Web Casino Sucker Bets — Part II
Progressive side bets: Casino games such as Caribbean Stud Poker often have one of these. You usually put a wager (a dollar is the usual amt.) to try to win a bonus jackpot that could be upwards of $25,000. Although big jackpots like this are very alluring, they are also very hard to succeed. You would have to get a Royal Flush in order to succeed on this bet. Also, picture this- you play twenty hands and lay the side bet every time. That is $20 you could have used towards the actual game bet in place of a sucker bet. Imagine what you could have been able to win at a bet with more favorable odds employing that $20.
Individual number wagers in Roulette: This is completely 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 casino edge from 2.63% with a single zero wheel to a huge fivepercent in American. The single number bet has just a 1 in thirty eight chance of succeeding, which are very long odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red bets instead which have a much lower house edge.
Keno: Any version of Keno, and regardless of how you gamble on it, the casino edge can be a whopping twenty-five percent. No, that wasn’t a typo. Due to the large set of numbers you have to pick, it is not advisable to wager on Keno very much. A number of times for enjoyment, maybe. But do not spend all your cash on it or you will immediately discover yourself beaten.
