Progressive side bets: Casino games like Caribbean Stud Poker regularly have one of these. You typically put a wager (a dollar is the usual amount) to attempt to win a bonus jackpot that could reach twenty-five thousand dollars. Although huge jackpots like these are extremely alluring, they are also very complicated to win. You would have to get a Royal Flush in order to hit this wager. Also, imagine this- you play 20 hands and place the side bet each time. That is 20 dollars you could have used towards the real game bet instead of a sucker bet. Picture what you could have been able to win at a bet with better odds utilizing that $20.
Individual number wagers in Roulette: This is especially true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has two 0’s on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has just one. This shifts the overall casino advantage from 2percent with one zero wheel to a huge 5.26percent in American. The one number bet has only a one 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 smaller casino advantage.
Keno: Any variation of Keno, and anyway you play it, the casino advantage can be a whopping twenty-five percent. No, that isn’t a error. Due to the huge amount of numbers you have to select, it’s not advisable to gamble on Keno to often. A few times for enjoyment, maybe. But do not spend all your cash on it or you’ll immediately discover yourself bankrupt.
