Baccarat Protocols

Baccarat is played with eight decks of cards in a shoe. Cards with less than a value of 10 are of their printed number while at the same time ten, J, Q, K are 0, and A are each applied a value of 1. Wagers are placed upon the ‘banker,’ the ‘player’ or for a tie (these aren’t actual people; they only depict the 2 hands to be given out).

Two hands of 2 cards will now be dealt to the ‘banker’ … ‘player’. The total for any hand will be the total of the 2 cards, but the first digit is dumped. For e.g., a hand of seven and 5 has a tally of 2 (sevenplus5=12; drop the ‘one’).

A 3rd card could be given depending on the following rules:

- If the player or banker has a value of eight or nine, both gamblers stand.

- If the player has five or lower, he/she hits. bettors stand otherwise.

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

Baccarat Odds

The higher of the two scores will be the winner. Winning stakes on the banker payout 19 to twenty (even money minus a five % commission. Commission is monitored and moved out when you leave the table so be sure to have $$$$$ left over before you leave). Bets on the player that end up winning pay 1 to 1. Winning bets for tie normally pays 8 to 1 and sometimes 9 to one. (This is not a good wager as ties will occur lower than 1 every ten hands. be cautious of putting money on a tie. Nevertheless odds are considerably better – nine to 1 versus eight to one)

Played effectively, baccarat provides generally decent odds, away from the tie bet obviously.

Baccarat Strategy

As with most games, Baccarat has some established misconceptions. One of which is close to a roulette myth. The past is in no way an indicator of future events. Keeping track of past conclusions on a chart is simply a waste of paper … a slap in the face for the tree that gave its life for our stationary needs.

The most accepted and feasibly most successful strategy is the 1-three-2-six method. This scheme is deployed to build up payout and limiting risk.

Begin by betting 1 unit. If you win, add 1 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, clear away 4 so you have 2 on the 3rd gamble. If you win the third bet, add 2 to the 4 on the table for a total of six on the 4th bet.

If you lose on the 1st wager, you take a loss of 1. A win on the 1st bet followed up by loss on the 2nd causes a loss of two. Wins on the 1st 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 break even. Arriving at a win on all four bets leaves you with 12, a profit of ten. Thus you can lose the second bet 5 times for every successful streak of four bets and still break even.
