Baccarat Rules
Baccarat is played with eight decks of cards in a shoe. Cards which are valued less than 10 are said to be worth their printed number whereas 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 players; they merely act as the two hands to be dealt).
Two hands of two cards will then be given out to the ‘banker’ as well as ‘player’. The total for any hand will be the grand total of the two cards, but the 1st digit is dumped. For example, a hand of 7 … five gives a score of 2 (sevenplus5=12; drop the ‘1′).
A 3rd card might be played depending on the foll. codes:
- If the bettor or banker has a total of 8 or 9, both players stand.
- If the bettor has five or less, he/she hits. Players stand otherwise.
- If bettor stands, the banker hits of 5 or less. If the player hits, a chart might be used to see if the banker stands or hits.
Baccarat Odds
The bigger of the two scores is the winner. Victorious bets on the banker pay at 19 to 20 (even odds minus a five % commission. Commission is followed closely and moved out when you leave the table so make sure you have cash left over before you leave). Bets on the player that end up winning pay one to 1. Winning bets for tie usually pays 8 to one but on occasion 9 to one. (This is a terrible gamble as ties happen lower than 1 every 10 hands. Run away from betting on a tie. Still, odds are decidedly better – nine to 1 vs. eight to 1)
Played smartly, baccarat offers relatively decent odds, apart from the tie wager ofcourse.
Baccarat Strategy
As with just about every games, Baccarat has some common misunderstandings. 1 of which is close to a roulette misconception. The past is in no way a predictor of future outcomes. Staying abreast of past conclusions on a chart is simply a complete waste of paper as well as an insult to the tree that gave its life for our stationary needs.
The most popular and possibly most successful technique is the 1-3-2-six concept. This plan is employed to magnify successes and cutting back risk.
Begin by gambling one unit. If you win, add 1 more to the 2 on the table for a total of 3 on the second bet. If you win you will have 6 on the table, take away four so you have two on the third wager. If you win the 3rd wager, add 2 to the 4 on the table for a sum total of six on the fourth wager.
If you lose on the 1st bet, you take a loss of one. 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 3rd gives you a profit of 2. And wins on the first 3 with a loss on the 4th mean you breakeven. Coming away with a win on all four bets leaves you with twelve, a profit of 10. This means that you can fail to win the second bet 5 times for every successful streak of 4 bets and still break even.
