Internet Casino Sucker Wagers — Part 2

[ English ]
  • Progressive side wagers: Games such as Caribbean Stud Poker commonly offer one of these. You usually place a wager ($1 is the usual amt.) to try to win a bonus jackpot that can reach $25,000. Though huge jackpots like these are very tempting, they are also incredibly hard to succeed. You would need to hit a Royal Flush in order to win this wager. Also, think about this- you wager 20 hands and make the side bet each time. That is twenty dollars you should 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 more favorable odds using that twenty dollars.
  • Individual number wagers in Roulette: This is particularly true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has 2 zeroes on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has only 1. This shifts the complete house advantage from twopercent with a single zero wheel to a whopping 5% in American. The one number bet has just a one in 38 chance of winning, which are very long odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red wagers as a substitute which have a much lower casino edge.
  • Keno: Any version of Keno, and regardless of how you play it, the casino advantage can be a whopping 25%. Yes, that is not a error. Because of the huge amount of numbers you have to pick, it’s not recommended to bet on Keno very much. A number of times for entertainment, perhaps. But do not spend all your money on it or you will immediately find yourself broke.
