Net Casino Sucker Bets — Part II

  • Progressive side bets: Casino games like Caribbean Stud Poker commonly have one of these. You generally put a bet (a dollar is the normal amount) to attempt to win a side jackpot that can be upwards of $25,000. Though big jackpots like these are particularly tempting, they are also very difficult to win. You would need to hit a Royal Flush in order to hit this bet. Also, picture this- you wager 20 hands and make the side wager every time. That is twenty dollars you should have used towards the real game bet instead of a sucker bet. Imagine what you could have been able to win at a wager with greater odds using that $20.
  • Individual number bets in Roulette: This is completely true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has 2 0’s on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has just 1. This shifts the complete casino advantage from two% with a single zero wheel to a whopping 5.26percent in American. The single number wager has just a one in thirty eight chance of succeeding, which are very long odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red bets instead which have a much lower house advantage.
  • Keno: Any variation of Keno, and anyway you gamble on it, the casino advantage can be a huge 25%. No, that is not a typo. Because of the large set of numbers you have to pick, it is not advisable to play Keno to often. A couple of times for enjoyment, maybe. But do not spend all your money on it or you’ll quickly discover yourself bankrupt.
