Net Casino Sucker Bets — Part 2

  • Progressive side wagers: Games like Caribbean Stud Poker often offer one of these. You normally place a bet (a dollar is the normal amt.) to attempt to win a side jackpot that could be upwards of twenty-five thousand dollars. Though big jackpots like this are very appealing, they are also incredibly complicated to succeed. You might have to hit a Royal Flush in order to win this wager. Also, think about this- you play 20 hands and make the side wager each time. That’s $20 you should have used towards the actual game wager in place of a sucker bet. Picture what you could have been able to win at a wager with better odds employing that $20.
  • Single number wagers in Roulette: This is completely true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has two zeroes on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has only one. This shifts the overall casino advantage from two% with one zero wheel to a whopping fivepercent in American. The one number bet has just a one in thirty eight chance of succeeding, which are very big odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red wagers alternately which have a much smaller casino advantage.
  • Keno: Any variation of Keno, and regardless of how you wager on it, the casino edge can be a huge 25%. No, that wasn’t a typo. Due to the huge amount of numbers you have to pick, it’s not recommended to bet on Keno to often. A number of times for entertainment, perhaps. But do not waste all your money on it or you will immediately discover yourself bankrupt.
