Online Casino Sucker Wagers — Part 2

  • Progressive side bets: Games such as Caribbean Stud Poker often contain one of these. You typically lay a bet ($1 is the normal amt.) to try to win a side jackpot that could be upwards of $25,000. Although big jackpots like these are extremely tempting, they are also incredibly difficult to win. You would have to get a Royal Flush in order to succeed on this wager. Also, think about this- you wager 20 hands and place the side bet each time. That’s $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 bet with better odds utilizing that twenty dollars.
  • Single number bets in Roulette: This is particularly true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has two zeroes on the wheel, as opposed to European Roulette, which has only 1. This shifts the overall casino advantage from 2.63percent with one zero wheel to a whopping 5% in American. The single number bet has just a one in thirty eight chance of succeeding, which are very long odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red wagers alternately which have a much lower house edge.
  • Keno: Any version of Keno, and anyway you bet on it, the house edge can be a huge twenty-five percent. Yes, that isn’t a typo. Due to the huge set of numbers you have to pick, it isn’t advisable to bet on Keno very much. A number of times for entertainment, perhaps. But do not waste all your money on it or you’ll quickly discover yourself broke.
