Internet Casino Sucker Wagers — Part 2

  • Progressive side wagers: Games such as Caribbean Stud Poker regularly offer one of these. You usually lay a wager (a dollar is the usual value) to try to win a bonus jackpot that can be upwards of twenty-five thousand dollars. Though huge jackpots like this are particularly alluring, they are also particularly complicated to win. You would need to hit a Royal Flush in order to succeed on this bet. Also, imagine this- you play twenty hands and put the side wager every time. That’s twenty dollars you could have used towards the real game wager in place of a sucker bet. Imagine what you might have been able to win at a bet with more favorable odds utilizing that 20 dollars.
  • Single number wagers 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 only one. This takes the overall house edge from 2percent with one zero wheel to a whopping five% in American. The single number bet has just a one in thirty eight chance of succeeding, which are very big odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red wagers instead which have a much lower casino advantage.
  • Keno: Any version of Keno, and anyway you wager on it, the casino edge can be a whopping twenty-five percent. No, that is not a error. Due to the huge amount of numbers you have to select, it’s not advisable to gamble on Keno to often. A number of times for entertainment, maybe. But do not spend all your cash on it or you will immediately discover yourself bankrupt.
