Progressive side wagers: Games such as Caribbean Stud Poker regularly contain one of these. You usually lay a bet (a dollar is the normal value) to try to win a bonus jackpot that could reach $25,000. Though big jackpots like this are particularly tempting, they are also very hard to succeed. You would have to get a Royal Flush in order to succeed on this bet. Also, picture this- you wager 20 hands and make the side bet each time. That is twenty dollars you could 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 wager with more favorable odds employing that twenty dollars.
Individual number wagers in Roulette: This is completely true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has 2 0’s on the wheel, as opposed to European Roulette, which has just one. This shifts the overall casino edge from 2.63% with a single zero wheel to a huge five% in American. The single number wager has just a one in thirty eight chance of succeeding, which are very long odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red bets as a substitute which have a much lower casino advantage.
Keno: Any variation of Keno, and anyway you bet on it, the casino edge can be a huge twenty-five percent. Yes, that is not a error. Due to the huge amount of numbers you have to select, it’s not recommended to gamble on Keno very much. A couple of times for fun, perhaps. But do not waste all your money on it or you’ll immediately discover yourself bankrupt.
