Progressive side bets: Casino games such as Caribbean Stud Poker often contain one of these. You typically put a wager (a dollar is the normal value) to attempt to win a side jackpot that can reach twenty-five thousand dollars. Although big jackpots like this are extremely tempting, they are also very difficult to succeed. You would have to hit a Royal Flush in order to hit this wager. Also, think about this- you play twenty hands and lay the side wager each time. That’s $20 you should have used towards the actual game bet in place of a sucker wager. Just think about what you might have been able to win at a bet with better odds utilizing that $20.
Single number wagers in Roulette: This is especially true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has two zeroes on the wheel, as opposed to European Roulette, which has only one. This shifts the overall casino edge from twopercent with one zero wheel to a whopping 5% in American. The single number wager has just a 1 in 38 chance of winning, which are very big odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red wagers as a substitute which have a much smaller house advantage.
Keno: Any version of Keno, and regardless of how you gamble on it, the casino edge can be a whopping twenty-five percent. Yes, that is not a typo. Because of the huge set of numbers you must choose, it isn’t recommended to wager on Keno very much. A number of times for fun, perhaps. But do not waste all your cash on it or you will quickly discover yourself bankrupt.
