Progressive side wagers: Casino games like Caribbean Stud Poker regularly offer one of these. You usually place a wager (a dollar is the usual value) to try to win a side jackpot that can be upwards of twenty-five thousand dollars. Although big jackpots like these are extremely alluring, they’re also particularly hard to win. You might need to hit a Royal Flush in order to win this bet. Also, think about this- you play 20 hands and make the side wager each time. That’s 20 dollars you could have used towards the actual game wager in place of a sucker bet. Just think about what you could have been able to win at a bet with better odds using that twenty dollars.
Single number wagers in Roulette: This is particularly true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has 2 zeroes on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has just one. This takes the overall casino edge from two% with one zero wheel to a huge fivepercent in American. The one number wager has just a 1 in thirty eight chance of winning, which are very long odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red bets alternately which have a much lower casino advantage.
Keno: Any version of Keno, and regardless of how you gamble on it, the house advantage can be a huge twenty-five percent. Yes, that is not a error. Because of the large amount of numbers you have to pick, it isn’t recommended to bet on Keno very much. A few times for fun, perhaps. But do not waste all your money on it or you’ll immediately discover yourself beaten.
