• Progressive side wagers: Casino games such as Caribbean Stud Poker regularly have one of these. You typically lay a wager ($1 is the usual amount) to try to win a side jackpot that could reach twenty-five thousand dollars. Although big jackpots like this are particularly tempting, they’re also incredibly hard to win. You would have to hit a Royal Flush in order to succeed on this bet. Also, picture this- you play 20 hands and lay the side bet every time. That’s twenty dollars you could have used towards the real game bet in place of a sucker wager. Just think about what you might have been able to win at a wager with more favorable odds employing that twenty dollars.
  • Single number bets in Roulette: This is completely true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has 2 0’s on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has just 1. This takes the overall casino advantage from 2.63percent with a single zero wheel to a whopping five% in American. The individual number bet has only a one in 38 chance of winning, which are very long odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red wagers alternately which have a much lower house edge.
  • Keno: Any version of Keno, and anyway you wager on it, the casino advantage can be a whopping 25%. Yes, that wasn’t a error. Due to the huge set of numbers you must choose, it is not recommended to gamble on Keno very much. A number of times for entertainment, perhaps. But don’t waste all your money on it or you will immediately find yourself bankrupt.
