Internet Casino Sucker Bets — Part 2

  • Progressive side bets: Casino games like Caribbean Stud Poker often contain one of these. You typically put a wager ($1 is the usual amount) to attempt to win a side jackpot that could reach $25,000. Although huge jackpots like these are particularly alluring, they’re also particularly complicated to win. You might have to get a Royal Flush in order to win this bet. Also, think about this- you play 20 hands and place the side wager every time. That’s 20 dollars you should have used towards the real game bet in place of a sucker bet. Just think about what you could have been able to win at a bet with better odds utilizing that $20.
  • Single number bets in Roulette: This is especially true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has two 0’s on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has only 1. This shifts the overall casino edge from 2percent with one zero wheel to a huge five% in American. The individual number bet has only a one in 38 chance of succeeding, which are very big odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red bets alternately which have a much smaller house edge.
  • Keno: Any variation of Keno, and anyway you play it, the house edge can be a huge 25%. No, that was not a error. Because of the large set of numbers you must pick, it isn’t advisable to gamble on Keno very much. A few times for enjoyment, maybe. But do not spend all your cash on it or you’ll quickly discover yourself bankrupt.
