Internet Casino Sucker Bets — Part II
[ English ]
Progressive side wagers: Games like Caribbean Stud Poker regularly have one of these. You generally put a wager (a dollar is the normal value) to attempt to win a bonus jackpot that could reach twenty-five thousand dollars. Although huge jackpots like this are very tempting, they are also particularly difficult to win. You might have to get a Royal Flush in order to win this wager. Also, picture this- you wager 20 hands and place the side wager every time. That is 20 dollars you should have used towards the real game wager instead of a sucker bet. Imagine what you might have been able to win at a wager with better odds utilizing that $20.
Single number wagers in Roulette: This is particularly true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has two 0’s on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has only 1. This takes the complete house advantage from 2percent with one zero wheel to a whopping five% in American. The one number bet has just a 1 in 38 chance of succeeding, which are very long odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red bets as a substitute which have a much lower casino edge.
Keno: Any variation of Keno, and anyway you gamble on it, the casino edge can be a whopping twenty-five percent. No, that wasn’t a typo. Because of the large set of numbers you have to pick, it isn’t advisable to gamble on Keno very much. A couple of times for enjoyment, maybe. But don’t waste all your money on it or you’ll quickly discover yourself beaten.
