Progressive side wagers: Games like Caribbean Stud Poker regularly offer one of these. You typically put a wager ($1 is the usual amount) to try to win a bonus jackpot that could be upwards of $25,000. Though huge jackpots like these are very appealing, they are also incredibly difficult to succeed. You might have to hit a Royal Flush in order to win this wager. Also, picture this- you wager 20 hands and make the side wager each time. That’s twenty dollars you could have used towards the actual game wager instead of a sucker wager. Picture what you might have been able to win at a bet with more favorable odds using that twenty dollars.
Single number wagers in Roulette: This is completely true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has 2 0’s on the wheel, as opposed to European Roulette, which has only one. This takes the complete house advantage from 2percent with one zero wheel to a whopping 5percent in American. The one number bet has only a 1 in thirty eight chance of succeeding, which are very big odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red bets instead which have a much smaller casino advantage.
Keno: Any variation of Keno, and anyway you bet on it, the house advantage can be a whopping twenty-five percent. Yes, that isn’t a typo. Due to the large amount of numbers you must pick, it’s not recommended to wager on Keno to often. A number of times for entertainment, maybe. But do not spend all your cash on it or you’ll quickly find yourself bankrupt.
