Baccarat Regulations

Baccarat is played with eight decks of cards. Cards than are of a value less than 10 are worth face value while 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 contenders; they merely depict the two hands to be dealt).

2 hands of 2 cards shall then be played to the ‘banker’ as well as ‘player’. The score for every hand shall be the sum of the two cards, but the very first digit is dropped. For e.g., a hand of 7 … 5 will have a score of 2 (7plusfive=twelve; drop the ‘1′).

A third card might be given out depending on the following standards:

- If the player or banker has a value of 8 or 9, both bettors stand.

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

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

Baccarat Odds

The greater of the two scores wins. Successful wagers on the banker payout nineteen to twenty (even money minus a 5% commission. Commission is kept track of and paid out when you leave the table so be sure to have cash still before you leave). Winning bets on the player pay one to 1. Winner bets for tie usually pays out at 8 to one but sometimes nine to one. (This is not a good gamble as ties will happen lower than 1 every 10 hands. Run away from laying money on a tie. Nevertheless odds are significantlly better – 9 to 1 vs. 8 to 1)

Played effectively, baccarat presents pretty good odds, away from the tie wager ofcourse.

Baccarat Strategy

As with most games, Baccarat has some well-known false impressions. One of which is quite similar to a roulette misconception. The past is in no way an indicator of future outcomes. Keeping track of previous conclusions on a chart is definitely a waste of paper … a slap in the face for the tree that gave its life to be used as our stationary.

The most commonly used and almost certainly most successful tactic is the one-3-two-six concept. This process is used to accentuate payout and limiting risk.

commence by betting 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 6 on the table, take away four so you have two on the 3rd wager. If you win the 3rd bet, add two to the four on the table for a grand total of six on the 4th gamble.

If you lose on the first bet, you take a loss of one. A win on the first bet followed up by loss on the second creates 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. Attaining a win on all four bets leaves you with 12, a profit of 10. This means that you can fail to win the 2nd bet 5 times for every successful streak of four bets and still break even.
