There is nothing more frustrating in the world than to almost have it. Some would almost not come to close to winning than to have it dangled in front of them only to be yanked away at the last second. We have all been there. You go to the casino and sit at the roulette table for a couple of hours. You play the same number spin after spin. Finally, with your last five or ten dollar chip you make a bet on a different number. Guess what happens. The number you gave up on comes up, your heart sinks, and the rest of the crowd at the roulette table looks at you in pity. This instance often happens while playing poker. You are dealt a hand that is a sure winner. As the play continues you make smart bets to keep the other players in the game and increase the pot. Just as you are sure you have the table licked one of your opponents throws down a hand that can only be described as miraculous. It is called a Bad-Beat and they can ruin a poker player’s day. There is good news for those who are susceptible to the bad beat. Many brick and mortar as well as online casinos and poker rooms are offering insurance. This is not just a recoup your bet insurance. This insurance comes in the form of a jackpot.
Many casinos now are offering bad beat jackpots. Often times, these are progressive jackpots. The idea is simple. A player needs to be sitting at a Bad Beat poker table. He or she also needs to have a qualifying hand. (These hands are usually determined by the house.) If a player who meets these qualifications plays through the entire game and is beat, he or she wins the Bad Beat jackpot. The Bad Beat jackpot is usually a large one and is usually shared with all the players at the table, sometimes the room, with the winner (or loser) getting the lion’s share. Over the past couple of years Bad Beat jackpots have been hit that have changed people’s financial lives.
One of the most played online poker networks in the world has recently announced that their Bad Beat jackpot is nearing a record high. The International Poker Network is run by the interactive division on GTECH Corporation, GTECH G2.
