Baccarat Rules
Baccarat Standards
Baccarat is played with 8 decks of cards in a shoe. Cards that are valued under 10 are said to be at their printed value whereas 10, J, Q, K are 0, and A are each applied a value of 1. Wagers are placed upon the 'banker,' the 'player' or for a tie (these aren't actual persons; they only symbolize the 2 hands to be played).
Two hands of two cards shall then be given to the 'banker' as well as 'player'. The value for each hand shall be the sum of the two cards, but the very first digit is dropped. For e.g., a hand of 7 and 5 produces a total score of two (sevenplus5=12; drop the 'one').
A third card can be played depending on the foll. practices:
- If the gambler or banker has a total score of 8 or 9, 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 lesser. If the player hits, a chart might be used to judge if the banker stands or hits.
Baccarat Odds
The higher of the 2 scores will be the winner. Victorious bets on the banker pay 19 to twenty (even money less a five percent commission. Commission is tracked and paid out when you leave the table so make sure to have cash still before you leave). Bets on the player that end up winning pay one to 1. Winner bets for tie usually pay out 8 to 1 but on occasion nine to one. (This is an awful gamble as ties occur lower than 1 every 10 hands. Avoid wagering on a tie. Even so odds are decidedly better - 9 to one vs. eight to 1)
When played correctly, baccarat provides fairly good odds, apart from the tie wager ofcourse.
Baccarat Strategy
As with most games, Baccarat has some common misconceptions. 1 of which is quite similar to a roulette misconception. The past is never actually an indicator of future events. Tracking of past outcomes on a chart is definitely a total waste of paper and a slap in the face for the tree that gave its life for our stationary needs.
The most popular and possibly most successful method is the 1-three-two-six method. This method is used to build up wins and cutting back risk.
commence by wagering one unit. If you win, add 1 more to the two on the table for a total of 3 on the second bet. If you win you will have six on the table, remove four so you have two on the third bet. If you win the third gamble, add two to the 4 on the table for a value of 6 on the 4th bet.
If you lose on the 1st bet, you suck up a loss of one. A win on the first bet followed up by loss on the 2nd will create a loss of 2. Wins on the 1st two with a loss on the 3rd gives you a profit of 2. And wins on the first three with a loss on the 4th mean you breakeven. Winning at all four bets leaves you with 12, a profit of ten. Thus you can get beaten the second bet 5 times for every successful streak of four bets and still break even.
