Progressive side wagers: Games like Caribbean Stud Poker regularly have one of these. You usually lay a wager ($1 is the usual value) to try to win a bonus jackpot that could reach twenty-five thousand dollars. Although big jackpots like this are very alluring, they are also incredibly difficult to succeed. You might have to get a Royal Flush in order to hit this wager. Also, picture this- you wager twenty hands and put the side wager each time. That’s $20 you could have used towards the actual game bet in place of a sucker bet. Just think about what you could have been able to win at a wager with better odds employing that $20.
Single number bets in Roulette: This is particularly true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has 2 zeroes on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has just 1. This shifts the complete house edge from 2% with a single zero wheel to a whopping five% in American. The single number bet has only a one in 38 chance of winning, which are very big odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red wagers alternately which have a much smaller house edge.
Keno: Any version of Keno, and regardless of how you gamble on it, the house advantage can be a huge twenty-five percent. No, that is not a error. Due to the large amount of numbers you have to choose, it is not recommended to gamble on Keno very much. A couple of times for entertainment, maybe. But don’t spend all your money on it or you will quickly discover yourself broke.
