Online Casino Sucker Bets — Part I
Tuesday, 10. March 2020
[ English ]
- Proposition bets in Craps: These Craps bets refers to the fact that you are wagering that a particular thing may happen on the upcoming roll. For instance, you may make the ‘hard ways’ bet, which indicates that you are 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 9.1-11.1%. This is a huge casino advantage, and it’s awfully atypical that they hit.
- Tie bet in Baccarat: This is a bet that neither the house or the player will come away with a win, but that both hands will tie. This is a very rare situation in net punto banco, therefore the casino edge is high. At 14.1% casino advantage, this is the quintisential definition of a sucker wager.
- Insurance in Black Jack: Although black jack has one of the smallest casino advantages (and there is also a lot of ability required), this is a sucker bet. Depending on how many decks are being used and the rules of the table, the house advantage of this is at least five percent, but can be as great as fourteen %. Only extremely experienced card counters can make this wager work for them, and more often than not then it remains a sucker bet.
