Online Casino Sucker Bets — Part II
[ English ]
Progressive side wagers: Casino games such as Caribbean Stud Poker often offer one of these. You normally lay a bet (a dollar is the normal value) to try to win a bonus jackpot that can reach $25,000. Though big jackpots like this are very alluring, they’re also very difficult to succeed. You would have to hit a Royal Flush in order to hit this bet. Also, think about this- you wager twenty hands and make the side wager every time. That’s twenty dollars you should have used towards the real game bet instead of a sucker bet. Imagine what you could have been able to win at a wager with more favorable odds utilizing that 20 dollars.
Single number bets in Roulette: This is particularly true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has two 0’s on the wheel, as opposed to European Roulette, which has just one. This takes the complete casino advantage from twopercent with one zero wheel to a whopping 5percent in American. The one number bet has just a 1 in thirty eight chance of succeeding, which are very long odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red bets instead which have a much smaller house edge.
Keno: Any version of Keno, and regardless of how you play it, the casino advantage can be a whopping twenty-five percent. Yes, that is not a typo. Due to the large set of numbers you have to choose, it is not recommended to play Keno very much. A couple of times for enjoyment, perhaps. But do not waste all your money on it or you will immediately find yourself broke.
