  • Progressive side bets: Casino games such as Caribbean Stud Poker often contain one of these. You usually place a bet ($1 is the usual value) to try to win a bonus jackpot that could reach $25,000. Although big jackpots like these are very alluring, they’re also very hard to win. You might have to hit a Royal Flush in order to win this wager. Also, picture this- you play twenty hands and lay the side bet each time. That’s twenty dollars you could have used towards the real game bet in place of a sucker bet. Imagine what you might have been able to win at a wager with greater odds employing that $20.
  • Individual number wagers in Roulette: This is particularly true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has two zeroes on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has just 1. This shifts the complete house edge from 2.63% with one zero wheel to a whopping 5.26% in American. The single number wager has only a 1 in thirty eight chance of succeeding, which are very big odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red wagers instead which have a much smaller casino edge.
  • Keno: Any variation of Keno, and anyway you bet on it, the house advantage can be a huge 25%. No, that isn’t a error. Due to the large set of numbers you have to select, it isn’t recommended to play Keno very much. A few times for entertainment, perhaps. But do not spend all your money on it or you will quickly discover yourself bankrupt.
