Internet Casino Sucker Wagers — Part Two
Progressive side wagers: Casino games such as Caribbean Stud Poker regularly offer one of these. You generally lay a wager ($1 is the normal value) to try to win a bonus jackpot that can be upwards of $25,000. Although big jackpots like these are extremely alluring, they’re also very hard to win. You would have to hit a Royal Flush in order to win this wager. Also, imagine this- you wager twenty hands and lay the side bet every time. That is 20 dollars you should have used towards the actual game bet instead of a sucker bet. Imagine what you could have been able to win at a wager with more favorable odds utilizing that twenty dollars.
Individual number bets in Roulette: This is especially true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has 2 zeroes on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has just 1. This shifts the complete house edge from 2.63% with one zero wheel to a whopping five% in American. The individual number wager has only a 1 in thirty eight chance of succeeding, which are very long odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red bets instead which have a much smaller house edge.
Keno: Any variation of Keno, and regardless of how you gamble on it, the house advantage can be a whopping 25%. No, that wasn’t a typo. Due to the huge amount of numbers you have to pick, it is not advisable to wager on Keno to often. A few times for entertainment, perhaps. But do not waste all your money on it or you will immediately find yourself broke.
