Web Casino Sucker Wagers — Part 1

by Aiden on Thursday, October 1st, 2015

  • Proposition bets in Craps: These Craps bets basically means you’re betting that a particular feature may arise on the very next roll. For example, you may make the ‘hard ways’ wager, which means that you are wagering that the shooter will toss a four, six, eight, or ten by tossing a double. These wagers comprise of a casino edge of anywhere from 9.1-11.1%. This is a huge casino edge, and it’s incredibly atypical that they hit.
  • Tie bet in Baccarat: This is a bet that no one, the house or the player will come away with a win, but that both hands will tie. This is an exceedingly atypical situation in online punto banco, therefore the casino advantage is high. At fourteenpercent casino advantage, this is the quintisential definition of a sucker bet.
  • Insurance in Chemin de Fer: Although black jack has one of the lowest casino advantages (and there is also a ton of skill involved), this is a sucker bet. Relying on how many decks are being used and the rules of the table, the casino advantage of this is at least five %, but can be as big as 14%. Only very accomplished card counters are able to make this wager function for them, and more often than not then it remains a sucker wager.
