Online Casino Sucker Wagers — Part II

  • Progressive side bets: Games such as Caribbean Stud Poker often have one of these. You generally lay a wager ($1 is the usual value) to try to win a side jackpot that can be upwards of twenty-five thousand dollars. Though huge jackpots like these are very appealing, they are also very difficult to win. You might need to hit a Royal Flush in order to succeed on this wager. Also, imagine this- you play 20 hands and make the side wager every time. That is 20 dollars you should have used towards the actual game wager in place of a sucker bet. Just think about what you might have been able to win at a wager with greater odds using that $20.
  • Single number bets in Roulette: This is especially true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has 2 zeroes on the wheel, as opposed to European Roulette, which has only 1. This takes the overall house edge from twopercent with one zero wheel to a whopping 5.26percent in American. The individual number bet has just a 1 in thirty eight chance of succeeding, which are very big odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red bets alternately which have a much smaller house advantage.
  • Keno: Any variation of Keno, and regardless of how you gamble on it, the casino edge can be a whopping twenty-five percent. Yes, that is not a error. Due to the huge amount of numbers you must select, it isn’t advisable to play Keno to often. A few times for entertainment, perhaps. But don’t spend all your cash on it or you’ll immediately find yourself broke.
