Baccarat Standards
Baccarat is played with eight decks of cards. Cards that are valued less than ten are valued at their printed value and on the other hand ten, 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 contenders; they only appear as the two hands to be given out).
Two hands of 2 cards shall then be dealt to the ‘banker’ and ‘player’. The value for any hand will be the grand total of the 2 cards, but the first digit is removed. For eg, a hand of seven and five gives a total of 2 (sevenplus5=12; drop the ‘1′).
A third card might be dealt depending on the following guidelines:
- If the player or banker has a score of 8 or nine, then both players stand.
- If the bettor has five or lower, he/she hits. gamblers stand otherwise.
- If gambler stands, the banker hits of five or less. If the gambler hits, a chart will be used to decide if the banker stands or hits.
Baccarat Odds
The greater of the 2 scores is the winner. Successful wagers on the banker pay nineteen to 20 (even money minus a 5% commission. Commission is tracked and moved out when you leave the table so make sure that you have funds left before you leave). Bets on the player that end up winning pay one to one. Winning bets for tie commonly pays out at 8 to 1 but on occasion 9 to one. (This is an awful wager as ties happen less than one every ten hands. be wary of wagering on a tie. Nonetheless odds are somewhat better – nine to one versus eight to one)
Played properly, baccarat provides pretty good odds, aside from the tie wager of course.
Baccarat Strategy
As with just about all games, Baccarat has some established misconceptions. 1 of which is very similar to a roulette misconception. The past is not a predictor of future results. Monitoring of old results on a chart is undoubtedly a complete 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 technique is the one-three-2-six method. This tactic is used to magnify successes and controlling risk.
Begin by gambling one unit. If you win, add 1 more to the 2 on the table for a total of 3 on the 2nd bet. If you win you will have 6 on the table, take away 4 so you have two on the third wager. If you win the 3rd gamble, add two to the four on the table for a sum of six on the 4th wager.
If you don’t win on the 1st wager, you take a loss of 1. A win on the first bet followed up by loss on the second 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 break even. A win on all four bets leaves you with twelve, a profit of 10. In other words that you can get beaten the 2nd bet 5 times for every successful streak of four bets and still break even.
