Progressive side wagers: Casino games like Caribbean Stud Poker regularly have one of these. You usually lay a bet (a dollar is the normal value) to attempt to win a side jackpot that could reach $25,000. Though huge jackpots like this are very appealing, they are also incredibly complicated to succeed. You would need to get a Royal Flush in order to hit this bet. Also, imagine this- you wager twenty hands and put the side bet every time. That’s 20 dollars you should have used towards the actual game wager in place of a sucker bet. Imagine what you could have been able to win at a wager with more favorable odds employing that 20 dollars.
Single number wagers in Roulette: This is especially true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has 2 zeroes on the wheel, as opposed to European Roulette, which has only one. This takes the overall casino edge from 2percent with a single zero wheel to a whopping 5percent in American. The one number bet has just a one in 38 chance of winning, which are very long odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red wagers as a substitute which have a much lower casino edge.
Keno: Any variation of Keno, and regardless of how you wager on it, the house edge can be a huge 25%. No, that isn’t a error. Due to the large set of numbers you must choose, it isn’t advisable to bet on Keno to often. A number of times for enjoyment, maybe. But do not spend all your money on it or you will quickly find yourself bankrupt.
