Web Casino Sucker Bets — Part Two

  • Progressive side bets: Games like Caribbean Stud Poker often have one of these. You normally lay a bet ($1 is the normal value) to try to win a bonus jackpot that can reach $25,000. Although huge jackpots like this are particularly appealing, they’re also particularly difficult to win. You might have to hit a Royal Flush in order to hit this bet. Also, picture this- you wager 20 hands and lay the side wager every time. That’s 20 dollars you could have used towards the actual game bet in place of a sucker bet. Imagine what you might have been able to win at a wager with better odds using that twenty dollars.
  • Individual 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 just one. This shifts the overall casino advantage from 2% with a single zero wheel to a huge 5% in American. The single number wager has only a one in thirty eight chance of succeeding, which are very big odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red bets as a substitute which have a much lower casino edge.
  • Keno: Any variation of Keno, and anyway you play it, the casino advantage can be a whopping twenty-five percent. Yes, that isn’t a error. Due to the large set of numbers you must select, it is not recommended to bet on Keno very much. A couple of times for fun, maybe. But don’t waste all your money on it or you’ll immediately find yourself broke.
