Net Casino Sucker Bets — Part Two

  • Progressive side wagers: Casino games such as Caribbean Stud Poker often have one of these. You generally place a wager (a dollar is the usual value) to try to win a side jackpot that could be upwards of twenty-five thousand dollars. Though huge jackpots like these are very appealing, they’re also very complicated to succeed. You might have to hit a Royal Flush in order to hit this wager. Also, think about this- you play twenty hands and place the side bet each time. That is 20 dollars you should have used towards the real game bet in place of a sucker bet. Picture what you could have been able to win at a bet with better odds utilizing that twenty dollars.
  • Single number wagers in Roulette: This is especially true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has 2 0’s on the wheel, as opposed to European Roulette, which has just one. This shifts the overall casino advantage from twopercent with one zero wheel to a whopping 5percent in American. The individual number bet has only a one in 38 chance of succeeding, which are very big odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red wagers instead which have a much lower house edge.
  • Keno: Any variation of Keno, and regardless of how you bet on it, the casino edge can be a huge 25%. Yes, that isn’t a typo. Due to the huge amount of numbers you must pick, it’s not recommended to play Keno very much. A number of times for entertainment, maybe. But don’t spend all your money on it or you will quickly discover yourself bankrupt.
