Progressive side wagers: Casino games such as Caribbean Stud Poker regularly have one of these. You normally put a bet ($1 is the normal amount) to attempt to win a bonus jackpot that could reach twenty-five thousand dollars. Although huge jackpots like these are particularly appealing, they’re also incredibly difficult to succeed. You might need to hit a Royal Flush in order to hit this wager. Also, think about this- you wager 20 hands and put the side wager every time. That is $20 you should have used towards the real game wager in place of a sucker wager. Just think about what you could have been able to win at a wager with greater odds using that $20.
Single number wagers in Roulette: This is particularly true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has 2 zeroes on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has only 1. This takes the overall house advantage from 2% with one zero wheel to a whopping 5% in American. The single number wager has just a 1 in 38 chance of succeeding, which are very big odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red wagers as a substitute which have a much smaller house edge.
Keno: Any version of Keno, and regardless of how you bet on it, the house advantage can be a whopping twenty-five percent. No, that wasn’t a typo. Due to the huge set of numbers you have to pick, it’s not advisable to bet on Keno very much. A couple of times for enjoyment, perhaps. But do not waste all your money on it or you’ll immediately find yourself bankrupt.
