Progressive side wagers: Casino games like Caribbean Stud Poker commonly have one of these. You generally place a wager (a dollar is the normal amount) to try to win a bonus jackpot that could be upwards of $25,000. Though big jackpots like these are extremely appealing, they are also very difficult to win. You would have to hit a Royal Flush in order to succeed on this wager. Also, picture this- you play 20 hands and place the side bet each time. That’s $20 you should have used towards the actual game wager instead of a sucker bet. Just think about what you could have been able to win at a bet with more favorable odds using that 20 dollars.
Single number wagers 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 only 1. This takes the complete house edge from 2.63percent with one zero wheel to a huge 5.26percent in American. The individual number bet has just a 1 in 38 chance of succeeding, which are very long odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red bets as a substitute which have a much lower house edge.
Keno: Any variation of Keno, and regardless of how you wager on it, the casino edge can be a huge 25%. Yes, that wasn’t a error. Because of the large set of numbers you must pick, it’s not advisable to bet on Keno very much. A few times for fun, perhaps. But don’t spend all your cash on it or you will quickly discover yourself bankrupt.
