Internet Casino Sucker Wagers — Part 2

Thursday, 25. March 2021

  • Progressive side wagers: Games such as Caribbean Stud Poker often offer one of these. You usually place a bet (a dollar is the usual value) to try to win a side jackpot that could reach $25,000. Although big jackpots like these are particularly alluring, they’re also very difficult to succeed. You would have to hit a Royal Flush in order to succeed on this bet. Also, picture this- you wager 20 hands and make the side bet every time. That’s twenty dollars you could have used towards the real game bet in place of a sucker bet. Imagine what you might have been able to win at a bet with more favorable odds utilizing that $20.
  • Single 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 just 1. This shifts the overall house advantage from 2.63percent with one zero wheel to a huge 5.26percent in American. The single number wager has just a one in thirty eight chance of winning, which are very long odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red wagers instead which have a much lower house advantage.
  • Keno: Any variation of Keno, and anyway you wager on it, the house edge can be a huge 25%. No, that was not a error. Due to the large amount of numbers you have to select, it isn’t advisable to gamble on Keno very much. A few times for fun, maybe. But don’t waste all your cash on it or you’ll immediately find yourself broke.
