Online Casino Sucker Bets — Part Two

  • Progressive side bets: Casino games like Caribbean Stud Poker commonly contain one of these. You usually place a bet ($1 is the normal amt.) to try to win a bonus jackpot that can reach twenty-five thousand dollars. Though big jackpots like this are particularly alluring, they are also incredibly difficult to win. You might have to hit a Royal Flush in order to win this bet. Also, imagine this- you wager twenty hands and lay the side wager every time. That’s $20 you could have used towards the real game bet in place of a sucker wager. Imagine what you could have been able to win at a bet with greater odds using that $20.
  • Single number bets in Roulette: This is especially true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has 2 zeroes on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has just one. This takes the overall casino advantage from 2.63% with a single zero wheel to a whopping five% in American. The individual number wager has only a 1 in thirty eight chance of winning, which are very big odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red bets instead which have a much smaller house advantage.
  • Keno: Any version of Keno, and regardless of how you bet on it, the casino edge can be a whopping 25%. Yes, that was not a typo. Because of the huge set of numbers you must select, it’s not recommended to play Keno to often. A number of times for entertainment, perhaps. But don’t spend all your money on it or you will immediately find yourself bankrupt.
