Online Casino Sucker Bets — Part One

  • Proposition bets in Craps: These Craps wagers means you’re betting that a distinct action might arise on the upcoming toss. For example, you may make the ‘hard ways’ bet, which basically means that you are betting that the tosser will toss a 4, 6, 8 or 10 by rolling a double. These wagers offer a house advantage of anywhere from 9 to 11%. This is a massive casino advantage, and it’s very rare that they hit.
  • Tie wager in Baccarat: This is a bet that no one, the croupier or the player will come out on top, but that both hands will tie. This is an extremely rare situation in internet Baccarat, therefore the casino edge is high. At fourteenpercent casino edge, this is the quintisential definition of a sucker wager.
  • Insurance in Chemin de Fer: Although black jack has one of the smallest house advantages (and there is also a tonne of ability involved), this is a sucker wager. Dependent on how many decks of cards are being employed and the rules of the table, the casino edge of this is at least five percent, but can be as great as 14%. Only very experienced card counters are able to make this bet work for them, and more often than not then it’s still a sucker wager.
