Online Sic Bo is a simple game of chance requiring no skill whatsoever. Of ancient Chinese origin and meaning “Dice Pair”, it can be played at virtually every operation out there today.
Similar to roulette, Sic Bo offers a multitude of betting options requiring a general knowledge of rules and odds. Once all bets have been placed, three dice roll around in a cage and are then released to come to a stop. The dice result determines winners and losers, and again just like roulette, winning bets are paid out and losers are swept away. It really is as simple as it sounds but there are a few more things to know before diving in.
Betting on Big
This is a bet predicting that the total sum of the three rolled dice will be between 11 and 17. The exception to this rule is if the roll results in all having the same number, in which case it’s a loss. Winning Big Bets are paid at 1-1 and with a House edge of only 2.76%, this is one of the most profitable wagers to make.
Betting on Small
The opposite of betting on big is obviously small, indicating a prediction that the total sum of the three rolled dice will be between 4 and 10. Again, a three of a kind will lose and yes, the House edge is an identical 2.76%, making it another wise play.
Betting on The Total Sum of The Dice Roll
This is a bet on the total sum of the three dice rolled with odds of winning range from 1.39% (staking the total sum of the dice equalling 4) and 12.50% (staking the total sum to equal 11).
There are several more options but the odds given on these are poor and it’s not advised to even consider them. While mostly a game of chance, there are a few things that can be done to improve the chances of leaving the table with more chips than sitting down with.
Don’t Bet on Long Shots Unless You Expect to Lose
Placing a bet on a real long shot, such as the total sum rolled to be 5, is a waste of time and money. With a House edge of 47.22%, it’s obviously a losing proposition but on rare occasions it wins, it’s nothing shy of a true miracle.
