Net Casino Sucker Bets — Part 2

  • Progressive side wagers: Games like Caribbean Stud Poker commonly have one of these. You typically put a wager (a dollar is the normal value) to attempt to win a bonus jackpot that can reach $25,000. Although big jackpots like these are particularly tempting, they are also incredibly hard to win. You might need to get a Royal Flush in order to hit this wager. Also, picture this- you wager 20 hands and make the side bet each time. That is twenty dollars you could have used towards the real game bet in place of a sucker bet. Just think about what you might have been able to win at a bet with more favorable odds utilizing that twenty dollars.
  • Single number wagers in Roulette: This is especially true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has 2 zeroes on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has only 1. This shifts the complete house edge from twopercent with a single zero wheel to a huge five% in American. The one number wager has only a one in 38 chance of succeeding, which are very big odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red bets as a substitute which have a much lower house edge.
  • Keno: Any variation of Keno, and regardless of how you play it, the house advantage can be a whopping 25%. Yes, that is not a typo. Due to the large amount of numbers you have to pick, it isn’t recommended to play Keno to often. A number of times for enjoyment, maybe. But do not spend all your cash on it or you’ll immediately discover yourself bankrupt.
