Web Casino Sucker Wagers — Part I

  • Proposition bets in Craps: These Craps bets refers to the fact that you are wagering that a specific thing will happen on the next toss. For example, you may make the ‘hard ways’ wager, which means that you’re betting that the shooter will toss a 4, 6, 8 or 10 by tossing a double. These bets have a casino edge of anywhere from 9 to 11%. This is a massive house edge, and it is very rare that they hit.
  • Tie wager in Baccarat: This is a wager that no one, the dealer or the player will win, but that the hands will tie. This is an exceedingly abnormal situation in internet Baccarat, therefore the house advantage is high. At 14.1percent casino edge, this is the very definition of a sucker bet.
  • Insurance bet in Blackjack: Although black jack has one of the lowest casino advantages (and there is also a ton of talent required), this is a sucker bet. Dependent on how many decks of cards are being played and the table rules, the house edge of this is at least five percent, but can be as big as fourteen percent. Only very experienced card counters can make this wager work for them, and even then it remains a sucker wager.
