• Progressive side bets: Casino games such as Caribbean Stud Poker often offer one of these. You normally put a bet (a dollar is the normal amount) to attempt to win a side jackpot that can reach $25,000. Though huge jackpots like this are extremely appealing, they are also incredibly difficult to succeed. You might have to hit a Royal Flush in order to succeed on this wager. Also, picture this- you wager 20 hands and put the side bet each time. That’s 20 dollars you should have used towards the actual game bet in place of a sucker wager. Picture what you might have been able to win at a bet with greater odds employing that $20.
  • Individual number wagers in Roulette: This is especially true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has two 0’s on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has just 1. This takes the complete casino edge from two% with one zero wheel to a whopping 5percent in American. The single number wager has only a one in thirty eight chance of succeeding, which are very big odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red wagers as a substitute which have a much lower house advantage.
  • Keno: Any version of Keno, and anyway you bet on it, the casino advantage can be a whopping 25%. Yes, that isn’t a typo. Because of the large set of numbers you must choose, it isn’t recommended to gamble on Keno very much. A couple of times for enjoyment, maybe. But do not spend all your cash on it or you’ll immediately discover yourself beaten.
