Progressive side wagers: Casino games such as Caribbean Stud Poker regularly have one of these. You usually put a bet ($1 is the usual value) to try to win a side jackpot that could reach twenty-five thousand dollars. Although huge jackpots like these are very alluring, they are also incredibly hard to succeed. You would have to get a Royal Flush in order to win this bet. Also, imagine this- you wager twenty hands and lay the side wager every time. That’s 20 dollars you should have used towards the actual game wager instead of a sucker wager. Picture what you might have been able to win at a wager with more favorable odds using that $20.
Single number wagers in Roulette: This is especially true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has 2 zeroes on the wheel, as opposed to European Roulette, which has just one. This takes the overall casino advantage from 2percent with a single zero wheel to a huge fivepercent in American. The individual number wager has just a 1 in thirty eight chance of winning, which are very long odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red wagers instead which have a much lower house advantage.
Keno: Any version of Keno, and anyway you gamble on it, the casino advantage can be a huge 25%. No, that is not a error. Due to the huge amount of numbers you have to pick, it isn’t recommended to bet on Keno to often. A few times for enjoyment, perhaps. But don’t waste all your money on it or you’ll immediately find yourself broke.
