Online Sic Bo Strategies

High and Low Risk Bets

Like many Online Casino games in South Africa, in Online Sic Bo you have the choice of playing high risk or low risk. A high risk bet means that the wager amount and possible winnings are big. However, the chances of actually winning are very slim. Whereas a low risk bet means that the wager amount and possible winnings are small, but the chances of winning are higher.

If you cannot afford to lose a huge amount on a high risk bet, it would be better to keep wagering smaller amounts.

Small and Big Bets

Small and Big Bets are both Low Risk bets. By placing Small and Big Bets, the player stands more chances of winning.  A Small Bet is when a player places a wager on the sum of the dice being any number from 4 to 10. And a Big is when the player places a wager on the sum of the dice being any number from 11 to 17.

The payouts for these bets are lower because the odds that the player will win are higher. Again, these types of bets will benefit players in South Africa who cannot afford to (or choose not to) put a big amount at stake.

Mixing Bets

If South African players don’t want to spend too much on a single bet, but want more favourable odds, they can try combining their bets. This is somewhat of a medium risk strategy. It is up to the player if they want to lean more towards low or high risk.

To increase their odds of winning, players in South Africa can mix bets by betting on different sections on the betting board per roll. Although this strategy might sometimes mean that the player will more or less win their betting money back, it is better than nothing altogether.

Online Sic Bo FAQs

Glossary

·         Any Triple

This is a type of bet where the player wins when the same number is hit on all three dice. Players can expect a 30 to 1 payout, but this might vary from one online casino to the next.

·        Double

This is an Online Sic Bo wager by the player that two out of the three dice will reflect an identical number. Double bets can only be made on numbers 1 to 6 (all possible sides a die can hit).

·         Duo

Players make this bet when they think and hope that two of the three dice will hit two different numbers. In the game of Sic Bo, Duos bets have fifteen feasible combinations.

·         Re-Bet

When players make the same wager as they did in the previous round.

·         Bankroll

This refers to the total amount of money a player will use for gambling on one occasion, but not necessarily one round or one specific game.

·         Betting Board / Betting Table

A special Sic Bo table with sections used for making wagers.

·         Small Bet

A Small Bet means that the player places a wager on the sum of the dice being in the range of 4 to 10.

·         Big Bet

Quite ironically this type of bet pays out 1 to 1. A Big Bet simply means that a player is placing a wager that the sum of the dice numbers will be somewhere between 11 and 17.

·         Strong Bet

Another ironic term, this type of bet generally refers to a single bet which applies to the outcomes of all three dice. The irony in the term is that in reality, this is a weaker bet. This is because the chances are slim that the player will win compared to bets on a single die or two dice.

·         Clear

This happens when everything is removed from the Betting Table. All chips (or credit) goes to the players if they won, or the house if the player lost.

·         Simple / Single

When a player bets on that one specific number will be rolled with any of the three dice. The payout ratio for a single bet is 1 to 1.
