  • Progressive side wagers: Casino games like Caribbean Stud Poker regularly offer one of these. You typically place a wager ($1 is the usual amount) to try to win a side jackpot that could be upwards of twenty-five thousand dollars. Although huge jackpots like these are very alluring, they’re also particularly complicated to succeed. You might need to get a Royal Flush in order to win this wager. Also, think about this- you play twenty hands and place the side bet every time. That’s 20 dollars you should have used towards the real game wager instead of a sucker bet. Imagine what you might have been able to win at a wager with greater odds utilizing that twenty dollars.
  • Single number wagers in Roulette: This is especially true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has two zeroes on the wheel, as opposed to European Roulette, which has just 1. This takes the overall casino edge from 2.63% with a single zero wheel to a whopping 5.26% in American. The one number wager has just a 1 in thirty eight chance of succeeding, which are very long 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 wager on it, the casino edge can be a whopping 25%. No, that isn’t a typo. Because of the huge set of numbers you have to pick, it isn’t advisable to wager on Keno very much. A number of times for entertainment, perhaps. But do not spend all your money on it or you will quickly discover yourself beaten.
