• Progressive side bets: Games such as Caribbean Stud Poker often offer one of these. You normally place a bet (a dollar is the usual amt.) to attempt to win a side jackpot that can reach $25,000. Though huge jackpots like these are extremely tempting, they are also very hard to succeed. You might have to get a Royal Flush in order to hit this wager. Also, picture this- you wager twenty hands and lay the side wager each time. That’s twenty dollars you could have used towards the actual game wager instead of a sucker wager. Picture what you could have been able to win at a wager with better odds utilizing that twenty dollars.
  • Single number wagers in Roulette: This is completely true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has 2 zeroes on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has just one. This takes the overall house advantage from 2% with one zero wheel to a whopping 5.26percent in American. The single number wager has just a one in thirty eight chance of winning, which are very big odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red bets instead which have a much smaller house advantage.
  • Keno: Any version of Keno, and anyway you wager on it, the casino edge can be a huge 25%. No, that is not a error. Because of the large set of numbers you must select, it isn’t recommended to gamble on Keno very much. A few times for enjoyment, perhaps. But don’t spend all your cash on it or you will immediately discover yourself bankrupt.
