Internet Casino Sucker Bets — Part II

  • Progressive side bets: Casino games such as Caribbean Stud Poker regularly have one of these. You usually lay a bet (a dollar is the usual amount) to try to win a side jackpot that could be upwards of $25,000. Although huge jackpots like this are very appealing, they’re also particularly difficult to win. You might need to get a Royal Flush in order to succeed on this wager. Also, imagine this- you play twenty hands and place the side wager every time. That’s 20 dollars you should have used towards the actual game wager instead of a sucker wager. Picture what you could have been able to win at a bet with more favorable odds utilizing that 20 dollars.
  • Individual number bets in Roulette: This is particularly true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has two 0’s on the wheel, as opposed to European Roulette, which has just one. This shifts the overall house edge from 2.63% with a single zero wheel to a huge five% in American. The single number wager has only a one in thirty eight chance of winning, which are very long odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red wagers instead which have a much lower house advantage.
  • Keno: Any version of Keno, and anyway you play it, the casino edge can be a huge twenty-five percent. Yes, that isn’t a typo. Because of the large set of numbers you have to pick, it is not recommended to play Keno very much. A number of times for enjoyment, maybe. But do not waste all your cash on it or you’ll immediately find yourself broke.
