Internet Casino Sucker Bets — Part 2
May 1st, 2026 by Joel
  • Progressive side bets: Games such as Caribbean Stud Poker commonly contain one of these. You usually place a bet (a dollar is the usual amount) to attempt to win a side jackpot that could reach $25,000. Though huge jackpots like this are particularly appealing, they’re also very complicated to win. You would have to hit a Royal Flush in order to win this wager. Also, picture this- you play twenty hands and lay the side bet each time. That is $20 you should have used towards the real game bet instead of a sucker bet. Picture what you might have been able to win at a wager with greater odds using that $20.
  • Individual number wagers in Roulette: This is particularly true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has two zeroes on the wheel, as opposed to European Roulette, which has only one. This shifts the complete house advantage from 2% with a single zero wheel to a whopping 5% in American. The one number bet has only a one in 38 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 bet on it, the house advantage can be a whopping 25%. No, that is not a typo. Due to the large set of numbers you have to select, it’s not advisable to wager on Keno to often. A few times for entertainment, perhaps. But don’t spend all your cash on it or you’ll immediately find yourself bankrupt.
