Baccarat Rules

Baccarat is played with 8 decks of cards. Cards under 10 are give a value of their printed value and on the other hand ten, J, Q, K are 0, and A are each given a value of 1. Wagers are placed on the ‘banker,’ the ‘player’ or for a tie (these aren’t actual gamblers; they just portray the two hands to be dealt).

2 hands of 2 cards will then be dealt to the ‘banker’ … ‘player’. The value for every hand is the sum of the 2 cards, but the first digit is dropped. For e.g., a hand of seven as well as five gives a total score of two (sevenplus5=12; drop the ‘1′).

A third card might be dealt depending on the foll. practices:

- If the gambler or banker has a tally of 8 or 9, both bettors stand.

- If the bettor has five or less, he/she hits. gamblers stand otherwise.

- If player stands, the banker hits of 5 or less. If the bettor hits, a chart shall be used in order to determine if the banker stands or hits.

Baccarat Odds

The greater of the 2 scores will be the winner. Winning wagers on the banker pay nineteen to twenty (even money minus a five percent commission. Commission is monitored and paid out when you leave the table so be sure to have funds left over before you leave). Winning bets on the player pay 1 to one. Winner bets for tie as a rule pay out 8 to one and sometimes 9 to 1. (This is a terrible wager as ties will occur lower than one every ten hands. Definitely don’t try wagering on a tie. However odds are emphatically better – nine to 1 versus 8 to one)

Played correctly, baccarat provides generally good odds, aside from the tie bet of course.

Baccarat Strategy

As with every games, Baccarat has some well-known misunderstandings. 1 of which is very similar to a roulette myth. The past is in no way an actual indicator of future happenings. Tracking of last 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 popular and probably most successful strategy is the 1-3-two-six scheme. This tactic is employed to maximize payout and reducing risk.

start by wagering 1 unit. If you win, add 1 more to the 2 on the table for a total of 3 on the 2nd bet. If you win you will have six on the table, take away four so you have 2 on the third wager. If you win the 3rd wager, add two to the 4 on the table for a grand total of six on the 4th bet.

If you don’t win on the 1st wager, you take a loss of 1. A win on the first bet quickly followed by loss on the 2nd creates a loss of two. Wins on the 1st two with a loss on the 3rd gives you a profit of 2. And wins on the first 3 with a loss on the fourth mean you breakeven. A win on all four bets leaves you with 12, a profit of 10. Thus you can lose the 2nd bet 5 times for every successful streak of four bets and still break even.
