Online Casino Sucker Bets — Part II

  • Progressive side bets: Casino games such as Caribbean Stud Poker regularly contain one of these. You typically put a bet (a dollar is the usual value) to attempt to win a side jackpot that could reach $25,000. Though big jackpots like this are extremely alluring, they are also very difficult to win. You might need to hit a Royal Flush in order to hit this bet. Also, picture this- you play 20 hands and lay the side wager each time. That is 20 dollars you could have used towards the actual game wager instead of a sucker wager. Picture what you might have been able to win at a bet with better odds using that 20 dollars.
  • Single number wagers in Roulette: This is particularly true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has two zeroes on the wheel, as opposed to European Roulette, which has only one. This shifts the overall casino advantage from two% with one zero wheel to a huge 5percent in American. The single number wager has just a 1 in thirty eight chance of winning, which are very big odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red wagers alternately which have a much smaller house advantage.
  • Keno: Any variation of Keno, and anyway you bet on it, the casino edge can be a whopping twenty-five percent. Yes, that wasn’t a typo. Because of the large set of numbers you have to select, it isn’t advisable to gamble on Keno to often. A couple of times for fun, perhaps. But do not waste all your money on it or you’ll immediately discover yourself beaten.
