Progressive side bets: Games such as Caribbean Stud Poker often contain one of these. You normally place a bet (a dollar is the usual value) to attempt to win a bonus jackpot that can be upwards of twenty-five thousand dollars. Though big jackpots like these are extremely alluring, they’re also very difficult to succeed. You would need to hit a Royal Flush in order to succeed on this bet. Also, think about this- you wager 20 hands and put the side wager each time. That’s twenty dollars you could have used towards the actual game bet instead of a sucker wager. Just think about what you could have been able to win at a bet with better odds employing that twenty dollars.
Individual number bets in Roulette: This is completely true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has two 0’s on the wheel, as opposed to European Roulette, which has just one. This shifts the overall casino advantage from 2percent with one zero wheel to a whopping 5percent in American. The single number bet has just a one in 38 chance of winning, which are very big odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red bets as a substitute which have a much lower casino advantage.
Keno: Any variation of Keno, and anyway you gamble on it, the house advantage can be a whopping 25%. No, that is not a typo. Due to the huge set of numbers you have to select, it’s not advisable to bet on Keno very much. A couple of times for fun, maybe. But do not spend all your money on it or you’ll quickly discover yourself beaten.
