Progressive side bets: Games such as Caribbean Stud Poker commonly contain one of these. You usually lay a bet (a dollar is the normal amount) to try to win a side jackpot that can be upwards of twenty-five thousand dollars. Although huge jackpots like this are very appealing, they are also particularly difficult to succeed. You would need to hit a Royal Flush in order to succeed on this wager. Also, imagine this- you wager 20 hands and place the side bet each time. That’s 20 dollars you could have used towards the real game wager instead of a sucker bet. Imagine what you could have been able to win at a bet with better odds utilizing that twenty dollars.
Individual number wagers in Roulette: This is particularly true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has 2 zeroes on the wheel, as opposed to European Roulette, which has only one. This shifts the complete house advantage from twopercent with one zero wheel to a huge five% in American. The single number wager has only a 1 in 38 chance of winning, which are very big odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red bets alternately which have a much smaller house edge.
Keno: Any variation of Keno, and anyway you wager on it, the house advantage can be a whopping twenty-five percent. Yes, that was not a typo. Because of the large set of numbers you have to select, it isn’t advisable to gamble on Keno to often. A number of times for entertainment, perhaps. But do not spend all your money on it or you’ll quickly discover yourself broke.
