Net Casino Sucker Bets — Part 2
Posted by Shea on October 20th, 2017
Progressive side wagers: Games like Caribbean Stud Poker regularly contain one of these. You normally put a bet (a dollar is the normal amount) to try to win a side jackpot that can reach $25,000. Though big jackpots like this are very appealing, they are also very 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 put the side wager every time. That is $20 you could have used towards the actual game wager in place of a sucker bet. Imagine what you could have been able to win at a wager with more favorable odds utilizing that 20 dollars.
Individual number wagers in Roulette: This is particularly true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has 2 zeroes on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has only one. This shifts the complete casino edge from two% with one zero wheel to a whopping 5percent in American. The single number bet has only a 1 in thirty eight chance of succeeding, which are very long odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red wagers as a substitute which have a much smaller casino advantage.
Keno: Any version of Keno, and regardless of how you play it, the house edge can be a whopping 25%. Yes, that wasn’t a typo. Because of the large set of numbers you have to choose, it isn’t recommended to gamble on Keno to often. A few times for enjoyment, perhaps. But do not spend all your money on it or you will immediately find yourself beaten.
