Baccarat Rules

Baccarat Standards

Baccarat is played with eight decks of cards. Cards of a value less than 10 are worth their printed value and on the other hand 10, J, Q, K are 0, and A are each equal to 1. Wagers are placed on the ‘banker,’ the ‘player’ or for a tie (these aren’t actual gamblers; they simply depict the 2 hands to be dealt).

Two hands of two cards will then be dealt to the ‘banker’ as well as ‘player’. The total for every hand will be the grand total of the two cards, but the first digit is removed. For example, a hand of 7 … 5 will have a tally of 2 (7plus5=12; drop the ‘one’).

A 3rd card might be given out depending on the following codes:

- If the player or banker has a value of eight or nine, then both gamblers stand.

- If the player has five or lower, he hits. Players stand otherwise.

- If bettor stands, the banker hits of 5 or less. If the player hits, a chart might be used in order to determine if the banker stands or hits.

Baccarat Odds

The larger of the two scores wins. Successful wagers on the banker payout 19 to twenty (even odds less a five percent commission. Commission is tracked and moved out when you leave the table so make sure you have $$$$$ still before you leave). Bets on the player that end up winning pay one to 1. Winning bets for tie as a rule pay 8 to one and sometimes 9 to one. (This is not a good gamble as ties occur less than 1 every 10 hands. Definitely don’t try placing bets on a tie. Nonetheless odds are remarkably better – 9 to 1 vs. 8 to 1)

When played correctly, baccarat offers pretty good odds, apart from the tie wager of course.

Baccarat Strategy

As with just about every games, Baccarat has some common misconceptions. One of which is close to a roulette misconception. The past is surely not a predictor of future happenings. Staying abreast of previous results on a chart is definitely a complete waste of paper and an insult to the tree that gave its life for our stationary needs.

The most commonly used and possibly most successful method is the 1-three-two-six scheme. This schema is deployed to magnify payout and cutting back risk.

start by betting 1 unit. If you win, add one more to the two on the table for a total of 3 on the 2nd bet. If you win you will have 6 on the table, take away four so you have two on the third gamble. If you win the third bet, add 2 to the four on the table for a grand total of 6 on the fourth bet.

If you lose on the 1st wager, you take a loss of one. A win on the 1st bet quickly followed by loss on the 2nd brings about a loss of two. Wins on the 1st 2 with a loss on the third gives you a profit of 2. And wins on the first 3 with a loss on the fourth mean you break even. A win on all four bets leaves you with twelve, a profit of 10. Therefore that you can fail to win the second bet 5 times for every successful streak of four bets and still break even.
