Baccarat Standards

Baccarat is played with eight decks of cards. Cards that are valued less than 10 are counted at their printed number meanwhile ten, J, Q, K are 0, and A are each given a value of 1. Bets are placed on the ‘banker,’ the ‘player’ or for a tie (these aren’t actual people; they only act as the two hands to be dealt).

2 hands of 2 cards shall then be given to the ‘banker’ as well as ‘player’. The score for any hand shall be the grand total of the two cards, but the first digit is dropped. For example, a hand of seven and 5 produces a total of two (7plusfive=12; drop the ‘1′).

A 3rd card may be played depending on the following standards:

- If the player or banker has a total of eight or 9, the two gamblers stand.

- If the bettor has five or less, he/she hits. bettors stand otherwise.

- If gambler stands, the banker hits of five or less. If the player hits, a chart is used in order to see if the banker stands or hits.

Baccarat Odds

The larger of the 2 scores wins. Victorious stakes on the banker pay nineteen to twenty (even odds minus a 5% commission. Commission is monitored and moved out when you leave the table so ensure you have $$$$$ remaining before you leave). Bets on the player that end up winning pay 1 to one. Winner bets for tie as a rule pay out eight to one and occasionally nine to 1. (This is a crazy bet as ties happen lower than one every ten hands. Stay away from putting money on a tie. Still, odds are thoroughly better – 9 to one vs. 8 to 1)

Played effectively, baccarat provides relatively decent odds, aside from the tie wager of course.

Baccarat Tactics

As with many games, Baccarat has some well-known misunderstandings. One of which is very similar to a roulette misconception. The past is never actually an indicator of future results. Monitoring of previous outcomes on a chart is a waste of paper and a slap in the face for the tree that gave its life to be used as our stationary.

The most commonly used and possibly most successful tactic is the one-3-two-6 method. This scheme is deployed to boost payout and limiting risk.

start by betting 1 unit. If you win, add 1 more to the 2 on the table for a total of 3 on the second bet. If you win you will have 6 on the table, remove 4 so you have two on the 3rd bet. If you win the 3rd wager, add two to the four on the table for a value of 6 on the 4th gamble.

If you don’t win on the initial bet, you take a loss of one. A win on the first bet followed up by loss on the second causes a loss of two. Wins on the first two with a loss on the 3rd gives you a profit of two. And wins on the first three with a loss on the 4th mean you come out even. Coming away with a win on all four bets leaves you with 12, a profit of 10. Thus you can lose the 2nd bet 5 times for every successful streak of 4 bets and still break even.
