Online Casino Sucker Bets — Part Two

  • Progressive side bets: Casino games like Caribbean Stud Poker regularly have one of these. You normally place a bet (a dollar is the usual amt.) to attempt to win a bonus jackpot that could be upwards of twenty-five thousand dollars. Although huge jackpots like this are particularly alluring, they are also very complicated to win. You would have to hit a Royal Flush in order to win this wager. Also, picture this- you wager 20 hands and lay the side wager every time. That is twenty dollars you could have used towards the actual game bet in place of a sucker bet. Imagine what you could have been able to win at a bet with better odds employing that $20.
  • Individual number wagers in Roulette: This is especially true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has two zeroes on the wheel, as opposed to European Roulette, which has only 1. This takes the complete casino edge from 2.63percent with one zero wheel to a whopping 5.26percent in American. The individual number wager has only a one in thirty eight chance of succeeding, which are very big odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red bets alternately which have a much smaller casino edge.
  • Keno: Any version of Keno, and anyway you bet on it, the casino edge can be a whopping 25%. Yes, that was not a error. Because of the huge set of numbers you must select, it isn’t recommended to play Keno very much. A number of times for enjoyment, perhaps. But do not waste all your money on it or you will quickly discover yourself bankrupt.
