Net Casino Sucker Bets — Part II

April 26th, 2020 No comments
  • Progressive side bets: Casino games like Caribbean Stud Poker commonly offer one of these. You normally place a bet ($1 is the usual amt.) to attempt to win a bonus jackpot that could reach $25,000. Though huge jackpots like these are extremely tempting, they’re also very complicated to succeed. You might need to hit a Royal Flush in order to win this bet. Also, imagine this- you wager 20 hands and place the side bet each time. That is twenty dollars you should have used towards the real game wager in place of a sucker bet. Picture what you could have been able to win at a bet with more favorable odds employing that 20 dollars.
  • Single number wagers in Roulette: This is especially true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has 2 0’s on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has only one. This shifts the overall casino edge from 2.63% with a single zero wheel to a huge fivepercent in American. The one number bet has only a one in 38 chance of succeeding, which are very long odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red wagers alternately which have a much smaller casino edge.
  • Keno: Any version of Keno, and regardless of how you bet on it, the house advantage can be a huge twenty-five percent. No, that is not a error. Because of the large amount of numbers you must pick, it’s not recommended to wager on Keno very much. A few times for fun, maybe. But don’t spend all your cash on it or you will quickly find yourself beaten.
