Baccarat Policies

Baccarat is played with eight decks of cards. Cards below a value of 10 are valued at their printed value meanwhile 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 gamblers; they just appear as the two hands to be played).

2 hands of two cards are then dealt to the ‘banker’ and ‘player’. The score for any hand shall be the sum total of the two cards, but the 1st digit is removed. For e.g., a hand of seven … five will have a total of 2 (7plusfive=12; drop the ‘one’).

A 3rd card may be played depending on the following guidelines:

- If the bettor or banker has a value of 8 or 9, each players stand.

- If the gambler has five or less, he hits. bettors stand otherwise.

- If bettor stands, the banker hits of five or less. If the player hits, a chart is used to judge if the banker stands or hits.

Baccarat Odds

The greater of the two scores will be the winner. Successful bets on the banker pay at 19 to twenty (even money less a 5% commission. Commission is monitored and moved out when you leave the table so be sure to have money still before you leave). Bets on the player that end up winning pay 1 to one. Winner bets for tie as a rule pay out 8 to 1 but sometimes nine to one. (This is an awful wager as ties will happen lower than 1 every ten hands. be wary of placing bets on a tie. Nevertheless odds are greatly better – nine to 1 versus eight to 1)

When played effectively, baccarat presents generally good odds, apart from the tie bet of course.

Baccarat Strategy

As with most games, Baccarat has some well-known myths. 1 of which is very similar to a misconception of roulette. The past is never actually an actual indicator of future events. Staying abreast of past outcomes on a chart is definitely a total waste of paper and a slap in the face for the tree that gave its life to be used as our stationary.

The most commonly used and almost certainly most successful strategy is the 1-three-two-six method. This plan is deployed to maximize payout and minimizing risk.

Begin by gambling 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, take away four so you have 2 on the 3rd wager. If you win the 3rd wager, add two to the 4 on the table for a sum total of 6 on the fourth wager.

If you lose on the initial wager, you suck up a loss of one. A win on the first bet followed up by loss on the second will create a loss of 2. Wins on the first 2 with a loss on the 3rd gives you a profit of two. And wins on the first 3 with a loss on the fourth mean you breakeven. Winning all four bets leaves you with 12, a profit of ten. In other words that you can get beaten the 2nd bet 5 times for every successful streak of 4 bets and still break even.
