  • Proposition bets in Craps: These Craps wagers basically means you’re betting that a specific feature may develop on the upcoming toss. For example, you may make the ‘hard ways’ wager, which indicates that you’re betting that the shooter will toss a 4, 6, 8 or 10 by rolling a double. These bets offer a casino advantage of anywhere from 9 to 11%. This is a massive casino advantage, and it is awfully atypical that they hit.
  • Tie wager in Baccarat: This is a wager that neither the dealer nor the player will come away with a win, but that both hands will tie. This is an extremely atypical occurrence in internet Baccarat, therefore the house advantage is high. At fourteenpercent casino advantage, this is the quintisential definition of a sucker wager.
  • Insurance in Chemin de Fer: Although Blackjack has one of the lowest casino advantages (and there is also a lot of talent involved), this is a sucker wager. Depending on how many decks of cards are being played and the table rules, the casino advantage of this is at least 5%, but can be as great as 14%. Only extremely accomplished card counters can make this wager work for them, and even then it’s still a sucker bet.
