Web Casino Sucker Bets — Part Two

  • Progressive side wagers: Games like Caribbean Stud Poker often offer one of these. You generally lay a wager ($1 is the usual value) to attempt to win a side jackpot that could reach twenty-five thousand dollars. Although big jackpots like these are extremely alluring, they are also particularly hard to succeed. You might need to hit a Royal Flush in order to hit this wager. Also, imagine this- you play 20 hands and place the side wager every time. That’s twenty dollars you could have used towards the real game wager instead of a sucker bet. Just think about what you could have been able to win at a wager with more favorable odds using that 20 dollars.
  • Individual number wagers in Roulette: This is completely true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has 2 0’s on the wheel, as opposed to European Roulette, which has only one. This takes the complete house edge from 2% with one zero wheel to a whopping 5.26% in American. The individual number bet has just a one in 38 chance of winning, which are very big odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red bets instead which have a much smaller house advantage.
  • Keno: Any variation of Keno, and anyway you bet on it, the house advantage can be a whopping 25%. Yes, that isn’t a error. Due to the huge set of numbers you have to choose, it’s not advisable to wager on Keno to often. A few times for fun, perhaps. But don’t spend all your cash on it or you’ll immediately discover yourself broke.
