  • Progressive side wagers: Games such as Caribbean Stud Poker often contain one of these. You typically put a wager ($1 is the usual amt.) to try to win a bonus jackpot that can reach $25,000. Although huge jackpots like these are very tempting, they’re also very complicated to succeed. You would have to hit a Royal Flush in order to win this bet. Also, picture this- you wager twenty hands and lay the side wager each time. That’s twenty dollars you could have used towards the real game bet in place of a sucker bet. Just think about what you could have been able to win at a wager with greater odds employing that $20.
  • Individual number wagers in Roulette: This is especially true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has two 0’s on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has only 1. This takes the complete house advantage from 2percent with one zero wheel to a huge 5percent in American. The one number bet has just a one in thirty eight chance of winning, which are very big odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red bets instead which have a much smaller casino advantage.
  • Keno: Any variation of Keno, and anyway you play it, the house advantage can be a huge 25%. Yes, that wasn’t a typo. Because of the huge set of numbers you have to choose, it’s not advisable to play Keno very much. A few times for enjoyment, maybe. But don’t waste all your cash on it or you’ll quickly find yourself broke.
