Internet Casino Sucker Bets — Part 2

  • Progressive side wagers: Casino games like Caribbean Stud Poker commonly contain one of these. You generally place a bet ($1 is the normal value) to try to win a side jackpot that can reach $25,000. Although big jackpots like this are particularly alluring, they are also incredibly complicated to win. You might have to hit a Royal Flush in order to hit this wager. Also, picture this- you play twenty hands and lay the side wager each time. That is twenty dollars you should have used towards the real game wager instead of a sucker wager. Imagine what you could have been able to win at a wager with greater odds employing that $20.
  • Individual number wagers in Roulette: This is completely true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has 2 0’s on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has just 1. This shifts the overall house edge from 2.63% with one zero wheel to a whopping 5% in American. The single number bet has just a one in 38 chance of winning, which are very long odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red wagers instead which have a much lower casino advantage.
  • Keno: Any version of Keno, and anyway you wager on it, the house edge can be a huge 25%. No, that is not a error. Due to the large amount of numbers you have to pick, it isn’t advisable to gamble on Keno to often. A number of times for entertainment, perhaps. But do not waste all your money on it or you will immediately find yourself bankrupt.
