Web Casino Sucker Bets — Part II

  • Progressive side wagers: Casino games like Caribbean Stud Poker regularly offer one of these. You generally put a bet (a dollar is the usual value) to try to win a bonus jackpot that could reach twenty-five thousand dollars. Though huge jackpots like this are extremely alluring, they are also very difficult to succeed. You might need to hit a Royal Flush in order to succeed on this wager. Also, picture this- you wager 20 hands and make the side wager each time. That is $20 you should have used towards the actual game wager in place of a sucker bet. Imagine what you might have been able to win at a wager with better odds utilizing that $20.
  • Individual number bets in Roulette: This is completely true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has 2 zeroes on the wheel, as opposed to European Roulette, which has only 1. This shifts the complete casino edge from 2.63percent with one zero wheel to a whopping 5% in American. The single number wager has just a 1 in 38 chance of succeeding, which are very big odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red wagers instead which have a much smaller house advantage.
  • Keno: Any variation of Keno, and regardless of how you wager on it, the house edge can be a whopping 25%. No, that is not a error. Because of the huge amount of numbers you must select, it is not advisable to bet on Keno to often. A number of times for entertainment, maybe. But don’t spend all your cash on it or you will immediately find yourself beaten.
