Online Casino Sucker Wagers — Part II

by Armani on April 7th, 2019

  • Progressive side bets: Games like Caribbean Stud Poker often offer one of these. You typically put a wager (a dollar is the normal amt.) to attempt to win a bonus jackpot that could be upwards of twenty-five thousand dollars. Although huge jackpots like these are particularly tempting, they are also incredibly hard to win. You would need to hit a Royal Flush in order to win this wager. Also, think about this- you play 20 hands and place the side bet each time. That is twenty dollars you could have used towards the real game bet in place of a sucker wager. Just think about what you could have been able to win at a wager with better odds employing that twenty dollars.
  • Individual 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 one. This shifts the overall house advantage from two% with one zero wheel to a huge 5% in American. The single number wager has only a 1 in thirty eight chance of succeeding, which are very big odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red wagers alternately which have a much smaller house edge.
  • Keno: Any version of Keno, and regardless of how you play it, the casino advantage can be a whopping 25%. No, that wasn’t a typo. Due to the huge set of numbers you must pick, it is not advisable to gamble on Keno to often. A number of times for fun, maybe. But don’t waste all your money on it or you’ll immediately discover yourself broke.
