Online Casino Sucker Bets — Part 2

Wednesday, 4. June 2025

  • Progressive side bets: Casino games such as Caribbean Stud Poker often offer one of these. You normally place a bet (a dollar is the normal value) to try to win a side jackpot that could reach twenty-five thousand dollars. Though big jackpots like this are extremely appealing, they are also particularly complicated to win. You would have to hit a Royal Flush in order to win this bet. Also, think about this- you wager 20 hands and place the side bet every time. That’s $20 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. Why? American Roulette has 2 zeroes on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has only 1. This shifts the complete house edge from twopercent with a single zero wheel to a huge five% in American. The single number bet has just a one in thirty eight chance of succeeding, which are very long odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red wagers alternately which have a much smaller house advantage.
  • Keno: Any version of Keno, and anyway you wager on it, the casino advantage can be a huge 25%. No, that isn’t a error. Because of the large amount of numbers you must choose, it’s not advisable to bet on Keno very much. A few times for enjoyment, perhaps. But don’t spend all your cash on it or you will quickly find yourself broke.
