Online Casino Sucker Wagers — Part 2

  • Progressive side wagers: Games such as Caribbean Stud Poker regularly offer one of these. You typically lay a wager (a dollar is the normal amount) to attempt to win a side jackpot that can be upwards of $25,000. Although big jackpots like this are extremely appealing, they are also particularly difficult to win. You might need to hit a Royal Flush in order to win this wager. Also, picture this- you wager 20 hands and put the side bet every time. That is 20 dollars you should have used towards the real game wager in place of a sucker bet. Imagine what you could have been able to win at a bet with greater odds using that twenty dollars.
  • Single number wagers in Roulette: This is especially true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has 2 zeroes on the wheel, as opposed to European Roulette, which has only 1. This shifts the complete casino advantage from 2.63percent with one zero wheel to a huge 5.26percent in American. The one number bet has just a 1 in 38 chance of succeeding, which are very big odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red bets instead which have a much lower casino advantage.
  • Keno: Any version of Keno, and anyway you play it, the house edge can be a whopping 25%. Yes, that wasn’t a error. Due to the huge set of numbers you have to choose, it is not advisable to wager on Keno very much. A couple of times for fun, maybe. But do not spend all your money on it or you will immediately discover yourself beaten.
