Web Casino Sucker Wagers — Part 2

  • Progressive side bets: Casino games like Caribbean Stud Poker regularly contain one of these. You typically put a wager (a dollar is the normal amt.) to attempt to win a side jackpot that could be upwards of $25,000. Although huge jackpots like this are very tempting, they are also particularly difficult to succeed. You would need to hit a Royal Flush in order to win this bet. Also, imagine this- you play 20 hands and put the side bet each time. That is 20 dollars you should have used towards the real game bet instead of a sucker wager. Picture what you might have been able to win at a wager with better odds utilizing that $20.
  • Single number wagers in Roulette: This is particularly true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has two zeroes on the wheel, as opposed to European Roulette, which has just one. This takes the overall casino advantage from two% with a single zero wheel to a whopping 5.26percent in American. The individual number wager has only a 1 in 38 chance of succeeding, which are very big odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red bets instead which have a much lower casino advantage.
  • Keno: Any variation of Keno, and anyway you bet on it, the house edge can be a whopping 25%. No, that isn’t a typo. Because of the large set of numbers you have to choose, it isn’t advisable to wager on Keno very much. A number of times for enjoyment, perhaps. But don’t spend all your money on it or you’ll immediately discover yourself beaten.
