Baccarat Policies

Baccarat is played with eight decks of cards in a shoe. Cards with less than a value of ten are of their printed value meanwhile 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 people; they purely symbolize the two hands to be dealt).

Two hands of two cards are then dealt to the ‘banker’ … ‘player’. The value for any hand will be the sum of the two cards, but the very first digit is removed. For e.g., a hand of seven and five will have a total of 2 (7plus5=12; drop the ‘one’).

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

- If the bettor or banker has a total score of 8 or nine, each bettors stand.

- If the gambler has 5 or lower, he hits. Players stand otherwise.

- If player stands, the banker hits of five or less. If the gambler hits, a chart shall be used in order to ascertain if the banker stands or hits.

Baccarat Odds

The bigger of the 2 scores will be the winner. Successful wagers on the banker pay at nineteen to twenty (even money less a 5% commission. Commission is tracked and cleared out when you leave the table so make sure to have money still before you leave). Bets on the player that end up winning pay one to 1. Winner bets for tie customarily pay 8 to 1 but occasionally nine to one. (This is a terrible gamble as ties occur less than 1 every ten hands. Definitely don’t try placing bets on a tie. Even so odds are appreciably better – 9 to one vs. 8 to 1)

Played properly, baccarat provides pretty decent odds, aside from the tie bet ofcourse.

Baccarat Strategy

As with just about every games, Baccarat has some established misconceptions. One of which is close to a roulette misconception. The past is in no way an actual indicator of future actions. Tracking of historic outcomes on a chart is definitely a total waste of paper as well as an insult to the tree that gave its life to be used as our stationary.

The most commonly used and possibly most successful tactic is the 1-3-2-six concept. This method is deployed to accentuate payout and controlling risk.

start by gambling 1 unit. If you win, add 1 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, subtract 4 so you have two on the third bet. If you win the third wager, add 2 to the 4 on the table for a sum of 6 on the fourth wager.

If you lose on the first bet, you suck up a loss of 1. A win on the 1st bet followed by loss on the 2nd will create a loss of 2. Wins on the 1st 2 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 come out even. Coming out on top on all four bets leaves you with 12, a profit of 10. In other words you can lose the 2nd bet 5 times for every successful streak of four bets and still break even.
