  • Progressive side wagers: Games such as Caribbean Stud Poker regularly contain one of these. You generally put a wager ($1 is the normal amount) to attempt to win a side jackpot that can reach $25,000. Though huge jackpots like these are very tempting, they are also very complicated to succeed. You would need to get a Royal Flush in order to succeed on this wager. Also, picture this- you play 20 hands and place the side wager every time. That is twenty dollars you could have used towards the real game wager in place of a sucker bet. Picture what you might have been able to win at a wager with greater odds utilizing that 20 dollars.
  • Individual number wagers in Roulette: This is especially true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has 2 zeroes on the wheel, as opposed to European Roulette, which has just one. This shifts the complete casino edge from 2% with one zero wheel to a whopping fivepercent in American. The single number wager has just a 1 in 38 chance of winning, which are very long odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red wagers alternately which have a much lower house edge.
  • Keno: Any variation of Keno, and anyway you bet on it, the casino edge can be a huge twenty-five percent. Yes, that is not a typo. Because of the large set of numbers you must pick, it isn’t recommended to wager on Keno to often. A few times for enjoyment, perhaps. But do not spend all your money on it or you’ll immediately discover yourself broke.
