Online Casino Sucker Wagers — Part II

Progressive side bets: Games such as Caribbean Stud Poker commonly contain one of these. You generally place a wager (a dollar is the usual amount) to try to win a bonus jackpot that could be upwards of $25,000. Although big jackpots like this are particularly alluring, they’re also very difficult to succeed. You would need to hit a Royal Flush in order to hit this bet. Also, think about this- you wager twenty hands and lay the side bet every time. That’s 20 dollars you could have used towards the actual game wager in place of a sucker bet. Imagine what you might have been able to win at a bet with better odds employing that $20.
Individual number wagers in Roulette: This is especially true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has 2 zeroes on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has just one. This takes the complete casino edge from two% with one zero wheel to a whopping 5% in American. The one number bet has only a 1 in 38 chance of succeeding, which are very big odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red wagers instead which have a much lower casino edge.
Keno: Any version of Keno, and anyway you play it, the house edge can be a whopping twenty-five percent. Yes, that isn’t a typo. Because of the large amount of numbers you must select, it’s not recommended to play Keno very much. A number of times for fun, perhaps. But do not spend all your money on it or you will immediately find yourself beaten.
