Net Casino Sucker Bets — Part Two

  • Progressive side wagers: Casino games such as Caribbean Stud Poker often contain one of these. You generally lay a wager ($1 is the usual value) to try to win a side jackpot that could reach twenty-five thousand dollars. Although big jackpots like this are extremely tempting, they’re also incredibly complicated to win. You might have to hit a Royal Flush in order to succeed on this bet. Also, picture this- you play twenty hands and lay the side wager each time. That is twenty dollars you could have used towards the actual game wager instead of a sucker bet. Picture what you could have been able to win at a wager with better odds utilizing that 20 dollars.
  • Single number wagers in Roulette: This is completely true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has 2 0’s on the wheel, as opposed to European Roulette, which has just 1. This shifts the complete casino advantage from 2.63% with one zero wheel to a huge 5% in American. The one number bet has just a one in thirty eight chance of winning, which are very big odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red wagers instead which have a much lower casino edge.
  • Keno: Any version of Keno, and regardless of how you wager on it, the house edge can be a huge 25%. Yes, that is not a error. Because of the huge amount of numbers you have to pick, it’s not advisable to wager on Keno very much. A couple of times for fun, maybe. But do not waste all your money on it or you’ll immediately find yourself broke.
