Baccarat Protocols

Baccarat is played with eight decks of cards in a shoe. Cards under 10 are valued at face value while 10, J, Q, K are 0, and A are each equal to 1. Wagers are placed upon the ‘banker,’ the ‘player’ or for a tie (these aren’t actual people; they simply symbolize the 2 hands to be given out).

Two hands of two cards will then be dealt to the ‘banker’ as well as ‘player’. The score for every hand shall be the sum total of the 2 cards, but the very first digit is dropped. For example, a hand of 7 as well as five produces a tally of two (7plus5=12; drop the ‘one’).

A 3rd card could be played depending on the following codes:

- If the gambler or banker has a tally of 8 or 9, both bettors stand.

- If the gambler has 5 or less, he/she hits. gamblers stand otherwise.

- If player stands, the banker hits of 5 or less. If the player hits, a chart is used to figure if the banker stands or hits.

Baccarat Odds

The larger of the 2 scores wins. Successful stakes on the banker payout 19 to twenty (even money less a five percent commission. Commission is monitored and cleared out when you leave the table so make sure that you have $$$$$ remaining before you leave). Winning bets on the player pay 1 to 1. Winning bets for tie as a rule pay out eight to 1 and on occasion nine to one. (This is a terrible gamble as ties happen lower than 1 every ten hands. be wary of placing bets on a tie. Regardless odds are greatly better – 9 to one versus 8 to one)

When done accurately, baccarat offers pretty good odds, apart from the tie wager ofcourse.

Baccarat Strategy

As with every games, Baccarat has some established false impressions. 1 of which is very similar to a roulette myth. The past is in no way a predictor of future happenings. Keeping track of prior results on a chart is definitely a total waste of paper and an insult to the tree that gave its life for our stationary needs.

The most common and possibly most successful strategy is the 1-three-2-6 technique. This plan is employed to increase earnings and lowering risk.

Begin by wagering one unit. If you win, add 1 more to the 2 on the table for a total of 3 on the second bet. If you win you will have 6 on the table, take away four so you have 2 on the third bet. If you win the 3rd bet, add 2 to the 4 on the table for a sum of six on the fourth bet.

If you don’t win on the 1st wager, you take a loss of one. A win on the 1st bet followed by loss on the second creates a loss of two. Wins on the 1st two with a loss on the 3rd gives you a profit of 2. And wins on the first three with a loss on the fourth mean you come out even. Arriving at a win on all four bets leaves you with twelve, a profit of ten. Thus that you can lose the second bet 5 times for every successful streak of four bets and still break even.
