Baccarat Procedures

Baccarat is played with eight decks of cards in a shoe. Cards which are valued less than 10 are said to be worth face value meanwhile ten, J, Q, K are 0, and A are each given a value of 1. Bets are placed upon the ‘banker,’ the ‘player’ or for a tie (these aren’t actual players; they strictly appear as the 2 hands to be played).

Two hands of two cards will now be dealt to the ‘banker’ and ‘player’. The score for every hand shall be the sum of the 2 cards, but the 1st digit is discarded. For e.g., a hand of 7 … five has a tally of 2 (sevenplusfive=twelve; drop the ‘1′).

A third card might be given out depending on the following standards:

- If the bettor or banker has a score of eight or 9, the two gamblers stand.

- If the gambler has 5 or lower, he hits. Players stand otherwise.

- If bettor stands, the banker hits of five or lesser. If the bettor hits, a chart is used in order to judge if the banker stands or hits.

Baccarat Odds

The higher of the 2 scores is the winner. Winning wagers on the banker pay nineteen to 20 (even money less a five % commission. Commission is followed closely and moved out when you leave the table so make sure you have money left before you leave). Winning bets on the player pay one to 1. Winning bets for tie as a rule pays out at 8 to 1 but occasionally nine to 1. (This is an awful gamble as ties will happen lower than 1 every ten hands. Stay away from betting on a tie. Even so odds are substantially better – nine to one vs. eight to 1)

When played smartly, baccarat presents relatively good odds, away from the tie wager ofcourse.

Baccarat Tactics

As with all games, Baccarat has some established misconceptions. One of which is similar to a roulette misconception. The past is in no way an indicator of future actions. Keeping track of last results on a chart is undoubtedly a waste of paper as well as a slap in the face for the tree that gave its life to be used as our stationary.

The most common and almost certainly most successful method is the 1-3-2-6 scheme. This method is used to amplify earnings and lowering risk.

Begin by betting 1 unit. If you win, add 1 more to the 2 on the table for a total of three on the second bet. If you win you will have six on the table, take away four so you have 2 on the third bet. If you win the 3rd wager, add 2 to the 4 on the table for a value of 6 on the 4th bet.

If you lose on the initial wager, you suck up a loss of 1. A win on the 1st bet followed up by loss on the 2nd will create 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. Accomplishing a win on all four bets leaves you with 12, a profit of 10. This means you can get beaten the second bet 5 times for every successful streak of 4 bets and still break even.
