Internet Casino Sucker Bets — Part II

  • Progressive side wagers: Games like Caribbean Stud Poker commonly offer one of these. You typically put a wager (a dollar is the usual value) to try to win a side jackpot that can be upwards of twenty-five thousand dollars. Although huge jackpots like this are particularly alluring, they’re also very difficult to win. You would need to get a Royal Flush in order to win this bet. Also, imagine this- you play twenty hands and put the side bet each time. That’s twenty dollars you could have used towards the actual game wager in place of a sucker wager. Imagine what you might have been able to win at a bet with more favorable odds employing that 20 dollars.
  • Individual number bets in Roulette: This is completely true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has two zeroes on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has only one. This takes the complete casino edge from 2.63% with a single zero wheel to a huge 5percent in American. The single number bet has just a one in 38 chance of succeeding, which are very big odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red bets as a substitute which have a much lower casino edge.
  • Keno: Any version of Keno, and anyway you wager on it, the house advantage can be a huge twenty-five percent. No, that is not a typo. Due to the large amount of numbers you must pick, it is not advisable to bet on Keno to often. A couple of times for enjoyment, maybe. But don’t spend all your cash on it or you will immediately find yourself broke.
