Baccarat Regulations

Baccarat is played with eight decks of cards. Cards which are valued under ten are said to be worth face value while 10, J, Q, K are 0, and A are each equal to 1. Wagers are placed on the ‘banker,’ the ‘player’ or for a tie (these aren’t actual gamblers; they only depict the 2 hands to be played).

Two hands of 2 cards shall then be given to the ‘banker’ … ‘player’. The score for every hand is the total of the 2 cards, but the 1st digit is removed. For e.g., a hand of seven as well as 5 gives a score of two (sevenplusfive=12; drop the ‘1′).

A third card can be given depending on the foll. codes:

- If the gambler or banker has a score of eight or 9, then both players stand.

- If the player has 5 or lower, he hits. bettors stand otherwise.

- If player stands, the banker hits of five or lower. If the bettor hits, a chart might be used in order to ascertain if the banker stands or hits.

Baccarat Odds

The greater of the two scores will be the winner. Successful wagers on the banker pay at 19 to 20 (even money minus a five percent commission. Commission is followed closely and paid out when you leave the table so make sure that you have cash still before you leave). Bets on the player that end up winning pay 1 to one. Winner bets for tie typically pays eight to 1 but on occasion nine to 1. (This is not a good wager as ties will happen lower than 1 every ten hands. Run away from putting money on a tie. Still, odds are greatly better – nine to 1 vs. 8 to one)

Played accurately, baccarat offers pretty decent odds, away from the tie bet of course.

Baccarat Strategy

As with many games, Baccarat has some common false impressions. 1 of which is similar to a misconception of roulette. The past is in no way an actual indicator of future results. Monitoring of old outcomes on a chart is a total waste of paper and an insult to the tree that gave its life to be used as our stationary.

The most common and feasibly most successful strategy is the one-3-two-6 technique. This scheme is deployed to build up earnings and controlling risk.

start by gambling 1 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 six on the table, clear away four so you have 2 on the third wager. If you win the 3rd bet, add two to the 4 on the table for a sum total of six on the fourth bet.

If you lose on the 1st wager, you suck up a loss of one. A win on the 1st bet followed up by loss on the second brings about a loss of 2. Wins on the first two with a loss on the third gives you a profit of 2. And wins on the first three with a loss on the 4th mean you breakeven. Coming away with a win on all four bets leaves you with twelve, a profit of ten. In other words you can lose the 2nd bet 5 times for every successful streak of 4 bets and still break even.
