Baccarat Rules
Baccarat is played with 8 decks of cards in a shoe. Cards under ten are valued at their printed number meanwhile ten, J, Q, K are 0, and A are each equal to 1. Bets are placed upon the ‘banker,’ the ‘player’ or for a tie (these aren’t actual gamblers; they merely symbolize the two hands to be dealt).
2 hands of 2 cards shall then be given out to the ‘banker’ and ‘player’. The total for every hand will be the total of the two cards, but the very first digit is discarded. For e.g., a hand of 7 … five produces a value of 2 (7plus5=12; drop the ‘1′).
A 3rd card could be given out depending on the foll. standards:
- If the gambler or banker has a total of eight or nine, then both bettors stand.
- If the bettor has five or lower, he/she hits. Players stand otherwise.
- If bettor stands, the banker hits of five or lesser. If the bettor hits, a chart shall be used in order to determine if the banker stands or hits.
Baccarat Odds
The larger of the two scores is the winner. Winning bets on the banker pay at 19 to 20 (even odds less a 5% commission. Commission is kept track of and paid out when you leave the table so make sure that you have funds left over before you leave). Winning bets on the player pay 1 to one. Winning bets for tie as a rule pays out at eight to one and on occasion nine to one. (This is a crazy bet as ties will happen lower than one every 10 hands. Definitely don’t try placing bets on a tie. Nevertheless odds are exceedingly better – 9 to 1 vs. eight to 1)
When done effectively, baccarat presents pretty decent odds, aside from the tie bet obviously.
Baccarat Tactics
As with just about all games, Baccarat has some established false impressions. One of which is very similar to a roulette myth. The past is in no way a predictor of future actions. Tracking of previous conclusions on a chart is for sure a waste of paper … a slap in the face for the tree that gave its life to be used as our stationary.
The most common and possibly most successful strategy is the 1-three-two-six concept. This schema is used to magnify earnings and minimizing risk.
start by wagering 1 unit. If you win, add 1 more to the two on the table for a total of 3 on the 2nd bet. If you win you will have 6 on the table, remove four so you have 2 on the third gamble. If you win the third bet, add two to the four on the table for a value of six on the 4th bet.
If you don’t win on the 1st bet, you take a loss of one. A win on the first bet followed 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 2. And wins on the first three with a loss on the 4th mean you breakeven. A win on all four bets leaves you with 12, a profit of ten. In other words that you can fail to win the second bet 5 times for every successful streak of four bets and still break even.
