Internet Casino Sucker Wagers — Part II

  • Progressive side bets: Games such as Caribbean Stud Poker often offer one of these. You generally place a wager (a dollar is the usual amt.) to try to win a side jackpot that can reach $25,000. Though big jackpots like this are very alluring, they’re also incredibly hard to win. You would have to hit a Royal Flush in order to win this bet. Also, picture this- you play 20 hands and make the side wager every time. That’s twenty 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 using that $20.
  • Individual number bets in Roulette: This is completely true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has 2 zeroes on the wheel, as opposed to European Roulette, which has just 1. This shifts the overall house advantage from 2.63% with one zero wheel to a whopping 5% in American. The single number bet has just a 1 in thirty eight chance of winning, which are very long odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red wagers as a substitute which have a much lower casino edge.
  • Keno: Any variation of Keno, and regardless of how you play it, the casino advantage can be a huge twenty-five percent. No, that isn’t a error. Because of the large amount of numbers you must pick, it isn’t advisable to wager on Keno very much. A number of times for fun, perhaps. But don’t waste all your cash on it or you will quickly discover yourself bankrupt.
