Online Casino Sucker Bets — Part 2

  • Progressive side bets: Games like Caribbean Stud Poker commonly offer one of these. You usually put a wager ($1 is the normal amt.) to try to win a bonus jackpot that can reach $25,000. Though huge jackpots like these are very alluring, they’re also particularly complicated to succeed. You might have to hit a Royal Flush in order to win this wager. Also, think about this- you play 20 hands and put the side bet each time. That’s 20 dollars you could have used towards the actual game wager in place of a sucker bet. Picture what you might have been able to win at a bet with greater odds utilizing that 20 dollars.
  • Individual number bets in Roulette: This is particularly true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has 2 zeroes on the wheel, as opposed to European Roulette, which has only 1. This shifts the complete house advantage from two% with one zero wheel to a huge 5% in American. The single number bet has only a 1 in 38 chance of succeeding, which are very big odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red wagers alternately which have a much smaller house edge.
  • Keno: Any variation of Keno, and regardless of how you wager on it, the casino advantage can be a huge 25%. No, that is not a typo. Due to the large set of numbers you must pick, it isn’t advisable to wager on Keno very much. A number of times for enjoyment, perhaps. But do not spend all your money on it or you will immediately find yourself broke.
