Web Casino Sucker Bets — Part Two
Progressive side wagers: Games like Caribbean Stud Poker often offer one of these. You typically lay a wager (a dollar is the usual value) to attempt to win a bonus jackpot that can reach twenty-five thousand dollars. Although big jackpots like this are particularly alluring, they’re also incredibly hard to win. You might need to get a Royal Flush in order to win this wager. Also, imagine this- you wager twenty hands and make the side bet every time. That is twenty dollars you could have used towards the actual game bet in place of a sucker bet. Just think about what you might have been able to win at a bet with better odds using that twenty dollars.
Single number bets in Roulette: This is completely true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has two 0’s on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has just 1. This shifts the overall casino advantage from 2.63% with a single zero wheel to a whopping fivepercent in American. The individual number wager has only a one in 38 chance of winning, which are very big odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red wagers instead which have a much lower casino edge.
Keno: Any variation of Keno, and regardless of how you wager on it, the house advantage can be a huge 25%. Yes, that is not a typo. Because of the large amount of numbers you must pick, it is not recommended to bet on Keno very much. A few times for fun, perhaps. But don’t waste all your money on it or you will quickly find yourself bankrupt.
