Baccarat Procedures
Baccarat is played with eight decks of cards in a shoe. Cards under ten are counted at 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 people; they merely depict the two hands to be dealt).
2 hands of 2 cards will then be given out to the ‘banker’ and ‘player’. The total for any hand is the sum total of the two cards, but the 1st digit is removed. For e.g., a hand of seven and five will have a score of two (sevenplusfive=twelve; drop the ‘one’).
A third card could be given depending on the following practices:
- If the gambler or banker has a tally of 8 or 9, each gamblers stand.
- If the player has 5 or less, he/she hits. bettors stand otherwise.
- If player stands, the banker hits of 5 or lesser. If the gambler hits, a chart is used to see if the banker stands or hits.
Baccarat Odds
The greater of the two scores is the winner. Victorious wagers on the banker pay out nineteen to twenty (even money less a 5 percent commission. Commission is followed closely and paid out when you leave the table so ensure you have funds left before you leave). Winning bets on the player pay 1 to 1. Winner bets for tie normally pays 8 to 1 but occasionally 9 to one. (This is not a good gamble as ties will happen lower than one every 10 hands. Run away from wagering on a tie. However odds are generously better – nine to 1 versus eight to one)
When played smartly, baccarat provides relatively decent odds, apart from the tie bet of course.
Baccarat Tactics
As with all games, Baccarat has some common false impressions. One of which is similar to a roulette myth. The past is surely not a predictor of future events. Monitoring of historic results on a chart is for sure a waste of paper as well as a slap in the face for the tree that gave its life to be used as our stationary.
The most common and probably most successful strategy is the one-3-2-6 method. This scheme is employed to build up successes and minimizing risk.
start by gambling 1 unit. If you win, add one more to the 2 on the table for a total of three on the 2nd bet. If you win you will have 6 on the table, take away four so you have 2 on the third gamble. If you win the 3rd wager, add 2 to the 4 on the table for a sum total of six on the fourth bet.
If you lose on the 1st bet, you take a loss of one. A win on the first bet quickly followed by loss on the 2nd brings about a loss of two. Wins on the first 2 with a loss on the 3rd gives you a profit of 2. And wins on the first three with a loss on the fourth mean you come out even. Getting a win on all four bets leaves you with 12, a profit of ten. Thus you can fail to win the 2nd bet 5 times for every successful streak of four bets and still break even.
