Online Casino Sucker Wagers — Part Two

  • Progressive side wagers: Games like Caribbean Stud Poker regularly contain one of these. You generally put a wager (a dollar is the usual amt.) to attempt to win a side jackpot that could be upwards of $25,000. Although big jackpots like this are extremely tempting, they are also incredibly complicated to succeed. You would need to get a Royal Flush in order to hit this bet. Also, think about this- you play twenty hands and make the side wager each time. That’s 20 dollars you should have used towards the actual game bet in place of a sucker bet. Just think about what you could have been able to win at a wager with more favorable odds utilizing that 20 dollars.
  • Individual number wagers in Roulette: This is particularly true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has 2 zeroes on the wheel, as opposed to European Roulette, which has just one. This takes the overall house advantage from two% with a single zero wheel to a huge 5.26% in American. The individual number wager has just a one in thirty eight chance of succeeding, which are very big odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red wagers as a substitute which have a much smaller house edge.
  • Keno: Any variation of Keno, and regardless of how you play it, the house edge can be a huge 25%. No, that isn’t a typo. Due to the huge set of numbers you must choose, it is not advisable to play Keno very much. A number of times for enjoyment, maybe. But do not waste all your money on it or you’ll quickly discover yourself broke.
