Web Casino Sucker Bets — Part 1

Proposition bets in Craps: These Craps bets basically means you are betting that a particular thing will develop on the next toss. For example, you may make the ‘hard ways’ wager, which means that you’re wagering that the shooter will toss a 4, 6, 8 or 10 by tossing a double. These wagers have a casino edge of anywhere from 9 to 11%. This is a huge house advantage, and it is awfully abnormal that they hit.
Tie wager in Baccarat: This is a bet that no one, the dealer or the player will win, but that the hands will tie. This is an exceedingly rare occurrence in online Baccarat, therefore the house edge is high. At fourteen% casino advantage, this is the very definition of a sucker bet.
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. Dependent on how many decks are being played and the rules of the table, the house advantage of this is at least five %, but can be as big as 14%. Only very experienced card counters can make this bet work for them, and more often than not then it remains a sucker bet.
