  • Progressive side bets: Games like Caribbean Stud Poker often offer one of these. You usually lay a bet ($1 is the usual amount) to try to win a side jackpot that can be upwards of $25,000. Though big jackpots like this are particularly tempting, they’re also particularly difficult to succeed. You would have to get a Royal Flush in order to succeed on this wager. Also, think about this- you wager 20 hands and lay the side wager each time. That’s twenty dollars you could have used towards the actual game bet instead of a sucker bet. Picture what you could have been able to win at a bet with greater odds utilizing that 20 dollars.
  • Individual number bets in Roulette: This is especially true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has 2 zeroes on the wheel, as opposed to European Roulette, which has only one. This takes the overall house advantage from 2.63percent with a single zero wheel to a whopping fivepercent in American. The single number bet has only a 1 in thirty eight chance of winning, which are very long odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red wagers as a substitute which have a much smaller casino edge.
  • Keno: Any version of Keno, and regardless of how you play it, the house edge can be a whopping twenty-five percent. No, that isn’t a typo. Because of the huge set of numbers you must select, it isn’t recommended to wager on Keno very much. A few times for enjoyment, maybe. But don’t spend all your money on it or you’ll quickly find yourself bankrupt.
