Online Casino Sucker Bets — Part II
Posted by Shea on March 4th, 2026
Progressive side wagers: Casino games such as Caribbean Stud Poker commonly offer one of these. You normally lay a bet ($1 is the normal value) to attempt to win a bonus jackpot that could be upwards of twenty-five thousand dollars. Although big jackpots like this are particularly tempting, they’re also particularly complicated to succeed. You might have to hit a Royal Flush in order to hit this bet. Also, imagine this- you wager 20 hands and put the side wager each time. That is twenty dollars you should have used towards the real game wager in place of a sucker bet. Imagine what you could have been able to win at a bet with better odds utilizing that twenty dollars.
Single number wagers in Roulette: This is particularly true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has two zeroes on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has just 1. This takes the complete casino edge from 2% with one zero wheel to a whopping 5percent in American. The one number wager has just a one in thirty eight chance of succeeding, which are very big odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red bets alternately which have a much smaller casino advantage.
Keno: Any variation of Keno, and regardless of how you wager on it, the house advantage can be a huge 25%. Yes, that is not a typo. Due to the large amount of numbers you have to select, it’s not recommended to play Keno to often. A few times for fun, perhaps. But do not spend all your money on it or you will quickly find yourself bankrupt.
