Rules of Baccarat


Baccarat Protocols

Baccarat is played with eight decks of cards in a shoe. Cards below a value of 10 are counted at their printed value meanwhile ten, J, Q, K are 0, and A are each applied a value of 1. Bets are placed upon the ‘banker,’ the ‘player’ or for a tie (these aren’t actual people; they just symbolize the two hands to be dealt).

Two hands of two cards are then given to the ‘banker’ and ‘player’. The score for any hand shall be the sum of the two cards, but the very first digit is removed. For e.g., a hand of 7 as well as five will have a value of 2 (sevenplus5=12; drop the ‘one’).

A 3rd card might be dealt depending on the foll. protocols:

- If the gambler or banker has a value of eight or nine, both gamblers stand.

- If the bettor has 5 or lower, he hits. Players stand otherwise.

- If player stands, the banker hits of five or lesser. If the gambler hits, a chart is used to judge if the banker stands or hits.

Baccarat Odds

The greater of the two scores wins. Winning bets on the banker pay at 19 to 20 (even odds minus a five percent commission. Commission is monitored and paid out when you leave the table so make sure you have dollars left over before you leave). Bets on the player that end up winning pay one to one. Winner bets for tie typically pay out 8 to 1 but sometimes 9 to 1. (This is not a good gamble as ties will occur less than 1 every ten hands. be cautious of wagering on a tie. Even so odds are significantlly better – nine to 1 vs. eight to 1)

When done correctly, baccarat provides pretty good odds, aside from the tie wager of course.

Baccarat Strategy

As with just about every games, Baccarat has some established myths. One of which is quite similar to a roulette misconception. The past is in no way an indicator of future actions. Keeping track of past conclusions on a chart is a total waste of paper and a slap in the face for the tree that gave its life to be used as our stationary.

The most established and feasibly most successful method is the one-3-2-6 technique. This method is employed to accentuate earnings and limiting risk.

start by gambling 1 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 six on the table, take away 4 so you have two on the third bet. If you win the third bet, add two to the 4 on the table for a sum of 6 on the fourth wager.

If you don’t win on the initial bet, you take a loss of one. A win on the 1st bet followed up by loss on the second brings about a loss of two. Wins on the 1st 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 break even. Attaining a win on all four bets leaves you with 12, a profit of ten. This means that you can lose the 2nd bet 5 times for every successful streak of four bets and still break even.
