Online Casino Sucker Wagers — Part I

  • Proposition wagers in Craps: These Craps wagers indicates you’re wagering that a distinct action might happen on the next toss. For instance, you might make the ‘hard ways’ bet, which indicates that you’re betting that the tosser will toss a four, six, eight, or ten by tossing a double. These bets have a house advantage of anywhere from 9 to 11%. This is a massive casino 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 the 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 Blackjack has one of the smallest casino advantages (and there is also a ton of skill involved), this is a sucker wager. Relying on how many decks of cards are being played and the table rules, the house edge of this is at least 5%, but can be as great as 14 percent. Only very accomplished card counters are able to make this wager work for them, and even then it’s still a sucker wager.
