Internet Casino Sucker Bets — Part II

  • Progressive side wagers: Casino games like Caribbean Stud Poker regularly have one of these. You normally put a bet (a dollar is the usual value) to attempt to win a bonus jackpot that could reach twenty-five thousand dollars. Though big jackpots like these are particularly alluring, they are also particularly hard to win. You would need to hit a Royal Flush in order to hit this bet. Also, think about this- you wager twenty hands and put the side bet each time. That’s $20 you should have used towards the real game bet instead of a sucker bet. Imagine what you could have been able to win at a bet with more favorable odds utilizing that twenty dollars.
  • Single number bets in Roulette: This is completely true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has 2 zeroes on the wheel, as opposed to European Roulette, which has only one. This takes the complete casino advantage from 2% with one zero wheel to a whopping 5.26percent in American. The individual number wager has just a 1 in 38 chance of succeeding, which are very big odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red wagers instead which have a much smaller casino edge.
  • Keno: Any version of Keno, and regardless of how you play it, the house edge can be a whopping 25%. Yes, that is not a error. Due to the huge set of numbers you must choose, it is not recommended to bet on Keno to often. A few times for fun, perhaps. But don’t spend all your money on it or you’ll quickly discover yourself broke.
