Progressive side bets: Casino games such as Caribbean Stud Poker often have one of these. You usually put a bet ($1 is the normal amt.) to try to win a side jackpot that can reach twenty-five thousand dollars. Although big jackpots like this are very appealing, they are also particularly hard to succeed. You would need to get a Royal Flush in order to succeed on this bet. Also, imagine this- you wager twenty hands and put the side wager each time. That’s 20 dollars you should have used towards the actual game bet in place of a sucker wager. Just think about what you could have been able to win at a wager with greater odds employing that 20 dollars.
Single number wagers in Roulette: This is especially true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has two zeroes on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has just 1. This takes the overall casino advantage from 2percent with a single zero wheel to a whopping 5.26% in American. The single number bet has only a one in 38 chance of succeeding, which are very long odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red bets as a substitute which have a much smaller house advantage.
Keno: Any variation of Keno, and anyway you gamble on it, the house advantage can be a huge 25%. Yes, that was not a error. Due to the huge set of numbers you must pick, it is not advisable to gamble on Keno very much. A few times for enjoyment, maybe. But don’t spend all your cash on it or you will quickly find yourself broke.
