Online Casino Sucker Wagers — Part I

  • Proposition bets in Craps: These Craps bets basically means you’re wagering that a distinct thing might arise on the upcoming toss. For example, you may make the ‘hard ways’ wager, which means that you’re betting that the tosser will roll a 4, 6, 8 or 10 by rolling a double. These bets comprise of a house edge of anywhere from 9.1-11.1%. This is a huge house advantage, and it is very atypical that they hit.
  • Tie bet in Baccarat: This is a wager that no one, the croupier or the player will come away with a win, but that both hands will tie. This is a very atypical occurrence in net Baccarat, therefore the house edge is high. At 14.1% casino edge, this is the very definition of a sucker wager.
  • Insurance in Chemin de Fer: Although chemin de fer has one of the lowest casino advantages (and there is also a tonne of skill involved), this is a sucker bet. Depending on how many decks of cards are being employed and the table rules, the house advantage of this is at least 5 percent, but can be as great as fourteen percent. Only very accomplished card counters are able to make this bet function for them, and even then it is still a sucker wager.
