Online Casino Sucker Bets — Part 2

  • Progressive side bets: Casino games like Caribbean Stud Poker often have one of these. You generally lay a wager ($1 is the usual amount) to try to win a side jackpot that can reach $25,000. Although big jackpots like this are extremely tempting, they’re also very complicated to succeed. You might have to get a Royal Flush in order to win this bet. Also, think about this- you play 20 hands and lay the side wager every time. That’s $20 you should have used towards the actual game wager in place of a sucker bet. Just think about what you might have been able to win at a wager with greater odds utilizing that twenty dollars.
  • Single number wagers in Roulette: This is particularly true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has two zeroes on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has just 1. This shifts the complete casino advantage from two% with one zero wheel to a whopping 5% in American. The single number bet has just a one in thirty eight chance of winning, which are very long odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red wagers as a substitute which have a much lower house advantage.
  • Keno: Any version of Keno, and anyway you play it, the house edge can be a whopping twenty-five percent. No, that was not a typo. Because of the huge set of numbers you must choose, it is not recommended to bet on Keno very much. A number of times for enjoyment, perhaps. But don’t spend all your cash on it or you will quickly discover yourself beaten.
