Baccarat Procedures

Baccarat is played with eight decks of cards in a shoe. Cards which are of a value less than 10 are give a value of face value meanwhile ten, J, Q, K are 0, and A are each applied a value of 1. Bets are placed upon the ‘banker,’ the ‘player’ or for a tie (these aren’t actual individuals; they purely represent the two hands to be given out).

2 hands of 2 cards will now be given to the ‘banker’ … ‘player’. The total for every hand will be the sum total of the 2 cards, but the first digit is discarded. For eg, a hand of 7 and five gives a value of two (7plus5=twelve; drop the ‘one’).

A 3rd card can be given depending on the foll. standards:

- If the gambler or banker has a value of eight or 9, each bettors stand.

- If the bettor has 5 or lower, he hits. gamblers stand otherwise.

- If bettor stands, the banker hits of 5 or lower. If the gambler hits, a chart will be used to decide if the banker stands or hits.

Baccarat Odds

The higher of the two scores will be the winner. Successful wagers on the banker pay 19 to 20 (even odds less a five percent commission. Commission is kept track of and moved out when you leave the table so ensure that you have dollars left before you leave). Bets on the player that end up winning pay 1 to 1. Winner bets for tie as a rule pay 8 to 1 and on occasion 9 to one. (This is an awful wager as ties will occur less than one every ten hands. Avoid placing bets on a tie. However odds are actually better – nine to one vs. 8 to 1)

When played effectively, baccarat provides pretty decent odds, apart from the tie wager of course.

Baccarat Tactics

As with every games, Baccarat has some established misunderstandings. 1 of which is quite similar to a roulette misconception. The past is in no way a predictor of future events. Monitoring of prior conclusions on a chart is definitely a waste of paper as well as a slap in the face for the tree that gave its life for our stationary needs.

The most established and probably most successful tactic is the 1-three-2-six scheme. This tactic is employed to accentuate payout and limiting risk.

start by gambling one unit. If you win, add one more to the two 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 3rd wager. If you win the 3rd wager, add two to the 4 on the table for a sum total of six on the fourth wager.

If you lose on the first wager, you take a loss of 1. A win on the first bet followed by loss on the second brings about a loss of 2. Wins on the first two with a loss on the 3rd gives you a profit of 2. And wins on the first three with a loss on the 4th mean you break even. Arriving at a win on all four bets leaves you with twelve, a profit of 10. This means that you can get beaten the 2nd bet 5 times for every successful streak of four bets and still break even.
