Net Casino Sucker Bets — Part 2

  • Progressive side wagers: Games like Caribbean Stud Poker regularly offer one of these. You usually place a bet (a dollar is the usual value) to attempt to win a side jackpot that could reach $25,000. Though huge jackpots like this are extremely appealing, they are also incredibly complicated to win. You might need to get a Royal Flush in order to hit this bet. Also, imagine this- you wager twenty hands and put the side bet each time. That’s $20 you could have used towards the actual game wager instead of a sucker bet. Imagine what you could have been able to win at a wager with more favorable odds utilizing that twenty dollars.
  • Individual number bets in Roulette: This is particularly true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has 2 0’s on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has only one. This shifts the overall house edge from twopercent with a single zero wheel to a huge 5.26% in American. The single number wager has just a one in thirty eight chance of succeeding, which are very big odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red wagers as a substitute which have a much lower casino advantage.
  • Keno: Any variation of Keno, and regardless of how you bet on it, the casino edge can be a whopping 25%. Yes, that was not a typo. Due to the huge set of numbers you must pick, it is not advisable to gamble on Keno to often. A few times for fun, perhaps. But don’t spend all your money on it or you’ll quickly find yourself broke.
