Baccarat Protocols

Baccarat is played with 8 decks of cards. Cards than are of a value less than 10 are said to be at their printed value meanwhile ten, J, Q, K are 0, and A are each given a value of 1. Bets are placed on the ‘banker,’ the ‘player’ or for a tie (these aren’t actual gamblers; they strictly represent the two hands to be given out).

Two hands of two cards shall then be given to the ‘banker’ as well as ‘player’. The value for each hand will be the sum total of the two cards, but the 1st digit is dumped. For example, a hand of 7 as well as five produces a total score of two (sevenplus5=12; drop the ‘one’).

A 3rd card might be played depending on the following protocols:

- If the bettor or banker has a tally of eight or nine, the two bettors stand.

- If the bettor has five or lower, he/she hits. Players stand otherwise.

- If gambler stands, the banker hits of 5 or lower. If the bettor hits, a chart is used to judge if the banker stands or hits.

Baccarat Odds

The larger of the 2 scores wins. Winning bets on the banker payout nineteen to 20 (even money less a five percent commission. Commission is monitored and cleared out when you leave the table so be sure to have dollars remaining before you leave). Winning bets on the player pay 1 to one. Winning bets for tie typically pays out at eight to one but sometimes nine to 1. (This is a bad gamble as ties occur lower than one every 10 hands. Definitely don’t try wagering on a tie. Regardless odds are radically better – nine to 1 versus 8 to one)

When played smartly, baccarat provides relatively decent odds, away from the tie wager ofcourse.

Baccarat Strategy

As with just about all games, Baccarat has some well-known misunderstandings. 1 of which is close to a roulette myth. The past is not a predictor of future events. Keeping track of last results on a chart is simply a total waste of paper and a slap in the face for the tree that gave its life for our stationary needs.

The most common and almost certainly most successful tactic is the one-3-two-six technique. This method is employed to accentuate successes and lowering risk.

start by betting 1 unit. If you win, add one more to the 2 on the table for a total of three on the second bet. If you win you will have six on the table, remove four so you have two on the third wager. If you win the 3rd gamble, add two to the 4 on the table for a total of 6 on the 4th bet.

If you don’t win on the 1st bet, you take a loss of 1. A win on the first bet quickly followed by loss on the 2nd causes 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 3 with a loss on the fourth mean you break even. Attaining a win on all four bets leaves you with 12, a profit of ten. Therefore you can fail to win the 2nd bet 5 times for every successful streak of 4 bets and still break even.
