Progressive side wagers: Casino games such as Caribbean Stud Poker regularly contain one of these. You generally place a bet (a dollar is the usual amt.) to try to win a side jackpot that can be upwards of $25,000. Though big jackpots like these are particularly appealing, they are also particularly difficult to succeed. You might need to hit a Royal Flush in order to hit this wager. Also, picture this- you wager twenty hands and place the side bet every time. That’s twenty dollars you could have used towards the real game bet instead of a sucker wager. Just think about what you might have been able to win at a wager with better odds using that $20.
Individual number wagers in Roulette: This is particularly true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has 2 zeroes on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has only 1. This takes the overall house advantage from 2.63percent with a single zero wheel to a whopping 5% in American. The one number bet has only a 1 in 38 chance of winning, which are very long odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red wagers instead which have a much lower house advantage.
Keno: Any version of Keno, and anyway you wager on it, the house advantage can be a whopping twenty-five percent. No, that isn’t a typo. Due to the large amount of numbers you must select, it isn’t recommended to play Keno to often. A couple of times for fun, maybe. But do not waste all your money on it or you will immediately discover yourself beaten.
