Internet Casino Sucker Bets — Part Two

  • Progressive side bets: Games like Caribbean Stud Poker regularly have one of these. You typically put a bet (a dollar is the usual amount) to attempt to win a bonus jackpot that could reach $25,000. Though huge jackpots like this are very alluring, they’re also particularly complicated to succeed. You would need to get a Royal Flush in order to succeed on this bet. Also, think about this- you wager 20 hands and place the side bet each time. That is 20 dollars you could have used towards the actual game bet instead of a sucker bet. Picture what you could have been able to win at a bet with more favorable odds using that twenty dollars.
  • Individual number wagers in Roulette: This is especially true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has 2 0’s on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has only 1. This takes the complete house advantage from twopercent with a single zero wheel to a whopping fivepercent in American. The individual number wager has only a 1 in 38 chance of succeeding, which are very long odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red wagers as a substitute which have a much smaller house edge.
  • Keno: Any variation of Keno, and regardless of how you wager on it, the casino edge can be a whopping 25%. Yes, that is not a error. Due to the large amount of numbers you must choose, it is not recommended to play Keno very much. A few times for entertainment, maybe. But do not waste all your cash on it or you’ll immediately find yourself broke.
