Baccarat Protocols

Baccarat is played with 8 decks of cards. Cards which are valued less than 10 are valued at their printed value whereas ten, J, Q, K are 0, and A are each applied a value of 1. Bets are placed upon the ‘banker,’ the ‘player’ or for a tie (these aren’t actual gamblers; they simply appear as the 2 hands to be given out).

2 hands of two cards will now be played to the ‘banker’ and ‘player’. The score for any hand will be the total of the 2 cards, but the very first digit is discarded. For example, a hand of seven … 5 produces a value of 2 (7plus5=12; drop the ‘one’).

A 3rd card can be dealt depending on the following standards:

- If the player or banker has a total of 8 or nine, both players stand.

- If the player has 5 or less, he hits. Players stand otherwise.

- If gambler stands, the banker hits of five or lesser. If the gambler hits, a chart is used to determine if the banker stands or hits.

Baccarat Odds

The bigger of the 2 scores wins. Successful wagers on the banker payout 19 to twenty (even money minus a 5 percent commission. Commission is kept track of and moved out when you leave the table so ensure that you have $$$$$ remaining before you leave). Bets on the player that end up winning pay 1 to 1. Winning bets for tie as a rule pays eight to 1 but on occasion nine to 1. (This is a bad wager as ties occur lower than one every 10 hands. be wary of putting money on a tie. Nonetheless odds are richly better – nine to one vs. 8 to one)

When played correctly, baccarat offers fairly good odds, apart from the tie wager ofcourse.

Baccarat Strategy

As with many games, Baccarat has some common misconceptions. One of which is similar to a misconception of roulette. The past is surely not a predictor of future actions. Monitoring of historic conclusions on a chart is a total waste of paper and a slap in the face for the tree that gave its life to be used as our stationary.

The most common and almost certainly most successful tactic is the one-3-two-six concept. This schema is employed to build up earnings and reducing risk.

start by wagering 1 unit. If you win, add 1 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, clear away 4 so you have two on the third gamble. If you win the 3rd bet, add two to the four on the table for a value of 6 on the fourth wager.

If you don’t win on the 1st bet, you take a loss of 1. A win on the 1st bet followed by loss on the second will create a loss of 2. Wins on the 1st 2 with a loss on the third gives you a profit of 2. And wins on the first three with a loss on the fourth mean you come out even. Attaining a win on all four bets leaves you with 12, a profit of 10. Therefore that you can lose the 2nd bet 5 times for every successful streak of four bets and still break even.
