Baccarat Policies
Baccarat is played with 8 decks of cards in a shoe. Cards below a value of 10 are said to be at their printed value while 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 persons; they purely represent the 2 hands to be played).
2 hands of 2 cards will now be dealt to the ‘banker’ as well as ‘player’. The score for every hand is the total of the 2 cards, but the first digit is discarded. For e.g., a hand of seven … five gives a value of two (7plus5=12; drop the ‘1′).
A 3rd card could be played depending on the following guidelines:
- If the bettor or banker has a value of eight or nine, both bettors stand.
- If the gambler has 5 or less, he/she hits. Players stand otherwise.
- If gambler stands, the banker hits of 5 or less. If the bettor hits, a chart might be used to determine if the banker stands or hits.
Baccarat Odds
The greater of the two scores wins. Winning bets on the banker pay out nineteen to twenty (even odds less a 5 percent commission. Commission is tracked and cleared out when you leave the table so ensure you have $$$$$ remaining before you leave). Winning bets on the player pay one to 1. Winning bets for tie as a rule pay out 8 to 1 and on occasion nine to 1. (This is an awful wager as ties occur lower than one every 10 hands. Definitely don’t try laying money on a tie. Nevertheless odds are somewhat better – 9 to 1 vs. 8 to one)
When done properly, baccarat offers relatively decent odds, apart from the tie wager of course.
Baccarat Tactics
As with every games, Baccarat has some established myths. One of which is very similar to a roulette misconception. The past is never actually an actual indicator of future events. Tracking of previous conclusions on a chart is definitely a total waste of paper … a slap in the face for the tree that gave its life for our stationary needs.
The most commonly used and possibly most successful technique is the 1-3-two-six concept. This plan is deployed to boost earnings and controlling risk.
start by wagering 1 unit. If you win, add one more to the two on the table for a total of 3 on the second bet. If you win you will have six on the table, take away four so you have two on the 3rd gamble. If you win the third bet, add 2 to the four on the table for a grand total of six on the fourth gamble.
If you don’t win on the first wager, you suck up a loss of 1. A win on the 1st bet quickly followed by loss on the second brings about a loss of two. Wins on the first 2 with a loss on the 3rd gives you a profit of two. And wins on the first three with a loss on the 4th mean you break even. Winning all four bets leaves you with twelve, a profit of ten. In other words that you can lose the second bet 5 times for every successful streak of 4 bets and still break even.
