Online Casino Sucker Wagers — Part 2
Progressive side wagers: Games such as Caribbean Stud Poker commonly have one of these. You normally place a bet ($1 is the usual value) to attempt to win a bonus jackpot that can reach $25,000. Though big jackpots like this are particularly tempting, they’re also particularly hard to win. You would need to hit a Royal Flush in order to succeed on this bet. Also, picture this- you play twenty hands and lay the side wager every time. That’s twenty dollars you could have used towards the actual game bet in place of a sucker wager. Imagine what you could have been able to win at a wager with greater odds using that $20.
Individual number wagers in Roulette: This is completely true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has 2 0’s on the wheel, as opposed to European Roulette, which has just 1. This shifts the complete house edge from 2.63% with one zero wheel to a whopping fivepercent in American. The individual number wager has just a 1 in thirty eight chance of winning, which are very big odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red wagers as a substitute which have a much smaller house edge.
Keno: Any variation of Keno, and anyway you play it, the house edge can be a huge twenty-five percent. No, that isn’t a error. Due to the large set of numbers you must choose, it is not advisable to wager on Keno very much. A couple of times for enjoyment, perhaps. But do not waste all your cash on it or you will immediately discover yourself bankrupt.
