Online Casino Sucker Wagers — Part II

[ English ]
  • Progressive side wagers: Games such as Caribbean Stud Poker commonly have one of these. You typically put a bet ($1 is the usual amount) to try to win a side jackpot that could be upwards of twenty-five thousand dollars. Though big jackpots like these are particularly tempting, they’re also incredibly difficult to succeed. You would need to hit a Royal Flush in order to win this wager. Also, imagine this- you wager 20 hands and place the side bet each time. That’s $20 you could have used towards the actual game bet in place of a sucker bet. Just think about what you could have been able to win at a bet with more favorable odds utilizing that twenty dollars.
  • Single number bets in Roulette: This is particularly true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has 2 0’s on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has just 1. This takes the overall casino edge from 2% with one zero wheel to a huge 5.26% in American. The one number bet has just a 1 in thirty eight chance of winning, which are very long odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red bets instead which have a much lower house edge.
  • Keno: Any version of Keno, and anyway you bet on it, the house advantage can be a whopping 25%. No, that wasn’t a typo. Because of the huge set of numbers you must select, it’s not recommended to play Keno very much. A number of times for enjoyment, maybe. But don’t spend all your money on it or you’ll immediately find yourself bankrupt.
