• Progressive side bets: Games such as Caribbean Stud Poker often offer one of these. You typically lay a bet (a dollar is the normal amt.) to attempt to win a bonus jackpot that can reach $25,000. Although big jackpots like these are extremely appealing, they are also very complicated to succeed. You might need to hit a Royal Flush in order to hit this wager. Also, think about this- you play twenty hands and make the side wager every time. That is $20 you should have used towards the real game bet instead of a sucker wager. Just think about what you could have been able to win at a bet with greater odds utilizing that twenty dollars.
  • Single number wagers in Roulette: This is completely true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has 2 0’s on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has just 1. This takes the overall casino edge from 2percent with a single zero wheel to a huge fivepercent in American. The individual number bet has just a one in 38 chance of succeeding, which are very long odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red wagers as a substitute which have a much lower house advantage.
  • Keno: Any variation of Keno, and regardless of how you bet on it, the casino advantage can be a whopping 25%. Yes, that is not a typo. Due to the large amount of numbers you have to pick, it’s not recommended to wager on Keno to often. A couple of times for enjoyment, perhaps. But do not spend all your cash on it or you will quickly discover yourself beaten.
