Online Casino Sucker Wagers — Part 2

  • Progressive side wagers: Casino games such as Caribbean Stud Poker regularly contain one of these. You typically lay a bet (a dollar is the usual amount) to try to win a side jackpot that can reach $25,000. Though big jackpots like this are particularly tempting, they are also very difficult to win. You would have to get a Royal Flush in order to hit this bet. Also, think about this- you play twenty hands and place the side bet every time. That’s $20 you should have used towards the real game bet instead of a sucker wager. Just think about what you could have been able to win at a bet with better odds employing that twenty dollars.
  • Individual number wagers in Roulette: This is especially true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has 2 0’s on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has just one. This shifts the complete house advantage from 2% with one zero wheel to a whopping 5.26% in American. The individual number bet has just a 1 in thirty eight chance of succeeding, which are very long odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red bets instead which have a much lower house edge.
  • Keno: Any variation of Keno, and anyway you bet on it, the house edge can be a whopping 25%. Yes, that was not a error. Because of the large set of numbers you have to choose, it is not advisable to play Keno very much. A number of times for fun, maybe. But don’t waste all your money on it or you will quickly discover yourself beaten.
