Internet Casino Sucker Wagers — Part Two

[ English | Deutsch | Español | Français | Italiano ]
  • Progressive side wagers: Games such as Caribbean Stud Poker regularly have one of these. You normally put a wager ($1 is the normal amount) to attempt to win a bonus jackpot that can be upwards of $25,000. Though huge jackpots like these are extremely tempting, they are also particularly hard to succeed. You would have to hit a Royal Flush in order to win this wager. Also, think about this- you play twenty hands and lay the side wager every time. That’s twenty dollars you could have used towards the actual game wager instead of a sucker wager. Picture what you could have been able to win at a bet with more favorable odds employing that 20 dollars.
  • Individual number wagers in Roulette: This is completely true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has two zeroes on the wheel, as opposed to European Roulette, which has just one. This takes the complete casino advantage from 2.63% with one zero wheel to a whopping 5% in American. The one number bet has only a one in 38 chance of winning, which are very big odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red bets instead which have a much lower house advantage.
  • Keno: Any version of Keno, and regardless of how you play it, the casino edge can be a whopping 25%. Yes, that was not a error. Due to the huge amount of numbers you have to select, it is not advisable to play Keno very much. A few times for enjoyment, maybe. But do not waste all your money on it or you’ll immediately discover yourself bankrupt.
