Online Casino Sucker Bets — Part II

Saturday, 16. March 2024

  • Progressive side wagers: Games like Caribbean Stud Poker commonly contain one of these. You typically lay a wager ($1 is the normal amt.) to attempt to win a bonus jackpot that could be upwards of $25,000. Although big jackpots like this are very alluring, they’re also incredibly hard to win. You might have to hit a Royal Flush in order to win this bet. Also, imagine this- you wager 20 hands and lay the side wager every time. That’s 20 dollars you could have used towards the real game wager in place of a sucker wager. Just think about what you could have been able to win at a wager with better odds using that 20 dollars.
  • Individual number wagers in Roulette: This is especially true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has two 0’s on the wheel, as opposed to European Roulette, which has only 1. This takes the overall casino edge from 2% with one zero wheel to a whopping 5.26% in American. The one number bet has just a 1 in thirty eight chance of winning, which are very long odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red wagers as a substitute which have a much smaller house advantage.
  • Keno: Any variation of Keno, and anyway you bet 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 select, it isn’t advisable to gamble on Keno to often. A few times for enjoyment, perhaps. But do not spend all your cash on it or you’ll immediately discover yourself broke.
