Online Casino Sucker Wagers — Part Two

  • Progressive side bets: Games like Caribbean Stud Poker often have one of these. You typically lay a wager ($1 is the normal value) to attempt to win a side jackpot that could be upwards of twenty-five thousand dollars. Although huge jackpots like these are particularly tempting, they’re also very difficult to succeed. You would need to get a Royal Flush in order to win this bet. Also, picture this- you play twenty hands and place the side bet each time. That’s $20 you should have used towards the real game wager instead of a sucker bet. Imagine what you might have been able to win at a bet with better odds using that 20 dollars.
  • Single number bets in Roulette: This is especially true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has 2 0’s on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has only one. This shifts the complete casino edge from 2.63percent with one zero wheel to a whopping 5.26percent in American. The one number wager has only a one in thirty eight chance of succeeding, which are very big odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red bets as a substitute which have a much lower house advantage.
  • Keno: Any version of Keno, and anyway you gamble on it, the house advantage can be a huge 25%. Yes, that wasn’t a typo. Due to the large set of numbers you have to pick, it is not advisable to gamble on Keno to often. A number of times for entertainment, perhaps. But do not spend all your cash on it or you’ll immediately find yourself bankrupt.
