Net Casino Sucker Bets — Part 2

  • Progressive side wagers: Games such as Caribbean Stud Poker regularly have one of these. You typically place a bet (a dollar is the usual amount) to try to win a side jackpot that could reach twenty-five thousand dollars. Though big jackpots like these are very appealing, they are also particularly hard to win. You might need to get a Royal Flush in order to win this bet. Also, picture this- you wager 20 hands and make the side bet every time. That’s twenty dollars you could have used towards the real game bet in place of a sucker bet. Imagine what you could have been able to win at a bet with more favorable 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 only one. This shifts the overall house edge from 2% with one zero wheel to a huge 5% in American. The individual number bet has just a one in thirty eight chance of winning, which are very big odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red bets as a substitute which have a much lower casino edge.
  • Keno: Any version of Keno, and regardless of how you gamble on it, the casino edge can be a huge twenty-five percent. No, that is not a typo. Due to the huge amount of numbers you must pick, it is not recommended to wager on Keno to often. A few times for enjoyment, maybe. But don’t waste all your cash on it or you’ll quickly discover yourself broke.
