  • Progressive side wagers: Games such as Caribbean Stud Poker regularly offer one of these. You typically place a bet (a dollar is the normal amt.) to attempt to win a side jackpot that can be upwards of twenty-five thousand dollars. Although huge jackpots like these are very tempting, they are also particularly hard to succeed. You might need to hit a Royal Flush in order to hit this bet. Also, think about this- you play 20 hands and make the side bet every time. That is twenty dollars you should have used towards the actual game wager instead of a sucker wager. Just think about what you might have been able to win at a wager with better odds employing that 20 dollars.
  • Individual number wagers in Roulette: This is especially true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has 2 0’s on the wheel, as opposed to European Roulette, which has just one. This takes the complete casino edge from 2percent with one zero wheel to a huge fivepercent in American. The one number bet has just a one in 38 chance of winning, which are very long odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red bets as a substitute which have a much smaller house advantage.
  • Keno: Any version of Keno, and anyway you play it, the house advantage can be a whopping 25%. No, that is not a typo. Due to the huge amount of numbers you have to pick, it’s not recommended to wager on Keno to often. A few times for enjoyment, maybe. But don’t waste all your cash on it or you’ll quickly find yourself bankrupt.
