Internet Casino Sucker Bets — Part Two
Posted by Cooper on December 31st, 2015
Progressive side bets: Games like Caribbean Stud Poker often offer one of these. You normally lay a bet (a dollar is the usual amt.) to attempt to win a bonus jackpot that can reach $25,000. Although big jackpots like this are extremely alluring, they are also incredibly complicated to win. You might need to hit a Royal Flush in order to win this bet. Also, think about this- you play 20 hands and lay the side bet every time. That is $20 you could have used towards the actual game wager instead of a sucker wager. Just think about what you could have been able to win at a bet with better odds using that 20 dollars.
Individual number bets 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 one. This takes the overall house edge from 2percent with a single zero wheel to a whopping 5.26% in American. The individual number wager has just a 1 in thirty eight chance of winning, which are very long odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red bets alternately which have a much lower house advantage.
Keno: Any variation of Keno, and anyway you bet on it, the house advantage can be a whopping twenty-five percent. Yes, that is not a typo. Because of the large amount of numbers you have to choose, it is not advisable to wager on Keno to often. A number of times for fun, maybe. But do not waste all your money on it or you’ll immediately discover yourself broke.
