Baccarat Rules

Baccarat is played with 8 decks of cards. Cards which are valued under ten are worth their printed number while at the same time 10, J, Q, K are 0, and A are each given a value of 1. Wagers are placed on the ‘banker,’ the ‘player’ or for a tie (these aren’t actual persons; they purely act as the 2 hands to be dealt).

2 hands of 2 cards shall then be given out to the ‘banker’ and ‘player’. The total for each hand shall be the grand total of the 2 cards, but the 1st digit is dumped. For eg, a hand of 7 and 5 results in a score of two (7plusfive=12; drop the ‘1′).

A third card can be given depending on the following guidelines:

- If the bettor or banker has a score of 8 or nine, the two bettors stand.

- If the bettor has five or less, he hits. Players stand otherwise.

- If gambler stands, the banker hits of 5 or less. If the bettor hits, a chart shall be used in order to determine if the banker stands or hits.

Baccarat Odds

The greater of the two scores is the winner. Successful stakes on the banker pay out 19 to twenty (even odds minus a 5% commission. Commission is kept track of and paid out when you leave the table so make sure that you have $$$$$ still before you leave). Winning bets on the player pay 1 to one. Winning bets for tie by and large pay eight to one and on occasion nine to 1. (This is not a good bet as ties occur lower than 1 every 10 hands. Avoid placing bets on a tie. Even so odds are especially better – 9 to 1 vs. eight to one)

When played accurately, baccarat offers relatively good odds, apart from the tie wager of course.

Baccarat Tactics

As with every games, Baccarat has some established misconceptions. 1 of which is close to a roulette myth. The past is surely not an actual indicator of future actions. Keeping track of historic results on a chart is a waste of paper … an insult to the tree that gave its life for our stationary needs.

The most accepted and feasibly most successful technique is the 1-three-2-6 concept. This schema is employed to build up wins and lowering risk.

commence by betting one 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 six on the table, remove 4 so you have two on the third gamble. If you win the third bet, add 2 to the 4 on the table for a total of 6 on the fourth bet.

If you don’t win on the 1st bet, you take a loss of 1. A win on the first bet quickly followed by loss on the second creates a loss of 2. Wins on the first 2 with a loss on the third gives you a profit of two. And wins on the first three with a loss on the fourth mean you come out even. Winning at all four bets leaves you with twelve, a profit of 10. In other words that you can get beaten the second bet 5 times for every successful streak of four bets and still break even.
