Progressive side wagers: Casino games such as Caribbean Stud Poker regularly have one of these. You typically lay a bet (a dollar is the normal value) to attempt to win a bonus jackpot that could be upwards of $25,000. Although huge jackpots like these are very appealing, they’re also particularly difficult to succeed. You might need to get a Royal Flush in order to succeed on this bet. Also, picture this- you play 20 hands and place the side wager every time. That’s $20 you should have used towards the real game bet instead of a sucker bet. Picture what you could have been able to win at a wager with greater odds using that twenty dollars.
Single number bets in Roulette: This is especially true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has two 0’s on the wheel, as opposed to European Roulette, which has only one. This takes the overall house advantage from two% with one zero wheel to a huge fivepercent in American. The single number bet has only a 1 in thirty eight chance of winning, which are very big odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red wagers instead which have a much lower casino advantage.
Keno: Any variation of Keno, and anyway you wager on it, the house advantage can be a whopping twenty-five percent. Yes, that is not a typo. Because of the large amount of numbers you must select, it’s not advisable to bet on Keno to often. A couple of times for entertainment, perhaps. But do not waste all your money on it or you’ll quickly find yourself broke.
