Online Casino Sucker Wagers — Part Two
Posted by Keyon on November 27th, 2020
Progressive side wagers: Games such as Caribbean Stud Poker often have one of these. You typically put a bet ($1 is the normal amt.) to try to win a bonus jackpot that could be upwards of $25,000. Although big jackpots like this are very tempting, they are also very difficult to win. You would have to hit a Royal Flush in order to win this bet. Also, think about this- you play 20 hands and make the side wager every time. That is twenty dollars you could have used towards the real game wager in place of a sucker wager. Just think about what you might have been able to win at a wager with more favorable odds utilizing that 20 dollars.
Single number bets in Roulette: This is completely true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has 2 0’s on the wheel, as opposed to European Roulette, which has only 1. This shifts the overall casino advantage from 2.63% with one zero wheel to a huge fivepercent in American. The individual number wager has just a 1 in 38 chance of succeeding, which are very big odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red bets as a substitute which have a much smaller house advantage.
Keno: Any version of Keno, and anyway you bet on it, the house edge can be a huge 25%. Yes, that was not a typo. Due to the huge amount of numbers you must pick, it isn’t advisable to wager on Keno to often. A couple of times for entertainment, perhaps. But don’t spend all your money on it or you will quickly find yourself broke.
