Baccarat Standards
Baccarat is played with eight decks of cards in a shoe. Cards that are valued under ten are give a value of face value whereas 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 gamblers; they just act as the 2 hands to be given out).
Two hands of 2 cards will then be given to the ‘banker’ and ‘player’. The total for each hand will be the sum of the two cards, but the very first digit is dropped. For example, a hand of 7 and 5 gives a tally of two (7plusfive=12; drop the ‘one’).
A 3rd card may be dealt depending on the foll. rules:
- If the player or banker has a tally of 8 or 9, each gamblers stand.
- If the bettor has 5 or lower, he/she hits. Players stand otherwise.
- If bettor stands, the banker hits of five or lower. If the bettor hits, a chart might be used to see if the banker stands or hits.
Baccarat Odds
The greater of the two scores is the winner. Successful stakes on the banker payout nineteen to 20 (even money minus a five % commission. Commission is followed closely and moved out when you leave the table so ensure that you have dollars still before you leave). Winning bets on the player pay 1 to 1. Winning bets for tie usually pays out at eight to 1 and on occasion nine to 1. (This is an awful gamble as ties occur less than one every ten hands. Run away from placing bets on a tie. Regardless odds are decidedly better – nine to 1 vs. 8 to 1)
When played accurately, baccarat presents generally decent odds, apart from the tie bet of course.
Baccarat Strategy
As with all games, Baccarat has some well-known myths. One of which is quite similar to a roulette myth. The past is surely not an indicator of future happenings. Monitoring of historic results on a chart is undoubtedly a total waste of paper as well as a slap in the face for the tree that gave its life for our stationary needs.
The most established and probably most successful strategy is the 1-3-2-6 concept. This tactic is employed to accentuate payout and reducing risk.
start by wagering one 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, subtract four so you have two on the third wager. If you win the 3rd gamble, add two to the 4 on the table for a sum total of six on the fourth bet.
If you lose on the 1st bet, you suck up a loss of one. A win on the 1st bet quickly followed by loss on the second brings about a loss of two. Wins on the 1st two 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. Arriving at a win on all four bets leaves you with 12, a profit of 10. Therefore you can get beaten the second bet 5 times for every successful streak of 4 bets and still break even.
