Progressive side wagers: Games like Caribbean Stud Poker commonly offer one of these. You typically place a wager (a dollar is the normal value) to attempt to win a side jackpot that could be upwards of $25,000. Although big jackpots like these are very tempting, they are also very hard to win. You might have to get a Royal Flush in order to hit this wager. Also, think about this- you wager twenty hands and place the side bet every time. That’s 20 dollars you could have used towards the actual game bet in place of a sucker bet. Imagine what you could have been able to win at a bet with more favorable odds employing that twenty dollars.
Single number wagers in Roulette: This is especially true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has two 0’s on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has just one. This shifts the overall house advantage from twopercent with a single zero wheel to a whopping five% 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 bets alternately which have a much lower house edge.
Keno: Any variation of Keno, and regardless of how you play it, the casino advantage can be a huge 25%. Yes, that wasn’t a typo. Due to the large set of numbers you have to select, it is not advisable to wager on Keno very much. A couple of times for enjoyment, perhaps. But do not spend all your cash on it or you will immediately discover yourself beaten.
