Web Casino Sucker Bets — Part Two

November 28th, 2020
  • Progressive side bets: Casino games like Caribbean Stud Poker often contain one of these. You generally put a bet ($1 is the normal amt.) to attempt to win a bonus jackpot that could be upwards of $25,000. Though big jackpots like this are very tempting, they are also incredibly hard to succeed. You might have to hit a Royal Flush in order to succeed on this bet. Also, picture this- you wager 20 hands and place the side bet every time. That is 20 dollars you should have used towards the real game bet in place of a sucker wager. Imagine what you might have been able to win at a bet with better odds using that 20 dollars.
  • Individual number bets in Roulette: This is particularly true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has two 0’s on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has just one. This shifts the complete casino edge from twopercent with a single zero wheel to a huge 5percent in American. The single number bet has only a 1 in thirty eight chance of winning, which are very big odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red wagers alternately which have a much smaller house advantage.
  • Keno: Any version of Keno, and regardless of how you play it, the casino edge can be a whopping 25%. Yes, that isn’t a error. Because of the large set of numbers you must choose, it’s not advisable to bet on Keno very much. A couple of times for fun, maybe. But don’t waste all your cash on it or you’ll immediately find yourself beaten.
