Internet Casino Sucker Wagers — Part II
February 25th, 2010 at 22:21
Progressive side wagers: Games like Caribbean Stud Poker commonly contain one of these. You normally lay a wager (a dollar is the usual amount) to try to win a bonus jackpot that could reach twenty-five thousand dollars. Although big jackpots like these are particularly alluring, they are also very hard to succeed. You would need to hit a Royal Flush in order to succeed on this wager. Also, picture this- you play twenty hands and place the side wager every time. That’s 20 dollars you should have used towards the real game wager instead of a sucker bet. Imagine what you could have been able to win at a wager with better odds employing that twenty dollars.
Single number wagers in Roulette: This is especially true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has two zeroes on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has just one. This shifts the complete casino edge from 2.63% with one zero wheel to a huge 5.26% in American. The single number bet has only a one in 38 chance of winning, which are very long odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red bets as a substitute which have a much lower house edge.
Keno: Any variation of Keno, and regardless of how you play it, the house advantage can be a huge 25%. No, that was not a typo. Due to the huge amount of numbers you must choose, it is not advisable to play Keno very much. A couple of times for enjoyment, maybe. But do not waste all your money on it or you will immediately find yourself broke.
