Web Casino Sucker Bets — Part 2

  • Progressive side wagers: Casino games such as Caribbean Stud Poker commonly have one of these. You generally place a wager (a dollar is the usual amt.) to try to win a bonus jackpot that could reach $25,000. Although big jackpots like these are particularly alluring, they’re also very complicated to succeed. You might need to get a Royal Flush in order to succeed on this bet. Also, think about this- you wager 20 hands and place the side bet each time. That is twenty dollars you could have used towards the actual game bet in place of a sucker bet. Just think about what you could have been able to win at a wager with greater odds employing that 20 dollars.
  • Individual number wagers in Roulette: This is completely true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has two zeroes on the wheel, as opposed to European Roulette, which has only 1. This takes the overall house edge from twopercent with a single zero wheel to a huge 5.26% in American. The single number wager has only a one in thirty eight chance of succeeding, which are very long odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red bets as a substitute which have a much lower casino advantage.
  • Keno: Any version of Keno, and regardless of how you bet on it, the house advantage can be a huge 25%. Yes, that isn’t a typo. Because of the large set of numbers you have to choose, it is not recommended to play Keno to often. A couple of times for entertainment, maybe. But don’t spend all your money on it or you will quickly discover yourself bankrupt.
