Online Casino Sucker Wagers — Part Two

  • Progressive side wagers: Casino games like Caribbean Stud Poker commonly offer one of these. You typically lay a bet ($1 is the usual amount) to try to win a side jackpot that could be upwards of twenty-five thousand dollars. Though huge jackpots like this are particularly tempting, they are also very difficult to win. You might have to hit a Royal Flush in order to win this bet. Also, imagine this- you play twenty hands and lay the side bet each time. That is 20 dollars you should have used towards the real game wager in place of a sucker bet. Just think about what you might have been able to win at a wager with greater odds using that 20 dollars.
  • Individual number wagers in Roulette: This is completely true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has two zeroes on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has only one. This shifts the complete house edge from twopercent with a single zero wheel to a huge 5.26% in American. The individual number wager has only a 1 in 38 chance of succeeding, which are very big odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red bets instead which have a much lower casino edge.
  • Keno: Any version of Keno, and anyway you gamble on it, the house edge can be a huge twenty-five percent. No, that is not a typo. Due to the large amount of numbers you must pick, it is not advisable to bet on Keno to often. A couple of times for entertainment, perhaps. But don’t spend all your money on it or you’ll quickly discover yourself beaten.
