Internet Casino Sucker Bets — Part Two

  • Progressive side bets: Casino games like Caribbean Stud Poker often have one of these. You usually lay a bet (a dollar is the usual amount) to attempt to win a bonus jackpot that can reach twenty-five thousand dollars. Although huge jackpots like this are particularly tempting, they are also particularly difficult to succeed. You might need to hit a Royal Flush in order to win this bet. Also, picture this- you wager 20 hands and lay the side wager every time. That’s 20 dollars you should have used towards the real game bet instead of a sucker wager. Just think about what you could 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 zeroes on the wheel, as opposed to European Roulette, which has only 1. This shifts the overall house edge from two% with a single zero wheel to a huge 5.26percent 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 alternately which have a much lower house edge.
  • Keno: Any variation of Keno, and regardless of how you gamble on it, the house edge can be a whopping twenty-five percent. No, that was not a error. Because of the large set of numbers you have to pick, it’s not recommended to wager on Keno to often. A number of times for entertainment, maybe. But do not spend all your cash on it or you will immediately find yourself broke.
