Online Casino Sucker Bets — Part 2
Posted by Cooper on April 1st, 2016
Progressive side bets: Casino games such as Caribbean Stud Poker often have one of these. You generally put a wager ($1 is the normal amount) to attempt to win a side jackpot that can be upwards of $25,000. Though big jackpots like these are particularly appealing, they are also particularly difficult to win. You would need to hit a Royal Flush in order to succeed on this wager. Also, think about this- you play 20 hands and place the side bet each time. That’s $20 you could have used towards the actual game wager in place of a sucker bet. Picture what you might have been able to win at a bet with greater odds utilizing that 20 dollars.
Single number wagers in Roulette: This is particularly true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has 2 zeroes on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has only 1. This takes the complete casino advantage from two% with a single zero wheel to a huge 5.26percent in American. The individual number bet has only a 1 in 38 chance of winning, which are very long odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red wagers as a substitute which have a much smaller casino advantage.
Keno: Any variation of Keno, and regardless of how you play it, the house advantage can be a whopping 25%. Yes, that was not a error. Due to the large amount of numbers you have to pick, it isn’t recommended to play Keno very much. A number of times for entertainment, maybe. But don’t spend all your money on it or you’ll immediately find yourself beaten.
