  • Progressive side bets: Games like Caribbean Stud Poker commonly have one of these. You usually place a wager (a dollar is the usual value) to try to win a bonus jackpot that could be upwards of $25,000. Though huge jackpots like these are particularly tempting, they’re also particularly difficult to win. You might have to get a Royal Flush in order to win this wager. Also, picture this- you play 20 hands and put the side bet each time. That is 20 dollars you could have used towards the actual game wager in place of a sucker bet. Just think about what you might have been able to win at a wager with more favorable odds utilizing that 20 dollars.
  • Individual number bets in Roulette: This is completely 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 advantage from two% with one zero wheel to a whopping 5.26percent in American. The single number bet has just a one in thirty eight chance of succeeding, which are very long odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red bets instead which have a much smaller casino edge.
  • Keno: Any variation of Keno, and anyway you wager on it, the house advantage can be a huge 25%. Yes, that wasn’t a typo. Because of the large amount of numbers you must choose, it is not recommended to wager on Keno very much. A couple of times for enjoyment, perhaps. But don’t spend all your cash on it or you’ll quickly find yourself bankrupt.
