Web Casino Sucker Bets — Part II
Posted by Keyon on December 3rd, 2020
Progressive side bets: Games like Caribbean Stud Poker commonly have one of these. You generally lay a bet ($1 is the usual amt.) to try to win a bonus jackpot that could be upwards of twenty-five thousand dollars. Although huge jackpots like this are very alluring, they are also very hard to succeed. You would need to hit a Royal Flush in order to succeed on this bet. Also, picture this- you wager 20 hands and lay the side wager every time. That is $20 you could have used towards the actual game bet instead of a sucker wager. Picture what you might have been able to win at a wager with greater odds using that $20.
Single number wagers in Roulette: This is particularly true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has 2 0’s on the wheel, as opposed to European Roulette, which has just 1. This shifts the complete house advantage from 2.63% with a single zero wheel to a whopping fivepercent in American. The single number wager has just a one in 38 chance of succeeding, which are very big odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red bets alternately which have a much smaller house edge.
Keno: Any version of Keno, and anyway you bet on it, the casino advantage can be a whopping 25%. No, that isn’t a error. Because of the huge set of numbers you must select, it isn’t recommended to wager on Keno to often. A number of times for entertainment, perhaps. But don’t waste all your cash on it or you will quickly discover yourself beaten.
