Online Casino Sucker Wagers — Part Two
Posted by Davon on September 7th, 2019
Progressive side bets: Games such as Caribbean Stud Poker often contain one of these. You generally lay a wager (a dollar is the usual value) to try to win a side jackpot that can reach twenty-five thousand dollars. Although big jackpots like these are very appealing, they’re also very hard to succeed. You would have to hit a Royal Flush in order to succeed on this wager. Also, think about this- you play 20 hands and lay the side wager each time. That’s twenty dollars you could 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 using that twenty dollars.
Individual number bets in Roulette: This is particularly true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has two zeroes on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has just one. This takes the complete house edge from two% with a single zero wheel to a whopping five% in American. The individual number wager 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 casino edge.
Keno: Any variation of Keno, and regardless of how you wager on it, the house edge can be a huge 25%. No, that is not a typo. Due to the large amount of numbers you must choose, it’s not advisable to wager on Keno very much. A number of times for enjoyment, perhaps. But do not spend all your cash on it or you’ll quickly find yourself bankrupt.
