Keno, and regardless of how you wager on it, the casino edge can be a huge 25%. Yes, that is not a typo. Because of the large set of numbers you must pick, it is not recommended to play Keno very much. A few times for enjoyment, perhaps. But don’t spend all your cash on it or you will immediately discover yourself broke.
