Online Casino Sucker Bets — Part Two
Posted by Davion on December 16th, 2015
Progressive side bets: Games like Caribbean Stud Poker commonly contain one of these. You normally place a bet (a dollar is the usual amt.) to try to win a side jackpot that can be upwards of twenty-five thousand dollars. Although huge jackpots like this are extremely tempting, they’re also incredibly complicated to succeed. You might have to hit a Royal Flush in order to succeed on this bet. Also, think about this- you wager 20 hands and put the side wager each time. That is $20 you could have used towards the actual game bet instead of a sucker bet. Just think about what you could have been able to win at a wager with better odds employing that 20 dollars.
Single number wagers in Roulette: This is particularly true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has two zeroes on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has just one. This shifts the complete house edge from 2.63% with one zero wheel to a whopping five% in American. The one number bet has only a one in thirty eight chance of winning, which are very big odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red bets alternately which have a much smaller house edge.
Keno: Any variation of Keno, and regardless of how you wager on it, the house advantage can be a whopping 25%. No, that isn’t a error. Due to the huge set of numbers you have to choose, it’s not recommended to gamble on Keno very much. A number of times for entertainment, perhaps. But don’t waste all your cash on it or you will quickly discover yourself bankrupt.
