• Progressive side bets: Casino games such as Caribbean Stud Poker regularly have one of these. You normally lay a bet ($1 is the usual amt.) to try to win a side jackpot that could reach $25,000. Though huge jackpots like these are extremely tempting, they’re also particularly hard to succeed. You might need to get a Royal Flush in order to succeed on this bet. Also, picture this- you play twenty hands and lay the side bet each time. That’s 20 dollars you could have used towards the actual game bet in place of a sucker wager. Imagine what you could have been able to win at a wager with more favorable odds employing that twenty dollars.
  • Single number bets in Roulette: This is completely true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has 2 0’s on the wheel, as opposed to European Roulette, which has just 1. This shifts the overall casino edge from 2percent with a single zero wheel to a huge 5% in American. The one number wager has just a one in thirty eight chance of winning, which are very long odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red wagers instead which have a much lower house advantage.
  • Keno: Any version of Keno, and anyway you gamble on it, the house edge can be a huge 25%. Yes, that was not a error. Because of the large set of numbers you have to pick, it’s not recommended to play Keno to often. A number of times for entertainment, perhaps. But do not waste all your money on it or you’ll immediately discover yourself bankrupt.
