Internet Casino Sucker Bets — Part 2

  • Progressive side wagers: Games such as Caribbean Stud Poker often offer one of these. You normally place a bet (a dollar is the usual value) to attempt to win a side jackpot that could be upwards of twenty-five thousand dollars. Although big jackpots like these are extremely tempting, they are also incredibly hard to win. You would need to get a Royal Flush in order to hit this bet. Also, picture this- you play 20 hands and place the side bet every time. That is twenty dollars you could have used towards the actual game wager instead of a sucker bet. Imagine what you might have been able to win at a bet with better odds utilizing that $20.
  • Individual number bets in Roulette: This is particularly true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has 2 zeroes on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has only one. This shifts the complete house advantage from two% with a single zero wheel to a huge 5.26% in American. The one number wager has only a one in 38 chance of succeeding, which are very long odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red wagers instead which have a much smaller house edge.
  • Keno: Any version of Keno, and anyway you bet on it, the house advantage can be a whopping twenty-five percent. No, that wasn’t a typo. Because of the large amount of numbers you must choose, it is not advisable to gamble on Keno very much. A couple of times for entertainment, maybe. But do not spend all your cash on it or you’ll immediately discover yourself bankrupt.
