Web Casino Sucker Bets — Part 2

Progressive side bets: Casino games like Caribbean Stud Poker commonly have one of these. You typically put a wager ($1 is the usual amount) to try to win a bonus jackpot that could be upwards of twenty-five thousand dollars. Although big jackpots like these are very appealing, they are also very hard to win. You might need to hit a Royal Flush in order to hit this wager. Also, imagine this- you play 20 hands and lay the side wager every time. That is 20 dollars you should have used towards the real game wager instead of a sucker bet. Imagine what you might have been able to win at a bet with more favorable odds utilizing that $20.
Individual number bets in Roulette: This is particularly true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has 2 0’s on the wheel, as opposed to European Roulette, which has only 1. This takes the complete house advantage from 2% with a single zero wheel to a huge 5% in American. The one number bet has only a 1 in thirty eight chance of succeeding, which are very big 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 regardless of how you gamble on it, the house advantage can be a whopping 25%. No, that isn’t a error. Because of the large set of numbers you must pick, it’s not advisable to play Keno to often. A couple of times for enjoyment, perhaps. But do not waste all your cash on it or you will immediately find yourself broke.
