Progressive side wagers: Games such as Caribbean Stud Poker regularly have one of these. You typically place a bet (a dollar is the usual amt.) to try to win a side jackpot that can be upwards of $25,000. Although big jackpots like this are very appealing, they are also very difficult to win. You would have to hit a Royal Flush in order to succeed on this bet. Also, imagine this- you play 20 hands and lay the side wager each time. That is twenty dollars you could have used towards the real game wager instead of a sucker bet. Picture what you might have been able to win at a wager with greater odds using that 20 dollars.
Single number wagers in Roulette: This is completely true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has two zeroes on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has only one. This shifts the overall house advantage from 2.63% with a single zero wheel to a whopping 5% in American. The individual number wager has only a 1 in thirty eight chance of winning, which are very big odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red wagers alternately which have a much lower casino advantage.
Keno: Any version of Keno, and anyway you wager on it, the casino advantage can be a whopping twenty-five percent. Yes, that is not a typo. Due to the large set of numbers you must choose, it’s not recommended to gamble on Keno to often. A few times for entertainment, perhaps. But don’t waste all your cash on it or you will immediately find yourself broke.
