Internet Casino Sucker Wagers — Part 1

  • Proposition bets in Craps: These Craps bets indicates you are betting that a specific action will happen on the very next toss. For example, you might make the ‘hard ways’ wager, which basically means that you’re betting that the tosser will toss a 4, 6, 8 or 10 by tossing a double. These bets have a house edge of anywhere from nine to elevenpercent. This is a huge house advantage, and it’s very atypical that they hit.
  • Tie bet in Baccarat: This is a wager that no one, the dealer or the player will come away with a win, but that both hands will tie. This is an extremely atypical occurrence in net Baccarat, therefore the casino advantage is high. At fourteenpercent casino advantage, this is the very definition of a sucker bet.
  • Insurance in Black Jack: Although black jack has one of the smallest house advantages (and there is also a ton of skill required), this is a sucker bet. Depending on how many decks are being employed and the rules of the table, the house advantage of this is at least 5%, but can be as great as 14 percent. Only extremely accomplished card counters can make this wager work for them, and more often than not then it remains a sucker wager.
