Progressive side bets: Games such as Caribbean Stud Poker commonly have one of these. You normally place a bet ($1 is the usual value) to try to win a side jackpot that can reach $25,000. Although huge jackpots like this are extremely alluring, they’re also particularly hard to succeed. You would need to hit a Royal Flush in order to succeed on this wager. Also, picture this- you wager twenty hands and make the side bet each time. That’s twenty dollars you should have used towards the actual game bet in place of a sucker bet. Picture what you might have been able to win at a bet with greater odds utilizing that 20 dollars.
Single number bets in Roulette: This is especially true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has two zeroes on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has only one. This shifts the complete casino edge from two% with a single zero wheel to a whopping fivepercent in American. The single number bet has just a one in thirty eight chance of succeeding, which are very long odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red bets alternately which have a much lower house advantage.
Keno: Any version of Keno, and regardless of how you bet on it, the casino advantage can be a whopping twenty-five percent. No, that isn’t a typo. Because of the huge set of numbers you must select, it is not recommended to gamble on Keno to often. A number of times for enjoyment, maybe. But do not spend all your money on it or you will immediately find yourself beaten.
