Progressive side bets: Casino games like Caribbean Stud Poker often offer one of these. You usually place a bet ($1 is the usual value) to attempt to win a bonus jackpot that can reach twenty-five thousand dollars. Although huge jackpots like this are very tempting, they’re also very difficult to succeed. You would have to hit a Royal Flush in order to succeed on this bet. Also, picture this- you play twenty hands and place the side bet every time. That is twenty dollars you could have used towards the actual game bet instead of a sucker wager. Imagine what you might have been able to win at a wager with more favorable odds using that $20.
Individual number bets in Roulette: This is particularly true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has two zeroes on the wheel, as opposed to European Roulette, which has only one. This shifts the complete house edge from 2% with a single zero wheel to a huge fivepercent in American. The single number bet has just a 1 in 38 chance of winning, which are very big odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red wagers as a substitute which have a much lower casino edge.
Keno: Any version of Keno, and regardless of how you gamble on it, the casino advantage can be a whopping twenty-five percent. No, that is not a error. Due to the large amount of numbers you must pick, it’s not recommended to bet on Keno to often. A number of times for entertainment, perhaps. But don’t spend all your money on it or you will immediately find yourself broke.
