Baccarat Policies

Baccarat is played with 8 decks of cards. Cards which are valued under ten are said to be worth their printed value while 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 gamblers; they just depict the two hands to be dealt).

Two hands of 2 cards will now be given out to the ‘banker’ as well as ‘player’. The total for each hand is the total of the two cards, but the 1st digit is dropped. For example, a hand of 7 … five gives a score of 2 (7plus5=12; drop the ‘one’).

A third card could be played depending on the following regulations:

- If the gambler or banker has a total of eight or 9, both bettors stand.

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

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

Baccarat Odds

The greater of the two scores wins. Successful stakes on the banker pay out 19 to 20 (even money minus a 5% commission. Commission is followed closely and moved out when you leave the table so ensure you have money left before you leave). Winning bets on the player pay 1 to 1. Winning bets for tie customarily pay out eight to one but occasionally 9 to 1. (This is an awful gamble as ties will occur less than 1 every ten hands. Avoid betting on a tie. Nonetheless odds are considerably better – nine to one vs. 8 to 1)

When done effectively, baccarat provides pretty good odds, away from the tie wager obviously.

Baccarat Strategy

As with just about all games, Baccarat has some well-known false impressions. 1 of which is close to a misconception of roulette. The past is in no way an actual indicator of future events. Tracking of previous conclusions on a chart is undoubtedly a complete waste of paper … an insult to the tree that gave its life to be used as our stationary.

The most common and probably most successful method is the 1-3-two-6 scheme. This process is employed to magnify winnings and controlling risk.

Begin by betting one unit. If you win, add one 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, subtract 4 so you have 2 on the 3rd gamble. If you win the third gamble, add two to the four on the table for a value of six on the fourth bet.

If you don’t win on the initial bet, you take a loss of one. A win on the first bet quickly followed by loss on the 2nd 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 4th mean you come out even. Getting a win on all four bets leaves you with 12, a profit of ten. In other words that you can lose the 2nd bet 5 times for every successful streak of four bets and still break even.
