Baccarat Protocols
Baccarat is played with eight decks of cards in a shoe. Cards under ten are valued at their printed value while at the same time ten, J, Q, K are 0, and A are each equal to 1. Wagers are placed upon the ‘banker,’ the ‘player’ or for a tie (these aren’t actual players; they simply represent the two hands to be given out).
Two hands of two cards are then played to the ‘banker’ as well as ‘player’. The total for every hand is the grand total of the two cards, but the initial digit is dropped. For eg, a hand of 7 and five results in a score of two (sevenplus5=12; drop the ‘1′).
A 3rd card may be given out depending on the foll. regulations:
- If the bettor or banker has a total score of 8 or nine, each bettors stand.
- If the bettor has five or less, he/she hits. Players stand otherwise.
- If player stands, the banker hits of five or lower. If the player hits, a chart might be used to determine if the banker stands or hits.
Baccarat Odds
The higher of the 2 scores is the winner. Successful wagers on the banker pay out 19 to 20 (even odds less a 5 percent commission. Commission is tracked and moved out when you leave the table so make sure that you have cash remaining before you leave). Bets on the player that end up winning pay 1 to 1. Winner bets for tie normally pay out eight to 1 but sometimes 9 to 1. (This is not a good gamble as ties occur lower than 1 every ten hands. Stay away from putting money on a tie. Still, odds are vastly better – 9 to one versus eight to 1)
Played correctly, baccarat offers generally decent odds, apart from the tie wager obviously.
Baccarat Tactics
As with most games, Baccarat has some established myths. One of which is quite similar to a roulette misconception. The past is never actually a predictor of future actions. Staying abreast of last outcomes on a chart is simply a complete waste of paper … a slap in the face for the tree that gave its life for our stationary needs.
The most established and probably most successful tactic is the one-three-two-6 concept. This technique is deployed to boost winnings and controlling risk.
Begin by wagering one unit. If you win, add 1 more to the two on the table for a total of 3 on the 2nd bet. If you win you will have six on the table, take away four so you have two on the 3rd wager. If you win the 3rd gamble, add 2 to the four on the table for a sum of 6 on the 4th wager.
If you lose on the initial wager, you suck up a loss of one. A win on the first bet followed by loss on the second brings about 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 3 with a loss on the 4th mean you breakeven. Attaining a win on all four bets leaves you with twelve, a profit of 10. Thus that you can lose the second bet 5 times for every successful streak of four bets and still break even.
