Online Casino Sucker Wagers — Part II

  • Progressive side bets: Games like Caribbean Stud Poker regularly offer one of these. You normally lay a wager (a dollar is the usual amount) to try to win a side jackpot that could reach $25,000. Though big jackpots like these are extremely tempting, they are also particularly difficult to win. You might have to hit a Royal Flush in order to succeed on this wager. Also, picture this- you wager 20 hands and put the side wager each time. That is twenty dollars you could 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 employing that twenty dollars.
  • Individual number bets in Roulette: This is especially true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has two zeroes on the wheel, as opposed to European Roulette, which has only one. This takes the overall house edge from 2percent with one zero wheel to a whopping fivepercent in American. The individual number wager has only a one in thirty eight chance of succeeding, which are very long odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red wagers as a substitute which have a much smaller casino edge.
  • Keno: Any variation of Keno, and regardless of how you bet on it, the house advantage can be a huge 25%. Yes, that was not a typo. Due to the large set of numbers you must choose, it isn’t advisable to bet on Keno to often. A number of times for fun, maybe. But do not waste all your cash on it or you’ll quickly find yourself bankrupt.
