Online Casino Sucker Bets — Part II

[ English ]
  • Progressive side bets: Games like Caribbean Stud Poker regularly have one of these. You normally lay a wager (a dollar is the normal value) to try to win a side jackpot that can reach $25,000. Though huge jackpots like this are particularly appealing, they are also incredibly difficult to win. You would have to get a Royal Flush in order to win this bet. Also, imagine this- you play twenty hands and place the side bet every time. That is twenty dollars you could have used towards the actual game wager in place of a sucker wager. Imagine what you might have been able to win at a wager with more favorable odds utilizing that $20.
  • Individual number bets in Roulette: This is especially true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has 2 0’s on the wheel, as opposed to European Roulette, which has just one. This takes the overall casino advantage from twopercent with one zero wheel to a huge five% in American. The one number bet has only a 1 in thirty eight chance of succeeding, which are very long odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red wagers instead which have a much smaller house advantage.
  • Keno: Any version of Keno, and anyway you play it, the casino advantage can be a whopping 25%. Yes, that wasn’t a typo. Because of the huge set of numbers you must choose, it isn’t recommended to bet on Keno to often. A few times for enjoyment, maybe. But do not waste all your money on it or you’ll immediately discover yourself beaten.
