Internet Casino Sucker Wagers — Part 2

  • Progressive side wagers: Games such as Caribbean Stud Poker regularly offer one of these. You normally place a wager (a dollar is the normal amount) to attempt to win a side jackpot that can reach $25,000. Although huge jackpots like this are extremely appealing, they are also incredibly complicated to win. You would have to hit a Royal Flush in order to win this bet. Also, think about this- you play twenty hands and place the side wager each time. That’s $20 you should have used towards the actual game wager in place of a sucker bet. Imagine what you might have been able to win at a bet with more favorable odds employing that twenty dollars.
  • Individual number bets in Roulette: This is completely true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has 2 0’s on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has only 1. This shifts the overall casino advantage from twopercent with one zero wheel to a huge 5% in American. The one number bet has only a one in 38 chance of succeeding, which are very big odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red bets instead which have a much smaller casino edge.
  • Keno: Any variation of Keno, and regardless of how you play it, the house advantage can be a huge twenty-five percent. No, that is not a error. Because of the huge set of numbers you must choose, it is not advisable to bet on Keno very much. A couple of times for fun, perhaps. But don’t spend all your money on it or you’ll immediately discover yourself beaten.
