Web Casino Sucker Bets — Part II

  • Progressive side wagers: Games such as Caribbean Stud Poker regularly contain one of these. You typically put a wager ($1 is the normal value) to attempt to win a bonus jackpot that could reach $25,000. Although big jackpots like these are particularly appealing, they’re also very hard to win. You might have to hit a Royal Flush in order to win this bet. Also, imagine this- you wager 20 hands and make the side bet each time. That’s 20 dollars you should have used towards the actual game bet instead of a sucker bet. Just think about what you might have been able to win at a bet with better odds employing that twenty dollars.
  • Individual number bets in Roulette: This is especially true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has 2 0’s on the wheel, as opposed to European Roulette, which has just 1. This shifts the complete house edge from two% with one zero wheel to a whopping 5.26percent in American. The single number bet has only a 1 in thirty eight chance of winning, which are very long odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red wagers instead which have a much lower casino advantage.
  • Keno: Any version of Keno, and anyway you gamble on it, the casino edge can be a huge 25%. Yes, that is not a error. Because of the huge set of numbers you have to select, it’s not recommended to bet on Keno to often. A number of times for enjoyment, perhaps. But don’t spend all your cash on it or you’ll quickly discover yourself beaten.
