Internet Casino Sucker Wagers — Part 2
Posted by Keyon on March 4th, 2021
Progressive side wagers: Games such as Caribbean Stud Poker commonly offer one of these. You normally place a wager ($1 is the usual amount) to attempt to win a side jackpot that can be upwards of $25,000. Although big jackpots like these are very alluring, they are also very difficult to succeed. You would need to hit a Royal Flush in order to hit this wager. Also, imagine this- you play 20 hands and lay the side wager every time. That is 20 dollars you should have used towards the actual game bet instead of a sucker wager. Just think about what you might have been able to win at a bet with more favorable odds employing that 20 dollars.
Individual number wagers in Roulette: This is completely true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has 2 0’s on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has only 1. This takes the complete house advantage from twopercent with a single zero wheel to a whopping five% in American. The single number wager has only a 1 in thirty eight chance of succeeding, which are very big odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red bets instead which have a much smaller casino advantage.
Keno: Any version of Keno, and regardless of how you gamble on it, the house edge can be a huge 25%. Yes, that was not a typo. Because of the huge set of numbers you have to choose, it is not advisable to bet on Keno very much. A number of times for enjoyment, perhaps. But don’t spend all your money on it or you’ll immediately find yourself bankrupt.
