Internet Casino Sucker Bets — Part 2

  • Progressive side wagers: Games such as Caribbean Stud Poker commonly offer one of these. You usually lay a wager ($1 is the normal amt.) to try to win a bonus jackpot that could be upwards of twenty-five thousand dollars. Although huge jackpots like this are particularly appealing, they are also very hard to win. You might need to get a Royal Flush in order to succeed on this bet. Also, picture this- you wager 20 hands and make the side wager each time. That’s twenty dollars you should have used towards the actual game wager instead of a sucker bet. Picture what you might have been able to win at a wager with more favorable odds utilizing that twenty dollars.
  • Individual number wagers in Roulette: This is particularly true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has two zeroes on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has only 1. This takes the overall house advantage from 2.63percent with a single zero wheel to a huge five% in American. The individual number bet has only a one in 38 chance of winning, which are very big odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red wagers alternately which have a much lower casino advantage.
  • Keno: Any variation of Keno, and anyway you wager on it, the house edge can be a whopping 25%. Yes, that is not a error. Because of the large set of numbers you have to choose, it is not advisable to wager on Keno very much. A few times for fun, maybe. But don’t spend all your cash on it or you’ll immediately discover yourself broke.
