Web Casino Sucker Wagers — Part 2
[ English | Deutsch | Español | Français | Italiano ]
Progressive side wagers: Games such as Caribbean Stud Poker commonly contain one of these. You typically lay a wager (a dollar is the usual value) to try to win a bonus jackpot that can be upwards of $25,000. Although big jackpots like these are particularly alluring, they’re also particularly difficult to win. You would need to get a Royal Flush in order to hit this bet. Also, think about this- you wager twenty hands and put the side wager each time. That’s 20 dollars you should have used towards the actual game wager instead of a sucker bet. Picture what you might have been able to win at a bet with greater odds using that twenty dollars.
Single number wagers in Roulette: This is especially true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has two zeroes on the wheel, as opposed to European Roulette, which has just 1. This shifts the complete casino edge from two% with a single zero wheel to a huge 5.26percent in American. The individual number bet has just a 1 in 38 chance of succeeding, which are very long odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red bets as a substitute which have a much smaller casino advantage.
Keno: Any variation of Keno, and anyway you wager on it, the casino edge can be a whopping 25%. No, that wasn’t a typo. Because of the huge set of numbers you have to choose, it isn’t recommended to wager on Keno very much. A couple of times for fun, perhaps. But do not spend all your cash on it or you will immediately discover yourself bankrupt.
