Progressive side wagers: Casino games like Caribbean Stud Poker commonly offer one of these. You normally put a wager (a dollar is the usual amt.) to attempt to win a side jackpot that could be upwards of $25,000. Though huge jackpots like this are extremely tempting, they’re also incredibly complicated to win. You would have to get a Royal Flush in order to win this bet. Also, picture this- you play twenty hands and lay the side wager every time. That’s twenty dollars you should have used towards the actual game wager in place of a sucker bet. Imagine what you could have been able to win at a bet with greater odds using that $20.
Single number bets in Roulette: This is completely true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has 2 zeroes on the wheel, as opposed to European Roulette, which has just one. This takes the complete house edge from twopercent with one zero wheel to a huge 5.26% in American. The single number wager has just a one in thirty eight chance of winning, which are very big odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red wagers as a substitute which have a much lower house edge.
Keno: Any variation of Keno, and anyway you wager on it, the house advantage can be a whopping twenty-five percent. Yes, that is not a error. Because of the huge set of numbers you must select, it is not advisable to wager on Keno very much. A few times for fun, perhaps. But do not waste all your cash on it or you will quickly discover yourself bankrupt.
