Online Casino Sucker Bets — Part I

  • Proposition bets in Craps: These Craps wagers refers to the fact that you’re wagering that a specific thing might happen on the upcoming roll. For example, you might make the ‘hard ways’ wager, which means that you are wagering that the tosser will toss a 4, 6, 8 or 10 by rolling a double. These wagers offer a house advantage of anywhere from nine to elevenpercent. This is a huge house edge, and it’s incredibly atypical that they hit.
  • Tie wager in Baccarat: This is a wager that no one, the croupier or the player will come out on top, but that both hands will tie. This is an exceedingly atypical occurrence in online Baccarat, therefore the casino advantage is high. At 14.1% casino advantage, this is the quintisential definition of a sucker wager.
  • Insurance wager in Blackjack: Although chemin de fer has one of the smallest house advantages (and there is also a tonne of ability required), this is a sucker wager. Depending on how many decks are being played and the table rules, the casino advantage of this is at least five percent, but can be as big as 14%. Only very accomplished card counters can make this bet work for them, and even then it remains a sucker wager.
