  • Progressive side wagers: Casino games such as Caribbean Stud Poker commonly offer one of these. You usually put a wager ($1 is the usual amount) to attempt to win a side jackpot that can reach twenty-five thousand dollars. Although huge jackpots like these are extremely appealing, they’re also incredibly hard to win. You might need to hit a Royal Flush in order to hit this wager. Also, think about this- you play twenty hands and place the side bet every time. That’s $20 you should have used towards the real game wager in place of a sucker wager. Picture what you might have been able to win at a wager with better odds employing that 20 dollars.
  • 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 only 1. This takes the complete house advantage from 2percent with one zero wheel to a whopping 5percent in American. The single number bet has only a one in 38 chance of succeeding, which are very big odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red bets alternately which have a much lower casino edge.
  • Keno: Any version of Keno, and anyway you play it, the casino advantage can be a huge twenty-five percent. Yes, that isn’t a typo. Because of the large set of numbers you must pick, it isn’t recommended to bet on Keno to often. A number of times for enjoyment, perhaps. But don’t spend all your money on it or you will quickly find yourself beaten.
