Web Casino Sucker Bets — Part Two

Sunday, 28. February 2016

  • Progressive side bets: Games like Caribbean Stud Poker regularly have one of these. You normally put a wager ($1 is the usual amount) to try to win a side jackpot that can reach twenty-five thousand dollars. Though huge jackpots like these are particularly tempting, they’re also particularly difficult to win. You might need to hit a Royal Flush in order to hit this bet. Also, picture this- you wager twenty hands and lay the side bet every time. That’s twenty dollars you could have used towards the actual game wager in place of a sucker wager. Picture what you might have been able to win at a bet with better odds utilizing that twenty dollars.
  • Single number bets in Roulette: This is completely true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has 2 zeroes on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has just one. This takes the complete house advantage from 2% with one zero wheel to a huge 5% in American. The individual number bet has only a one in thirty eight chance of winning, which are very big odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red wagers alternately which have a much lower casino advantage.
  • Keno: Any variation of Keno, and regardless of how you gamble on it, the house edge can be a whopping 25%. Yes, that was not a typo. Due to the huge amount of numbers you have to choose, it’s not recommended to play Keno very much. A number of times for entertainment, perhaps. But don’t spend all your cash on it or you’ll immediately discover yourself beaten.
