Net Casino Sucker Wagers — Part II

  • Progressive side bets: Games such as Caribbean Stud Poker regularly offer one of these. You typically put a bet ($1 is the normal value) to try to win a bonus jackpot that can reach $25,000. Though huge jackpots like these are extremely alluring, they are also very hard to succeed. You would need to get a Royal Flush in order to hit this wager. Also, think about this- you wager twenty hands and place the side wager each time. That is $20 you could have used towards the real game wager in place of a sucker wager. Just think about what you could have been able to win at a bet with more favorable odds using that twenty dollars.
  • Single number wagers in Roulette: This is completely true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has two zeroes on the wheel, as opposed to European Roulette, which has just 1. This takes the complete house advantage from 2.63percent with a single zero wheel to a huge 5.26% in American. The individual number bet has just a 1 in thirty eight chance of winning, which are very long odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red bets as a substitute which have a much lower house advantage.
  • Keno: Any version of Keno, and regardless of how you bet on it, the casino advantage can be a whopping 25%. No, that is not a typo. Due to the huge set of numbers you must choose, it isn’t recommended to wager on Keno very much. A number of times for enjoyment, maybe. But do not waste all your money on it or you’ll immediately discover yourself bankrupt.
