Online Casino Sucker Wagers — Part Two

  • Progressive side bets: Games such as Caribbean Stud Poker commonly offer one of these. You typically put a bet ($1 is the normal amount) to try to win a bonus jackpot that could be upwards of $25,000. Though huge jackpots like these are extremely tempting, they are also particularly hard to win. You might need to get a Royal Flush in order to succeed on this bet. Also, imagine this- you play 20 hands and lay the side bet each time. That is 20 dollars you should have used towards the actual game wager instead of a sucker wager. Just think about what you could have been able to win at a wager with more favorable odds employing that 20 dollars.
  • Individual number bets in Roulette: This is particularly true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has 2 0’s on the wheel, as opposed to European Roulette, which has only one. This shifts the complete house advantage from twopercent with a single zero wheel to a huge 5.26percent in American. The individual number wager has just a one in thirty eight chance of winning, which are very big odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red wagers as a substitute which have a much smaller house edge.
  • Keno: Any variation of Keno, and regardless of how you bet on it, the house advantage can be a huge twenty-five percent. No, that was not a error. Because of the large amount of numbers you have to select, it’s not advisable to wager on Keno to often. A few times for enjoyment, maybe. But do not waste all your cash on it or you will quickly discover yourself bankrupt.
