Online Casino Sucker Bets — Part II

  • Progressive side wagers: Games like Caribbean Stud Poker regularly contain one of these. You usually lay a wager ($1 is the usual amount) to try to win a side jackpot that could be upwards of $25,000. Although huge jackpots like this are extremely appealing, they are also incredibly hard to succeed. You would have to get a Royal Flush in order to hit this wager. Also, imagine this- you play twenty hands and make the side wager every time. That’s twenty dollars you should have used towards the actual game wager instead of a sucker bet. Picture what you could have been able to win at a wager with better odds utilizing that $20.
  • Individual number bets in Roulette: This is completely true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has 2 0’s on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has only one. This shifts the complete casino edge from two% with a single zero wheel to a whopping 5% in American. The single number wager has only a one in thirty eight chance of winning, which are very long odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red bets as a substitute which have a much smaller house advantage.
  • Keno: Any version of Keno, and anyway you play it, the house advantage can be a whopping 25%. Yes, that isn’t a error. Because of the huge set of numbers you must select, it’s not advisable to gamble on Keno very much. A few times for enjoyment, maybe. But do not spend all your money on it or you will immediately discover yourself bankrupt.
