Baccarat Rules

Baccarat is played with eight decks of cards in a shoe. Cards that are valued under ten are valued at their printed value while ten, 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 persons; they only appear as the two hands to be dealt).

2 hands of 2 cards are then played to the ‘banker’ … ‘player’. The total for every hand will be the sum of the 2 cards, but the 1st digit is dropped. For e.g., a hand of 7 … five produces a score of 2 (7plusfive=12; drop the ‘1′).

A 3rd card might be dealt depending on the following standards:

- If the gambler or banker has a value of eight or 9, each players stand.

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

- If gambler stands, the banker hits of 5 or lesser. If the bettor hits, a chart might be used in order to judge if the banker stands or hits.

Baccarat Odds

The bigger of the 2 scores will be the winner. Successful wagers on the banker pay at 19 to 20 (even odds minus a five % commission. Commission is tracked and moved out when you leave the table so make sure to have cash left before you leave). Bets on the player that end up winning pay 1 to one. Winning bets for tie typically pays 8 to 1 and sometimes 9 to one. (This is a bad gamble as ties will occur lower than one every 10 hands. Run away from laying money on a tie. Even so odds are significantlly better – nine to one vs. 8 to one)

Played smartly, baccarat offers pretty good odds, aside from the tie wager ofcourse.

Baccarat Strategy

As with just about all games, Baccarat has some well-known misunderstandings. One of which is very similar to a misconception of roulette. The past is not an actual indicator of future results. Tracking of past results on a chart is undoubtedly a total waste of paper … an insult to the tree that gave its life to be used as our stationary.

The most established and probably most successful strategy is the one-3-two-6 method. This process is deployed to pump up profits and cutting back risk.

commence by betting 1 unit. If you win, add 1 more to the two on the table for a total of 3 on the second bet. If you win you will have six on the table, clear away 4 so you have two on the third gamble. If you win the third gamble, add 2 to the four on the table for a total of six on the fourth gamble.

If you don’t win on the 1st wager, you take a loss of one. A win on the first bet followed up by loss on the 2nd causes a loss of 2. Wins on the first 2 with a loss on the third gives you a profit of two. And wins on the first three with a loss on the 4th mean you come out even. Winning all four bets leaves you with 12, a profit of 10. Therefore you can get beaten the second bet 5 times for every successful streak of 4 bets and still break even.
