Progressive side bets: Games like Caribbean Stud Poker often have one of these. You usually put a bet (a dollar is the normal amount) to attempt to win a bonus jackpot that could be upwards of $25,000. Although huge jackpots like this are particularly alluring, they are also particularly hard to win. You might need to get a Royal Flush in order to hit this bet. Also, picture this- you play 20 hands and place the side wager every time. That is $20 you should have used towards the actual game wager in place of a sucker bet. Just think about what you could have been able to win at a wager with better odds employing that 20 dollars.
Individual number wagers in Roulette: This is completely true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has 2 0’s on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has just one. This takes the complete house edge from twopercent with one zero wheel to a huge 5.26percent in American. The individual number bet has only a one in thirty eight chance of winning, which are very big odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red wagers instead which have a much lower house edge.
Keno: Any variation of Keno, and anyway you play it, the house advantage can be a whopping twenty-five percent. Yes, that isn’t a error. Due to the huge set of numbers you have to select, it isn’t recommended to gamble on Keno very much. A couple of times for entertainment, maybe. But don’t waste all your money on it or you will quickly find yourself beaten.
