Progressive side wagers: Casino games like Caribbean Stud Poker regularly offer one of these. You usually put a wager (a dollar is the usual value) to attempt to win a bonus jackpot that could reach $25,000. Although huge jackpots like this are very appealing, they are also incredibly difficult to succeed. You might need to get a Royal Flush in order to win this bet. Also, imagine this- you play twenty hands and put the side bet each time. That is twenty dollars you should have used towards the actual game wager instead of a sucker bet. Just think about what you might have been able to win at a wager with better odds employing that twenty dollars.
Individual number wagers in Roulette: This is completely true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has two zeroes on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has just 1. This takes the complete house advantage from 2.63percent with one zero wheel to a whopping five% in American. The single number wager has just a 1 in 38 chance of winning, which are very long odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red wagers alternately which have a much lower house advantage.
Keno: Any variation of Keno, and anyway you wager on it, the house edge can be a huge 25%. No, that isn’t a error. Due to the huge amount of numbers you must pick, it isn’t advisable to gamble on Keno very much. A few times for entertainment, maybe. But don’t waste all your money on it or you’ll quickly discover yourself beaten.
