Web Casino Sucker Bets — Part Two

  • Progressive side wagers: Casino games like Caribbean Stud Poker often contain one of these. You usually put a bet ($1 is the usual amount) to try to win a side jackpot that could reach $25,000. Though big jackpots like this are particularly appealing, they’re also incredibly hard to succeed. You might have to hit a Royal Flush in order to hit this wager. Also, picture this- you play 20 hands and lay the side bet each time. That is twenty dollars you should have used towards the real game bet instead of a sucker wager. Picture what you might have been able to win at a wager with greater odds employing that 20 dollars.
  • Single number wagers in Roulette: This is particularly true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has two zeroes on the wheel, as opposed to European Roulette, which has only 1. This shifts the overall house advantage from 2% with a single zero wheel to a huge 5.26% in American. The one number bet has just a 1 in 38 chance of succeeding, which are very long odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red wagers instead which have a much smaller house edge.
  • Keno: Any variation of Keno, and regardless of how you gamble on it, the casino edge can be a huge twenty-five percent. No, that isn’t a typo. Because of the large amount of numbers you have to select, it isn’t recommended to bet on Keno very much. A number of times for entertainment, maybe. But don’t spend all your cash on it or you’ll immediately discover yourself beaten.
