Internet Casino Sucker Bets — Part II

  • Progressive side wagers: Casino games such as Caribbean Stud Poker regularly offer one of these. You normally put a bet ($1 is the usual value) to try to win a side jackpot that could reach twenty-five thousand dollars. Although huge jackpots like this are extremely appealing, they are also particularly difficult to succeed. You might have to hit a Royal Flush in order to succeed on this wager. Also, imagine this- you wager 20 hands and put the side bet each time. That is twenty dollars you should have used towards the real game bet instead of a sucker wager. Just think about what you might have been able to win at a wager with better odds employing that $20.
  • Individual number bets in Roulette: This is particularly true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has 2 zeroes on the wheel, as opposed to European Roulette, which has only one. This shifts the complete house edge from 2.63percent with a single zero wheel to a huge 5percent in American. The one number wager has just a 1 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 smaller house edge.
  • Keno: Any variation of Keno, and anyway you gamble on it, the house edge can be a whopping twenty-five percent. Yes, that isn’t a typo. Due to the huge set of numbers you have to pick, it is not advisable to wager on Keno very much. A few times for entertainment, perhaps. But don’t spend all your cash on it or you will immediately find yourself bankrupt.
