Internet Casino Sucker Wagers — Part Two
Posted by Shea on December 5th, 2016
Progressive side wagers: Games such as Caribbean Stud Poker often have one of these. You typically place a bet (a dollar is the normal value) to try to win a bonus jackpot that could reach $25,000. Though huge jackpots like this are very tempting, they’re also particularly difficult to win. You would need to get a Royal Flush in order to hit this bet. Also, picture this- you play 20 hands and make the side bet each time. That’s $20 you could have used towards the real game bet in place of a sucker wager. Imagine what you could have been able to win at a wager with more favorable odds using that 20 dollars.
Individual number wagers in Roulette: This is especially true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has 2 zeroes on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has just 1. This shifts the complete house edge from 2.63percent with one zero wheel to a whopping 5% in American. The one number bet has only a 1 in thirty eight chance of winning, which are very big odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red bets as a substitute which have a much lower house edge.
Keno: Any variation of Keno, and anyway you play it, the casino edge can be a huge twenty-five percent. Yes, that isn’t a typo. Due to the huge set of numbers you must select, it isn’t recommended to wager on Keno very much. A few times for entertainment, maybe. But don’t spend all your cash on it or you’ll quickly discover yourself broke.
