Baccarat Regulations

Baccarat is played with 8 decks of cards. Cards which are valued under 10 are valued at face value meanwhile 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 individuals; they simply symbolize the two hands to be given out).

2 hands of 2 cards will then be played to the ‘banker’ … ‘player’. The value for each hand is the grand total of the two cards, but the 1st digit is removed. For example, a hand of seven and 5 gives a score of 2 (7plusfive=12; drop the ‘1′).

A 3rd card may be given depending on the following guidelines:

- If the player or banker has a score of eight or nine, both players stand.

- If the gambler has 5 or lower, he hits. bettors stand otherwise.

- If bettor stands, the banker hits of 5 or less. If the bettor hits, a chart will be used to see if the banker stands or hits.

Baccarat Odds

The greater of the 2 scores wins. Successful wagers on the banker pay 19 to twenty (even odds less a five percent commission. Commission is monitored and moved out when you leave the table so make sure to have money left before you leave). Bets on the player that end up winning pay 1 to one. Winning bets for tie usually pays out at eight to one and on occasion nine to one. (This is a crazy bet as ties will happen less than 1 every ten hands. be wary of laying money on a tie. Still, odds are substantially better – nine to one versus eight to one)

Played accurately, baccarat offers pretty good odds, apart from the tie bet ofcourse.

Baccarat Tactics

As with just about every games, Baccarat has some common misconceptions. One of which is very similar to a misconception of roulette. The past is not an actual indicator of future happenings. Tracking of past results on a chart is for sure a total waste of paper and an insult to the tree that gave its life for our stationary needs.

The most common and almost certainly most successful technique is the one-three-two-6 method. This tactic is used to pump up payout and limiting risk.

Begin by wagering 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 6 on the table, clear away 4 so you have 2 on the 3rd gamble. If you win the 3rd wager, add two to the four on the table for a grand total of six on the fourth gamble.

If you don’t win on the initial wager, you take a loss of 1. A win on the 1st bet followed by loss on the 2nd will create a loss of two. Wins on the 1st two with a loss on the third gives you a profit of two. And wins on the first 3 with a loss on the fourth mean you break even. Winning all four bets leaves you with 12, a profit of ten. In other words you can lose the second bet 5 times for every successful streak of four bets and still break even.
