Web Casino Sucker Wagers — Part 2

  • Progressive side bets: Games such as Caribbean Stud Poker commonly have one of these. You normally place a bet (a dollar is the usual value) to try to win a side jackpot that could be upwards of twenty-five thousand dollars. Though huge jackpots like these are particularly appealing, they are also very difficult to succeed. You would have to hit a Royal Flush in order to win this wager. Also, picture this- you wager 20 hands and put the side bet every time. That is $20 you should have used towards the real game wager instead of a sucker bet. Imagine what you might have been able to win at a wager with better odds using that twenty dollars.
  • Single number bets 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 one. This shifts the complete house edge from 2percent with one zero wheel to a huge fivepercent in American. The single number bet has only a 1 in 38 chance of winning, which are very long odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red wagers alternately which have a much smaller casino advantage.
  • Keno: Any variation of Keno, and regardless of how you gamble on it, the house advantage can be a whopping twenty-five percent. No, that is not a error. Due to the large amount of numbers you have to pick, it is not recommended to wager on Keno very much. A couple of times for enjoyment, maybe. But do not waste all your money on it or you will quickly find yourself beaten.
