Progressive side bets: Games such as Caribbean Stud Poker regularly have one of these. You normally put a bet ($1 is the usual amount) to try to win a side jackpot that can be upwards of twenty-five thousand dollars. Though huge jackpots like this are very appealing, they are also incredibly difficult to win. You might need to hit a Royal Flush in order to hit this wager. Also, think about this- you wager 20 hands and lay the side bet every 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.
Individual number wagers in Roulette: This is completely true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has 2 zeroes on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has just 1. This takes the overall house edge from 2percent with a single zero wheel to a whopping 5percent in American. The one number bet has only a 1 in 38 chance of succeeding, which are very big odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red wagers alternately which have a much lower casino advantage.
Keno: Any variation of Keno, and regardless of how you bet on it, the house advantage can be a whopping 25%. No, that isn’t a typo. Due to the large set of numbers you must select, it’s not advisable to bet on Keno very much. A few times for entertainment, perhaps. But don’t spend all your money on it or you will immediately discover yourself beaten.
