Baccarat Regulations
Baccarat is played with 8 decks of cards. Cards below a value of ten are said to be at their printed value whereas 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 contenders; they just act as the 2 hands to be given out).
Two hands of 2 cards shall then be given to the ‘banker’ … ‘player’. The value for each hand is the sum of the two cards, but the initial digit is dropped. For example, a hand of 7 and 5 produces a score of 2 (7plusfive=twelve; drop the ‘1′).
A third card might be played depending on the foll. guidelines:
- If the bettor or banker has a tally of 8 or nine, then both gamblers stand.
- If the gambler has 5 or lower, he/she hits. gamblers stand otherwise.
- If bettor stands, the banker hits of five or less. If the gambler hits, a chart is used to ascertain if the banker stands or hits.
Baccarat Odds
The larger of the two scores will be the winner. Victorious stakes on the banker pay out nineteen to 20 (even money less a 5% commission. Commission is monitored and paid out when you leave the table so make sure to have dollars remaining before you leave). Bets on the player that end up winning pay 1 to one. Winner bets for tie commonly pay 8 to one but occasionally 9 to one. (This is a terrible bet as ties will happen less than 1 every ten hands. Run away from putting money on a tie. However odds are supremely better – nine to 1 vs. 8 to 1)
When played properly, baccarat provides pretty decent odds, apart from the tie wager of course.
Baccarat Tactics
As with just about all games, Baccarat has some common misconceptions. One of which is similar to a misconception of roulette. The past is not a predictor of future happenings. Staying abreast of previous results on a chart is a waste of paper as well as a slap in the face for the tree that gave its life for our stationary needs.
The most common and feasibly most successful technique is the 1-3-two-6 technique. This tactic is used to magnify earnings and minimizing risk.
start by betting one unit. If you win, add 1 more to the 2 on the table for a total of three on the 2nd 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 third wager, add two to the 4 on the table for a sum of 6 on the fourth gamble.
If you lose on the 1st bet, you suck up a loss of 1. A win on the first bet quickly followed by loss on the 2nd causes a loss of two. Wins on the first two with a loss on the 3rd gives you a profit of 2. And wins on the first 3 with a loss on the 4th mean you come out even. Coming out on top on all four bets leaves you with 12, a profit of 10. In other words you can get beaten the 2nd bet 5 times for every successful streak of four bets and still break even.
