Web Casino Sucker Wagers — Part Two
[ English ]
Progressive side wagers: Casino games such as Caribbean Stud Poker often contain one of these. You usually put a bet ($1 is the usual amt.) to try to win a side jackpot that could be upwards of $25,000. Although huge jackpots like this are very appealing, they are also particularly hard to succeed. You might have to hit a Royal Flush in order to succeed on this wager. Also, think about this- you play 20 hands and make the side wager each time. That is twenty dollars you should have used towards the actual game bet in place of a sucker bet. Imagine what you could have been able to win at a wager with more favorable odds using that $20.
Individual number wagers in Roulette: This is particularly true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has two 0’s on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has only 1. This takes the complete house advantage from twopercent with one zero wheel to a huge 5% in American. The individual number wager has only a 1 in 38 chance of winning, which are very long odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red bets alternately which have a much smaller casino edge.
Keno: Any version of Keno, and anyway you wager on it, the casino advantage can be a whopping 25%. Yes, that isn’t a error. Because of the huge amount of numbers you must choose, it isn’t advisable to bet on Keno very much. A number of times for enjoyment, perhaps. But do not waste all your cash on it or you’ll quickly discover yourself bankrupt.
