Baccarat Standards
Baccarat is played with eight decks of cards. Cards valued less than ten are valued at their printed value while 10, J, Q, K are 0, and A are each equal to 1. Bets are placed upon the ‘banker,’ the ‘player’ or for a tie (these aren’t actual gamblers; they strictly portray the 2 hands to be played).
Two hands of 2 cards will then be dealt to the ‘banker’ and ‘player’. The total for every hand will be the sum total of the two cards, but the initial digit is removed. For eg, a hand of seven as well as 5 will have a value of two (sevenplusfive=12; drop the ‘1′).
A 3rd card might be given out depending on the following codes:
- If the player or banker has a total score of eight or nine, the two players stand.
- If the player has 5 or lower, he/she hits. Players stand otherwise.
- If gambler stands, the banker hits of 5 or lesser. If the player hits, a chart is used to ascertain if the banker stands or hits.
Baccarat Odds
The larger of the 2 scores will be the winner. Winning stakes on the banker pay out nineteen to twenty (even odds less a 5% commission. Commission is followed closely and cleared out when you leave the table so make sure you have funds left over before you leave). Winning bets on the player pay 1 to one. Winning bets for tie usually pays out at eight to one but occasionally nine to one. (This is a terrible bet as ties occur less than 1 every ten hands. be wary of wagering on a tie. However odds are considerably better – 9 to 1 versus eight to one)
When done properly, baccarat offers relatively decent odds, apart from the tie wager of course.
Baccarat Strategy
As with most games, Baccarat has some well-known myths. 1 of which is very similar to a roulette misconception. The past is surely not a predictor of future results. Staying abreast of prior conclusions on a chart is a complete waste of paper … an insult to the tree that gave its life for our stationary needs.
The most common and probably most successful method is the one-three-2-6 concept. This schema is used to increase wins and cutting back risk.
Begin by gambling 1 unit. If you win, add one more to the 2 on the table for a total of 3 on the 2nd bet. If you win you will have 6 on the table, take away 4 so you have two on the 3rd bet. If you win the third gamble, add two to the 4 on the table for a total of six on the 4th gamble.
If you lose on the 1st wager, you take a loss of one. A win on the 1st bet followed up by loss on the second causes a loss of 2. 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 fourth mean you come out even. Winning all four bets leaves you with 12, a profit of ten. In other words that you can lose the second bet 5 times for every successful streak of 4 bets and still break even.
