• Progressive side bets: Games like Caribbean Stud Poker regularly offer one of these. You normally place a wager (a dollar is the usual amt.) to attempt to win a bonus jackpot that can reach $25,000. Although huge jackpots like this are particularly alluring, they are also particularly complicated to succeed. You would have to get a Royal Flush in order to win this wager. Also, picture this- you wager 20 hands and place the side bet each time. That is twenty dollars you could have used towards the real game wager in place of a sucker wager. Picture what you might have been able to win at a bet with greater odds using that 20 dollars.
  • Single number bets in Roulette: This is completely true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has 2 0’s on the wheel, as opposed to European Roulette, which has only one. This takes the overall casino edge from 2.63percent with a single zero wheel to a huge 5.26percent in American. The one number wager has just a 1 in 38 chance of succeeding, which are very big odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red bets as a substitute which have a much smaller casino advantage.
  • Keno: Any version of Keno, and regardless of how you wager on it, the casino advantage can be a whopping 25%. No, that was not a error. Because of the huge set of numbers you must pick, it’s not advisable to play Keno to often. A couple of times for fun, perhaps. But do not waste all your cash on it or you will immediately find yourself bankrupt.
