Web Casino Sucker Bets — Part Two

  • Progressive side bets: Games such as Caribbean Stud Poker commonly have one of these. You usually place a bet ($1 is the usual amount) to attempt to win a side jackpot that could reach twenty-five thousand dollars. Though big jackpots like these are extremely alluring, they’re also very difficult to win. You might have to get a Royal Flush in order to hit this wager. Also, imagine this- you play 20 hands and lay the side bet each time. That is $20 you should have used towards the actual game bet instead of a sucker bet. Just think about what you might have been able to win at a wager with better odds using that twenty dollars.
  • Individual number wagers in Roulette: This is completely true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has two 0’s on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has just 1. This takes the complete house advantage from 2% with a single zero wheel to a huge 5.26% in American. The single number bet has only a 1 in thirty eight chance of succeeding, which are very long odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red bets as a substitute which have a much smaller house advantage.
  • Keno: Any variation of Keno, and anyway you gamble on it, the house advantage can be a huge 25%. No, that isn’t a typo. Because of the large set of numbers you must choose, it’s not recommended to bet on Keno to often. A couple of times for enjoyment, maybe. But do not waste all your money on it or you’ll immediately discover yourself bankrupt.
