Baccarat Standards

Baccarat is played with 8 decks of cards in a shoe. Cards which are of a value less than ten are said to be at their printed number whereas 10, J, Q, K are 0, and A are each given a value of 1. Wagers are placed upon the ‘banker,’ the ‘player’ or for a tie (these aren’t actual contenders; they strictly symbolize the 2 hands to be given out).

2 hands of two cards are then played to the ‘banker’ as well as ‘player’. The score for any hand is the total of the two cards, but the first digit is discarded. For e.g., a hand of seven … 5 has a total of 2 (sevenplus5=12; drop the ‘1′).

A 3rd card could be dealt depending on the foll. rules:

- If the bettor or banker has a tally of 8 or 9, then both players stand.

- If the player has five or less, he/she hits. bettors stand otherwise.

- If player stands, the banker hits of five or less. If the bettor hits, a chart will be used to figure if the banker stands or hits.

Baccarat Odds

The larger of the two scores is the winner. Successful bets on the banker pay at nineteen to 20 (even money minus a 5 percent commission. Commission is followed closely and paid out when you leave the table so make sure you have $$$$$ left before you leave). Bets on the player that end up winning pay one to one. Winner bets for tie typically pay out eight to 1 and on occasion nine to one. (This is a terrible bet as ties happen less than 1 every 10 hands. Definitely don’t try laying money on a tie. Even so odds are noticeably better – nine to one versus eight to one)

When done effectively, baccarat offers relatively good odds, away from the tie wager ofcourse.

Baccarat Strategy

As with every games, Baccarat has some well-known false impressions. One of which is very similar to a roulette misconception. The past is in no way an actual indicator of future results. Tracking of old outcomes on a chart is undoubtedly a waste of paper … a slap in the face for the tree that gave its life for our stationary needs.

The most popular and possibly most successful method is the 1-three-2-6 method. This plan is used to maximize winnings and minimizing risk.

start by betting one unit. If you win, add 1 more to the two on the table for a total of 3 on the 2nd bet. If you win you will have six on the table, take away four so you have 2 on the third wager. If you win the third bet, add two to the 4 on the table for a total of 6 on the fourth gamble.

If you lose on the first bet, you suck up a loss of 1. A win on the first bet followed up by loss on the second will create a loss of 2. 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 4th mean you breakeven. Attaining a win on all four bets leaves you with twelve, a profit of ten. Therefore you can lose the 2nd bet 5 times for every successful streak of four bets and still break even.
