Baccarat Regulations

Baccarat is played with eight decks of cards. Cards than are of a value less than 10 are of their printed value while 10, J, Q, K are 0, and A are each applied a value of 1. Bets are placed on the ‘banker,’ the ‘player’ or for a tie (these aren’t actual people; they just depict the 2 hands to be given out).

Two hands of 2 cards are then played to the ‘banker’ … ‘player’. The total for every hand will be the total of the two cards, but the 1st digit is discarded. For example, a hand of 7 … 5 results in a total of two (sevenplus5=twelve; drop the ‘1′).

A third card can be given depending on the following regulations:

- If the bettor or banker has a tally of 8 or 9, then both gamblers stand.

- If the player has 5 or less, he/she hits. Players stand otherwise.

- If player stands, the banker hits of 5 or lesser. If the player hits, a chart is used to determine if the banker stands or hits.

Baccarat Odds

The larger of the two scores will be the winner. Winning stakes on the banker pay at nineteen to twenty (even money less a five % commission. Commission is followed closely and moved out when you leave the table so make sure that you have cash still before you leave). Winning bets on the player pay one to 1. Winner bets for tie commonly pays 8 to 1 and on occasion 9 to one. (This is not a good gamble as ties will occur less than one every 10 hands. Definitely don’t try betting on a tie. Regardless odds are vastly better – 9 to one vs. eight to one)

When played correctly, baccarat presents pretty good odds, aside from the tie wager obviously.

Baccarat Strategy

As with many games, Baccarat has some well-known misconceptions. 1 of which is close to a misconception of roulette. The past is not an indicator of future outcomes. Tracking of past outcomes on a chart is a total waste of paper … a slap in the face for the tree that gave its life for our stationary needs.

The most accepted and possibly most successful method is the 1-three-2-six method. This process is deployed to maximize wins and controlling risk.

commence by betting 1 unit. If you win, add 1 more to the two on the table for a total of three on the 2nd bet. If you win you will have six on the table, clear away four so you have 2 on the third gamble. If you win the third wager, add 2 to the 4 on the table for a total of 6 on the 4th wager.

If you don’t win on the 1st bet, you take a loss of one. A win on the first bet quickly followed by loss on the 2nd brings about a loss of two. Wins on the first 2 with a loss on the 3rd gives you a profit of 2. And wins on the first 3 with a loss on the 4th mean you come out even. Winning all four bets leaves you with twelve, a profit of 10. Therefore you can get beaten the 2nd bet 5 times for every successful streak of four bets and still break even.
