• Progressive side wagers: Casino games like Caribbean Stud Poker commonly contain one of these. You generally place a bet ($1 is the usual amt.) to attempt to win a side jackpot that could reach $25,000. Though huge jackpots like this are extremely tempting, they are also particularly difficult to succeed. You might need to get a Royal Flush in order to succeed on this bet. Also, think about this- you wager 20 hands and place the side bet every time. That’s $20 you could have used towards the real game wager instead of a sucker bet. Picture what you could have been able to win at a wager with greater odds using that $20.
  • Individual number bets in Roulette: This is particularly true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has two zeroes on the wheel, as opposed to European Roulette, which has just one. This takes the overall casino edge from 2.63percent with a single zero wheel to a huge 5percent in American. The individual number bet has only a one in 38 chance of winning, which are very long odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red wagers alternately which have a much smaller house advantage.
  • Keno: Any version of Keno, and regardless of how you wager on it, the house advantage can be a whopping twenty-five percent. No, that is not a typo. Due to the large set of numbers you have to pick, it isn’t recommended to gamble on Keno to often. A few times for entertainment, perhaps. But don’t waste all your money on it or you’ll immediately find yourself bankrupt.
