• Internet Casino Sucker Bets — Part I

    • Proposition wagers in Craps: These Craps bets refers to the fact that you are betting that a distinct thing may develop on the next toss. For example, you might make the ‘hard ways’ bet, which basically means that you’re wagering that the shooter will roll a four, six, eight, or ten by rolling a double. These bets offer a casino edge of anywhere from 9 to 11%. This is a massive casino edge, and it is incredibly rare that they hit.
    • Tie bet in Baccarat: This is a bet that no one, the dealer nor the player will come out on top, but that the hands will tie. This is a very abnormal situation in net punto banco, therefore the house advantage is high. At fourteenpercent casino advantage, this is the quintisential definition of a sucker wager.
    • Insurance wager in Black Jack: Although black jack has one of the smallest house advantages (and there is also a lot of skill involved), this is a sucker wager. Dependent on how many decks of cards are being used and the table rules, the house edge of this is at least five percent, but can be as great as 14%. Only very accomplished card counters are able to make this bet work for them, and even then it remains a sucker bet.
