Rules of Baccarat
Baccarat Protocols
Baccarat is played with eight decks of cards. Cards with less than a value of ten are valued at face value while 10, J, Q, K are 0, and A are each equal to 1. Bets are placed upon the 'banker,' the 'player' or for a tie (these aren't actual individuals; they purely act as the two hands to be played).
Two hands of two cards will now be given out to the 'banker' as well as 'player'. The total for any hand shall be the total of the two cards, but the initial digit is dropped. For example, a hand of seven ... five produces a score of 2 (7plus5=12; drop the 'one').
A 3rd card could be given out depending on the foll. regulations:
- If the player or banker has a total score of 8 or 9, then both players stand.
- If the player has five or less, he/she hits. Players stand otherwise.
- If player stands, the banker hits of five or lower. If the player hits, a chart will be used to ascertain if the banker stands or hits.
Baccarat Odds
The higher of the 2 scores is the winner. Victorious bets on the banker pay out 19 to 20 (even odds minus a five percent commission. Commission is followed closely and paid out when you leave the table so make sure that you have money left before you leave). Bets on the player that end up winning pay 1 to one. Winner bets for tie typically pays 8 to one but occasionally 9 to one. (This is a crazy bet as ties will occur less than 1 every ten hands. Definitely don't try putting money on a tie. Regardless odds are substantially better - 9 to 1 versus eight to one)
Played accurately, baccarat presents fairly good odds, apart from the tie wager of course.
Baccarat Tactics
As with just about every games, Baccarat has some well-known misconceptions. One of which is quite similar to a roulette misconception. The past is in no way an actual indicator of future events. Tracking of last results on a chart is undoubtedly a complete waste of paper as well as an insult to the tree that gave its life for our stationary needs.
The most common and almost certainly most successful strategy is the one-three-2-6 method. This method is employed to magnify profits and controlling risk.
Begin by betting 1 unit. If you win, add one more to the two on the table for a total of three on the second bet. If you win you will have 6 on the table, take away 4 so you have two on the third bet. If you win the 3rd wager, add two to the four on the table for a grand total of 6 on the 4th wager.
If you lose on the initial bet, you take a loss of one. A win on the 1st bet quickly followed by loss on the 2nd 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 3 with a loss on the fourth mean you breakeven. Winning at all four bets leaves you with 12, a profit of ten. This means you can fail to win the second bet 5 times for every successful streak of four bets and still break even.
