Progressive side bets: Casino games like Caribbean Stud Poker commonly contain one of these. You generally put a wager (a dollar is the usual amount) to attempt to win a bonus jackpot that could be upwards of $25,000. Although big jackpots like these are extremely appealing, they’re also very hard to succeed. You might have to get a Royal Flush in order to win this wager. Also, picture this- you play 20 hands and put the side bet each time. That is $20 you could have used towards the actual game wager instead of a sucker bet. Picture what you could have been able to win at a wager with better odds using that $20.
Individual number wagers in Roulette: This is particularly true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has two 0’s on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has just one. This shifts the complete casino edge from 2.63% with a single zero wheel to a whopping 5.26% in American. The single number bet has just a one in 38 chance of winning, which are very big odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red wagers instead which have a much lower house edge.
Keno: Any version of Keno, and regardless of how you play it, the casino advantage can be a whopping 25%. Yes, that isn’t a typo. Because of the large set of numbers you must choose, it is not recommended to wager on Keno very much. A couple of times for enjoyment, perhaps. But do not waste all your money on it or you will quickly discover yourself broke.
