Baccarat Regulations
Baccarat is played with eight decks of cards. Cards under ten are said to be worth their printed value 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 players; they just represent the two hands to be given out).
2 hands of 2 cards are then played to the ‘banker’ … ‘player’. The total for each hand is the sum total of the 2 cards, but the first digit is discarded. For example, a hand of 7 … 5 has a value of two (7plus5=twelve; drop the ‘1′).
A third card may be dealt depending on the foll. rules:
- If the bettor or banker has a total score of 8 or nine, then both gamblers stand.
- If the gambler has 5 or less, he/she hits. gamblers stand otherwise.
- If bettor stands, the banker hits of 5 or less. If the player hits, a chart will be used in order to see if the banker stands or hits.
Baccarat Odds
The greater of the 2 scores wins. Victorious stakes on the banker pay out 19 to twenty (even money minus a five percent commission. Commission is tracked and moved out when you leave the table so make sure you have $$$$$ remaining before you leave). Winning bets on the player pay one to 1. Winner bets for tie typically pay 8 to 1 and occasionally nine to one. (This is a crazy gamble as ties occur lower than one every ten hands. Run away from placing bets on a tie. Even so odds are exceedingly better – nine to 1 vs. eight to 1)
When done correctly, baccarat provides pretty good odds, aside from the tie bet of course.
Baccarat Tactics
As with most games, Baccarat has some common misunderstandings. One of which is quite similar to a roulette myth. The past is not a predictor of future happenings. Tracking of old conclusions on a chart is simply a waste of paper … an insult to the tree that gave its life to be used as our stationary.
The most popular and almost certainly most successful tactic is the one-3-2-six technique. This scheme is employed to pump up payouts and limiting risk.
start by betting one unit. If you win, add one more to the two on the table for a total of 3 on the second bet. If you win you will have 6 on the table, take away 4 so you have two on the third gamble. If you win the third wager, add two to the four on the table for a value of 6 on the fourth bet.
If you don’t win on the first wager, you suck up a loss of 1. A win on the 1st bet followed up by loss on the 2nd causes 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 breakeven. Coming away with a win on all four bets leaves you with 12, a profit of 10. In other words you can fail to win the second bet 5 times for every successful streak of four bets and still break even.
