Progressive side bets: Games like Caribbean Stud Poker often offer one of these. You usually put a wager ($1 is the usual amt.) to attempt to win a side jackpot that could reach $25,000. Although huge jackpots like these are extremely appealing, they are also particularly complicated to win. You might have to hit a Royal Flush in order to succeed on this wager. Also, think about this- you wager 20 hands and lay the side wager every time. That’s 20 dollars you should have used towards the real game wager in place of a sucker bet. Imagine what you might have been able to win at a bet with greater odds utilizing that $20.
Single number wagers in Roulette: This is completely true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has two 0’s on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has only one. This shifts the complete casino advantage from 2.63% with a single zero wheel to a huge 5% in American. The single number bet has just 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 lower casino edge.
Keno: Any version of Keno, and anyway you wager on it, the casino edge can be a whopping 25%. Yes, that wasn’t a error. Because of the huge amount of numbers you must select, it isn’t recommended to gamble on Keno to often. A couple of times for fun, perhaps. But don’t spend all your money on it or you’ll immediately discover yourself beaten.
