Progressive side wagers: Games such as Caribbean Stud Poker regularly have one of these. You generally lay a wager (a dollar is the usual amount) to attempt to win a bonus jackpot that could be upwards of twenty-five thousand dollars. Although big jackpots like these are very alluring, they are also very hard to succeed. You might have to hit a Royal Flush in order to hit this bet. Also, think about this- you play twenty hands and lay the side wager every time. That is twenty dollars you could have used towards the real game wager instead of a sucker wager. Just think about what you could have been able to win at a bet with greater odds employing that twenty dollars.
Individual number wagers in Roulette: This is particularly true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has two 0’s on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has just 1. This shifts the overall casino advantage from 2.63% with one zero wheel to a whopping 5% in American. The individual number wager has only a one in thirty eight chance of succeeding, which are very long odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red wagers instead which have a much lower casino edge.
Keno: Any variation of Keno, and anyway you bet on it, the casino edge can be a whopping 25%. No, that is not a typo. Due to the huge set of numbers you must pick, it’s not recommended to play Keno to often. A couple of times for entertainment, maybe. But don’t waste all your cash on it or you will immediately discover yourself bankrupt.
