Online Casino Sucker Bets — Part 2

  • Progressive side wagers: Games such as Caribbean Stud Poker regularly offer one of these. You generally put a bet (a dollar is the normal amount) to attempt to win a side jackpot that could reach twenty-five thousand dollars. Though big jackpots like these are extremely alluring, they are also particularly difficult to win. You would have to hit a Royal Flush in order to win this bet. Also, imagine this- you play 20 hands and place the side bet every time. That is $20 you could have used towards the real game bet instead of a sucker wager. Just think about what you might have been able to win at a wager with more favorable odds using that twenty dollars.
  • Single number wagers in Roulette: This is particularly true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has 2 0’s on the wheel, as opposed to European Roulette, which has just one. This shifts the complete casino edge from 2.63% with a single zero wheel to a whopping 5percent in American. The single number bet has only a 1 in thirty eight chance of succeeding, which are very big odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red wagers instead which have a much lower casino edge.
  • Keno: Any variation of Keno, and anyway you play it, the casino edge can be a whopping twenty-five percent. No, that wasn’t a typo. Because of the huge set of numbers you must pick, it’s not recommended to bet on Keno very much. A few times for fun, perhaps. But don’t waste all your money on it or you will quickly discover yourself broke.
