Baccarat Standards

Baccarat is played with eight decks of cards. Cards which are valued less than 10 are counted at face value whereas 10, J, Q, K are 0, and A are each applied a value of 1. Bets are placed on the ‘banker,’ the ‘player’ or for a tie (these aren’t actual players; they strictly portray the two hands to be given out).

Two hands of two cards shall then be given out to the ‘banker’ … ‘player’. The value for every hand shall be the grand total of the two cards, but the initial digit is dumped. For e.g., a hand of 7 as well as five has a score of two (sevenplusfive=12; drop the ‘one’).

A 3rd card can be played depending on the following standards:

- If the player or banker has a value of 8 or nine, each players stand.

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

- If player stands, the banker hits of five or lower. If the player hits, a chart shall be used to decide if the banker stands or hits.

Baccarat Odds

The greater of the two scores is the winner. Victorious bets on the banker pay at 19 to 20 (even money minus a five % commission. Commission is monitored and paid out when you leave the table so ensure that you have cash still before you leave). Bets on the player that end up winning pay one to 1. Winner bets for tie usually pay eight to one but on occasion 9 to one. (This is a terrible gamble as ties will happen lower than 1 every ten hands. be cautious of putting money on a tie. Nevertheless odds are significantlly better – nine to one vs. eight to 1)

When done effectively, baccarat offers generally good odds, aside from the tie bet of course.

Baccarat Strategy

As with just about every games, Baccarat has some common myths. One of which is quite similar to a roulette myth. The past is not an indicator of future actions. Monitoring of last results on a chart is a waste of paper and a slap in the face for the tree that gave its life for our stationary needs.

The most commonly used and possibly most successful tactic is the one-three-2-6 scheme. This scheme is used to magnify winnings and controlling risk.

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

If you lose on the initial bet, you take a loss of 1. A win on the 1st bet followed up by loss on the second causes a loss of two. Wins on the 1st 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 break even. A win on all four bets leaves you with 12, a profit of 10. Thus you can get beaten the second bet 5 times for every successful streak of four bets and still break even.
