Baccarat Standards

Baccarat is played with 8 decks of cards in a shoe. Cards below a value of 10 are counted at their printed number and on the other hand 10, J, Q, K are 0, and A are each given a value of 1. Wagers are placed upon the ‘banker,’ the ‘player’ or for a tie (these aren’t actual people; they merely portray the 2 hands to be dealt).

2 hands of two cards will now be given out to the ‘banker’ … ‘player’. The score for any hand shall be the sum of the 2 cards, but the initial digit is dumped. For eg, a hand of 7 … five will have a score of 2 (7plusfive=12; drop the ‘one’).

A third card could be given out depending on the foll. regulations:

- If the bettor or banker has a score of eight or nine, both players stand.

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

- If bettor stands, the banker hits of five or lesser. If the player hits, a chart will be used in order to judge if the banker stands or hits.

Baccarat Odds

The higher of the two scores will be the winner. Victorious wagers on the banker pay at nineteen to twenty (even odds less a 5 percent commission. Commission is followed closely and cleared out when you leave the table so make sure to have cash remaining before you leave). Bets on the player that end up winning pay 1 to 1. Winner bets for tie as a rule pay out 8 to 1 but sometimes 9 to one. (This is a crazy wager as ties happen less than one every 10 hands. Definitely don’t try placing bets on a tie. Nonetheless odds are especially better – nine to one vs. eight to 1)

Played correctly, baccarat presents pretty decent odds, away from the tie bet of course.

Baccarat Tactics

As with many games, Baccarat has some established false impressions. 1 of which is close to a misconception of roulette. The past is in no way an actual indicator of future happenings. Keeping track of last results on a chart is definitely a complete waste of paper … a slap in the face for the tree that gave its life for our stationary needs.

The most common and probably most successful technique is the one-3-two-six scheme. This technique is deployed to increase payouts and reducing risk.

start by gambling 1 unit. If you win, add one 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, clear away four so you have two on the third wager. If you win the 3rd wager, add 2 to the four on the table for a value of six on the 4th wager.

If you don’t win on the initial bet, you take a loss of 1. A win on the 1st bet quickly followed by loss on the 2nd creates a loss of two. Wins on the first 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. Winning 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.
