Online Casino Sucker Wagers — Part 1
[ English ]
- Proposition wagers in Craps: These Craps wagers alludes to the fact that you are wagering that a particular thing will arise on the next toss. For example, you might make the ‘hard ways’ bet, which indicates that you are wagering that the tosser will roll a 4, 6, 8 or 10 by rolling a double. These wagers have a casino edge of anywhere from 9 to 11%. This is a huge house advantage, and it’s very abnormal that they hit.
- Tie wager in Baccarat: This is a wager that neither the dealer or the player will come out on top, but that both hands will tie. This is a very rare situation in net punto banco, therefore the casino advantage is high. At 14.1% casino advantage, this is the very definition of a sucker wager.
- Insurance in Blackjack: Although black jack has one of the lowest house advantages (and there is also a tonne of ability required), this is a sucker bet. Dependent on how many decks of cards are being played and the rules of the table, the casino advantage of this is at least five %, but can be as big as 14%. Only extremely accomplished card counters are able to make this bet function for them, and more often than not then it is still a sucker bet.
