Baccarat Protocols
Baccarat is played with 8 decks of cards in a shoe. Cards under 10 are counted at their printed number while 10, J, Q, K are 0, and A are each equal to 1. Wagers are placed upon the ‘banker,’ the ‘player’ or for a tie (these aren’t actual persons; they only portray the 2 hands to be given out).
2 hands of 2 cards are then given to the ‘banker’ and ‘player’. The value for any hand will be the sum of the two cards, but the very first digit is discarded. For e.g., a hand of seven and 5 results in a value of two (7plusfive=twelve; drop the ‘one’).
A 3rd card can be given out depending on the foll. practices:
- If the gambler or banker has a total of 8 or 9, then both bettors stand.
- If the bettor has 5 or lower, he hits. Players stand otherwise.
- If bettor stands, the banker hits of five or less. If the gambler hits, a chart is used in order to decide if the banker stands or hits.
Baccarat Odds
The greater of the two scores will be the winner. Victorious bets on the banker pay at nineteen to twenty (even money less a 5% commission. Commission is followed closely and paid out when you leave the table so ensure that you have money still before you leave). Winning bets on the player pay 1 to one. Winning bets for tie customarily pay out eight to 1 and occasionally nine to one. (This is not a good gamble as ties will happen less than 1 every ten hands. Stay away from wagering on a tie. However odds are actually better – nine to one versus 8 to 1)
When played correctly, baccarat provides generally decent odds, apart from the tie bet ofcourse.
Baccarat Tactics
As with every games, Baccarat has some established misunderstandings. One of which is similar to a roulette myth. The past is never actually an actual indicator of future results. Tracking of historic conclusions on a chart is undoubtedly a total waste of paper … an insult to the tree that gave its life to be used as our stationary.
The most commonly used and possibly most successful technique is the one-three-2-six method. This process is used to pump up profits and controlling risk.
Begin by betting one unit. If you win, add one more to the two on the table for a total of three on the 2nd bet. If you win you will have 6 on the table, clear away 4 so you have two on the 3rd gamble. If you win the 3rd bet, add 2 to the 4 on the table for a value of 6 on the fourth bet.
If you don’t win on the initial bet, you suck up a loss of 1. A win on the first bet followed up by loss on the second causes a loss of two. Wins on the first 2 with a loss on the third gives you a profit of two. And wins on the first three with a loss on the 4th mean you break even. Winning all four bets leaves you with 12, a profit of ten. This means that you can get beaten the 2nd bet 5 times for every successful streak of four bets and still break even.
