Web Casino Sucker Bets — Part Two

  • Progressive side bets: Games like Caribbean Stud Poker often contain one of these. You generally put a wager (a dollar is the normal amt.) to try to win a bonus jackpot that could reach twenty-five thousand dollars. Although huge jackpots like these are extremely tempting, they’re also incredibly hard to succeed. You would have to get a Royal Flush in order to hit this bet. Also, picture this- you wager 20 hands and place the side bet every time. That is twenty dollars you could have used towards the actual game wager instead of a sucker wager. Picture what you could have been able to win at a wager with more favorable odds employing that $20.
  • Individual number bets in Roulette: This is completely true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has 2 0’s on the wheel, as opposed to European Roulette, which has just one. This shifts the complete house advantage from 2% with a single zero wheel to a whopping 5.26% in American. The one number wager has just a 1 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 variation of Keno, and anyway you wager on it, the casino advantage can be a whopping 25%. Yes, that isn’t a typo. Because of the huge amount of numbers you must choose, it’s not recommended to wager on Keno to often. A couple of times for fun, perhaps. But do not spend all your cash on it or you’ll immediately discover yourself beaten.
