Online Casino Sucker Wagers — Part Two

  • Progressive side wagers: Games like Caribbean Stud Poker commonly have one of these. You generally place a wager ($1 is the usual value) to attempt to win a side jackpot that could reach twenty-five thousand dollars. Although big jackpots like these are extremely tempting, they are also particularly complicated to succeed. You would have to hit a Royal Flush in order to succeed on this bet. Also, think about this- you play twenty hands and lay the side bet each time. That is $20 you could have used towards the actual game bet in place of a sucker wager. Imagine what you could have been able to win at a wager with better odds utilizing that twenty dollars.
  • Individual number bets in Roulette: This is particularly true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has 2 zeroes on the wheel, as opposed to European Roulette, which has just one. This shifts the overall casino advantage from 2% with one zero wheel to a huge 5.26percent in American. The one number bet has only a one in thirty eight chance of succeeding, which are very long odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red wagers as a substitute which have a much smaller casino edge.
  • Keno: Any version of Keno, and anyway you play it, the casino advantage can be a whopping twenty-five percent. No, that isn’t a typo. Because of the huge amount of numbers you have to pick, it’s not advisable to gamble on Keno to often. A few times for enjoyment, maybe. But do not spend all your money on it or you will quickly find yourself beaten.
