Internet Casino Sucker Wagers — Part II
[ English | Deutsch | Español | Français | Italiano ]
Progressive side wagers: Games like Caribbean Stud Poker commonly offer one of these. You normally put a bet ($1 is the normal value) to try to win a bonus jackpot that could reach twenty-five thousand dollars. Although big jackpots like this are extremely alluring, they are also particularly complicated to win. You might have to get a Royal Flush in order to win this wager. Also, imagine this- you play 20 hands and place the side bet each time. That’s 20 dollars you could have used towards the real game wager instead of a sucker bet. Just think about what you could have been able to win at a bet with better odds using that twenty dollars.
Single number wagers in Roulette: This is completely true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has 2 zeroes on the wheel, as opposed to European Roulette, which has just 1. This takes the overall house edge from two% with a single zero wheel to a whopping fivepercent in American. The one number bet has just a one in 38 chance of winning, which are very big odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red bets instead which have a much smaller house advantage.
Keno: Any variation of Keno, and regardless of how you play it, the house edge can be a whopping 25%. No, that is not a error. Because of the large set of numbers you have to choose, it is not advisable to gamble on Keno very much. A couple of times for enjoyment, perhaps. But don’t waste all your money on it or you’ll quickly discover yourself broke.
