Online Casino Sucker Wagers — Part Two

by Aiden on October 18th, 2015

  • Progressive side wagers: Casino games such as Caribbean Stud Poker regularly offer one of these. You typically put a bet (a dollar is the usual value) to try to win a side jackpot that could reach $25,000. Though huge jackpots like these are particularly appealing, they are also very hard to win. You would need to get a Royal Flush in order to win this bet. Also, think about this- you wager twenty hands and place the side bet every time. That’s $20 you could have used towards the actual game bet instead of a sucker wager. Just think about what you might have been able to win at a bet with better odds utilizing that $20.
  • Single number wagers in Roulette: This is especially true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has two zeroes on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has just 1. This shifts the complete casino edge from 2% with one zero wheel to a huge 5.26percent in American. The one number wager has only a one in 38 chance of succeeding, which are very long odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red wagers instead which have a much lower casino edge.
  • Keno: Any version of Keno, and anyway you wager on it, the house advantage can be a whopping twenty-five percent. Yes, that wasn’t a error. Due to the large set of numbers you must select, it’s not advisable to wager on Keno to often. A few times for fun, perhaps. But don’t waste all your money on it or you’ll quickly find yourself beaten.
