Internet Casino Sucker Wagers — Part 2

  • Progressive side wagers: Casino games such as Caribbean Stud Poker often offer one of these. You typically lay a wager (a dollar is the normal value) to try to win a side jackpot that can reach twenty-five thousand dollars. Although huge jackpots like this are very appealing, they’re also particularly hard to win. You might need to get a Royal Flush in order to succeed on this bet. Also, think about this- you wager twenty hands and lay the side wager every time. That is $20 you should have used towards the real game wager instead of a sucker wager. Imagine what you might have been able to win at a bet with more favorable odds utilizing that $20.
  • Single number bets in Roulette: This is particularly true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has 2 zeroes on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has only 1. This takes the complete house advantage from 2.63% with one zero wheel to a huge five% in American. The one number bet has only a one in thirty eight chance of succeeding, which are very long odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red bets instead which have a much smaller casino edge.
  • Keno: Any version of Keno, and regardless of how you gamble on it, the house edge can be a huge 25%. Yes, that is not a typo. Due to the large amount of numbers you must choose, it is not advisable to bet on Keno to often. A number of times for enjoyment, maybe. But do not waste all your cash on it or you’ll quickly discover yourself beaten.
