Baccarat Protocols

Baccarat is played with eight decks of cards. Cards which are valued less than 10 are said to be at their printed value whereas 10, J, Q, K are 0, and A are each applied a value of 1. Wagers are placed upon the ‘banker,’ the ‘player’ or for a tie (these aren’t actual gamblers; they just portray the 2 hands to be played).

2 hands of two cards will then be dealt to the ‘banker’ as well as ‘player’. The total for any hand shall be the sum total of the 2 cards, but the 1st digit is removed. For example, a hand of 7 and 5 gives a total of two (sevenplus5=twelve; drop the ‘1′).

A 3rd card can be given out depending on the following practices:

- If the player or banker has a value of eight or nine, both bettors stand.

- If the gambler has 5 or less, he hits. gamblers stand otherwise.

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

Baccarat Odds

The bigger of the 2 scores is the winner. Victorious stakes on the banker pay out 19 to 20 (even money minus a five percent commission. Commission is monitored and cleared out when you leave the table so make sure that you have $$$$$ left over before you leave). Winning bets on the player pay 1 to one. Winning bets for tie generally pays out at eight to one but occasionally nine to one. (This is a bad gamble as ties happen less than 1 every 10 hands. be wary of placing bets on a tie. Even so odds are noticeably better – nine to 1 vs. eight to 1)

When played smartly, baccarat presents relatively good odds, apart from the tie wager of course.

Baccarat Strategy

As with just about all games, Baccarat has some well-known misconceptions. One of which is similar to a roulette misconception. The past is not an actual indicator of future events. Tracking of last conclusions on a chart is undoubtedly a complete 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 strategy is the one-3-2-6 technique. This schema is employed to accentuate winnings and reducing risk.

start by wagering 1 unit. If you win, add 1 more to the two on the table for a total of three on the second bet. If you win you will have 6 on the table, clear away 4 so you have 2 on the 3rd bet. If you win the 3rd gamble, add two to the four on the table for a value of six on the fourth gamble.

If you lose on the first bet, you suck up a loss of 1. A win on the first bet quickly followed by loss on the second creates a loss of 2. Wins on the first two with a loss on the third gives you a profit of two. And wins on the first 3 with a loss on the fourth mean you break even. Coming out on top on all four bets leaves you with 12, a profit of ten. This means you can get beaten the 2nd bet 5 times for every successful streak of four bets and still break even.
