  • Progressive side wagers: Games like Caribbean Stud Poker often have one of these. You usually lay a wager ($1 is the usual value) to try to win a bonus jackpot that could reach twenty-five thousand dollars. Although big jackpots like these are very alluring, they’re also particularly difficult to succeed. You would need to hit a Royal Flush in order to succeed on this bet. Also, think about this- you play twenty hands and lay the side bet every time. That’s twenty dollars you should have used towards the real game wager in place of a sucker wager. Just think about what you might have been able to win at a wager with better odds using that twenty dollars.
  • Single number bets in Roulette: This is completely true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has two zeroes on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has just one. This shifts the overall house advantage from 2.63% with one zero wheel to a huge fivepercent in American. The single number bet has only 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 twenty-five percent. No, that isn’t a typo. Due to the large amount of numbers you have to select, it isn’t advisable to bet on Keno to often. A number of times for entertainment, maybe. But don’t spend all your cash on it or you’ll immediately find yourself bankrupt.
