Internet Casino Sucker Bets — Part Two

  • Progressive side bets: Games such as Caribbean Stud Poker often have one of these. You normally lay a wager (a dollar is the usual amount) to attempt to win a side jackpot that can be upwards of $25,000. Although big jackpots like these are extremely tempting, they’re also very hard to succeed. You would have to hit a Royal Flush in order to win this wager. Also, picture this- you play 20 hands and place the side wager each time. That is $20 you should 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 wager with better odds utilizing that twenty dollars.
  • Single number wagers in Roulette: This is especially true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has 2 0’s on the wheel, as opposed to European Roulette, which has only 1. This takes the complete casino edge from 2percent with one zero wheel to a huge 5.26percent in American. The individual number bet has only a 1 in 38 chance of winning, which are very long odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red wagers instead which have a much smaller casino advantage.
  • Keno: Any variation of Keno, and regardless of how you bet on it, the house edge can be a huge 25%. No, that isn’t a typo. Because of the huge set of numbers you have to pick, it isn’t recommended to gamble on Keno to often. A couple of times for enjoyment, maybe. But don’t spend all your money on it or you will quickly find yourself bankrupt.
