Baccarat Procedures
Baccarat is played with 8 decks of cards in a shoe. Cards which are valued less than 10 are valued at their printed value while ten, J, Q, K are 0, and A are each equal to 1. Wagers are placed on the ‘banker,’ the ‘player’ or for a tie (these aren’t actual players; they simply act as the 2 hands to be dealt).
2 hands of 2 cards are then given out to the ‘banker’ … ‘player’. The total for every hand shall be the total of the two cards, but the 1st digit is discarded. For example, a hand of seven … 5 produces a total of two (7plus5=12; drop the ‘one’).
A third card can be given out depending on the following rules:
- If the player or banker has a tally of eight or 9, each bettors stand.
- If the gambler has five or lower, he hits. Players stand otherwise.
- If player stands, the banker hits of 5 or less. If the gambler hits, a chart might be used in order to figure if the banker stands or hits.
Baccarat Odds
The greater of the two scores is the winner. Victorious wagers on the banker pay 19 to 20 (even odds less a 5 percent commission. Commission is kept track of and paid out when you leave the table so ensure that you have dollars left before you leave). Bets on the player that end up winning pay one to one. Winner bets for tie normally pay out 8 to one and on occasion 9 to 1. (This is not a good bet as ties will occur lower than 1 every ten hands. be wary of laying money on a tie. Even so odds are significantlly better – nine to one versus eight to one)
Played smartly, baccarat presents pretty good odds, aside from the tie bet of course.
Baccarat Strategy
As with all games, Baccarat has some common misconceptions. One of which is similar to a roulette myth. The past is in no way an indicator of future actions. Monitoring of last results on a chart is undoubtedly a total waste of paper and an insult to the tree that gave its life to be used as our stationary.
The most common and almost certainly most successful method is the one-3-two-6 concept. This plan is deployed to accentuate successes and controlling risk.
start by betting 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, clear away 4 so you have 2 on the third wager. If you win the 3rd gamble, add two to the four on the table for a sum total of 6 on the 4th bet.
If you lose on the 1st wager, you suck up a loss of 1. A win on the 1st bet quickly followed by loss on the second creates a loss of 2. Wins on the first two 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 come out even. Coming out on top on all four bets leaves you with 12, a profit of 10. Therefore you can fail to win the second bet 5 times for every successful streak of 4 bets and still break even.
