Web Casino Sucker Bets — Part II

  • Progressive side wagers: Casino games such as Caribbean Stud Poker regularly have one of these. You normally place a bet (a dollar is the usual value) to attempt to win a side jackpot that can be upwards of $25,000. Though big jackpots like these are extremely alluring, they are also incredibly complicated to succeed. You might need to hit a Royal Flush in order to win this bet. Also, think about this- you wager 20 hands and put the side bet every time. That’s $20 you should have used towards the actual game bet in place of a sucker wager. Just think about what you might have been able to win at a bet with better odds using that 20 dollars.
  • Single number wagers in Roulette: This is especially true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has two zeroes on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has just 1. This shifts the complete casino edge from 2percent with one zero wheel to a huge five% in American. The one number wager has just a 1 in thirty eight chance of winning, which are very long odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red bets as a substitute which have a much smaller house advantage.
  • Keno: Any variation of Keno, and regardless of how you gamble on it, the house advantage can be a whopping twenty-five percent. No, that wasn’t a error. Because of the large amount of numbers you have to pick, it is not advisable to bet on Keno very much. A couple of times for entertainment, perhaps. But do not waste all your cash on it or you will quickly find yourself broke.
