Progressive side bets: Games like Caribbean Stud Poker regularly have one of these. You typically put a bet (a dollar is the usual amount) to attempt to win a side jackpot that can reach twenty-five thousand dollars. Though huge jackpots like this are very alluring, they’re also incredibly complicated to succeed. You might have to hit a Royal Flush in order to hit this wager. Also, think about this- you wager twenty hands and put the side wager each time. That’s 20 dollars you should have used towards the real game bet instead of a sucker wager. Just think about what you could have been able to win at a wager with better odds employing that $20.
Individual number bets in Roulette: This is completely true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has 2 0’s on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has just 1. This takes the complete house edge from 2% with one zero wheel to a huge five% in American. The single number bet has only a one in 38 chance of winning, which are very big odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red bets instead which have a much lower house advantage.
Keno: Any version of Keno, and anyway you bet on it, the house advantage can be a whopping twenty-five percent. No, that wasn’t a typo. Due to the huge amount of numbers you have to select, it isn’t advisable to gamble on Keno to often. A couple of times for entertainment, perhaps. But don’t waste all your money on it or you’ll quickly discover yourself bankrupt.
