Internet Casino Sucker Wagers — Part Two
[ English ]
Progressive side bets: Games such as Caribbean Stud Poker commonly contain one of these. You usually lay a wager (a dollar is the usual amt.) to attempt to win a bonus jackpot that could be upwards of $25,000. Though huge jackpots like these are particularly appealing, they’re also very hard to succeed. You would need to hit a Royal Flush in order to win this bet. Also, think about this- you play twenty hands and make the side wager every time. That is twenty dollars you should have used towards the actual game wager instead of a sucker wager. Imagine what you might have been able to win at a wager with better odds employing that $20.
Single number wagers in Roulette: This is especially true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has 2 0’s on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has just one. This takes the complete casino advantage from 2% with a single zero wheel to a huge 5% in American. The single number bet has just a one in 38 chance of succeeding, which are very long odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red wagers as a substitute which have a much lower house edge.
Keno: Any version of Keno, and anyway you play it, the casino advantage can be a huge twenty-five percent. No, that is not a error. Because of the huge set of numbers you must select, it’s not advisable to bet on Keno to often. A couple of times for fun, perhaps. But don’t waste all your money on it or you’ll immediately find yourself bankrupt.
