Progressive side wagers: Casino games such as Caribbean Stud Poker often offer one of these. You typically place a bet ($1 is the usual value) to try to win a side jackpot that can be upwards of $25,000. Though big jackpots like this are very appealing, they are also very complicated to win. You might have to hit a Royal Flush in order to win this bet. Also, think about this- you wager twenty hands and place the side bet every time. That is twenty dollars you could have used towards the actual game wager instead of a sucker bet. Just think about what you might have been able to win at a wager with greater odds using that twenty dollars.
Individual number bets in Roulette: This is completely true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has two 0’s on the wheel, as opposed to European Roulette, which has just one. This takes the complete house advantage from 2% with a single zero wheel to a whopping 5percent in American. The one number bet has only a one in 38 chance of winning, which are very long odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red bets instead which have a much smaller casino advantage.
Keno: Any version of Keno, and regardless of how you bet on it, the casino advantage can be a whopping 25%. Yes, that was not a typo. Because of the huge set of numbers you have to select, it is not advisable to play Keno very much. A few times for enjoyment, perhaps. But do not waste all your money on it or you’ll immediately discover yourself bankrupt.
