Online Casino Sucker Wagers — Part I

  • Proposition bets in Craps: These Craps wagers basically means you are wagering that a specific action will develop on the upcoming roll. For example, you might make the ‘hard ways’ wager, which indicates that you’re betting that the shooter will roll a 4, 6, 8 or 10 by rolling a double. These bets have a casino edge of anywhere from 9.1-11.1percent. This is a huge house edge, and it’s very abnormal that they hit.
  • Tie bet in Baccarat: This is a wager that no one, the croupier nor the player will win, but that both hands will tie. This is an extremely abnormal situation in online baccarat chemin de fer, therefore the casino edge is high. At 14.1% casino edge, this is the very definition of a sucker bet.
  • Insurance in Chemin de Fer: Although chemin de fer has one of the smallest house advantages (and there is also a lot of skill required), this is a sucker bet. Depending on how many decks of cards are being played and the rules of the table, the house advantage of this is at least 5 percent, but can be as big as fourteen percent. Only extremely experienced card counters are able to make this wager function for them, and more often than not then it remains a sucker wager.
