Baccarat Standards
Baccarat is played with 8 decks of cards in a shoe. Cards with less than a value of ten are said to be at their printed value and on the other hand 10, J, Q, K are 0, and A are each given a value of 1. Wagers are placed on the ‘banker,’ the ‘player’ or for a tie (these aren’t actual players; they strictly represent the 2 hands to be given out).
Two hands of 2 cards will now be given to the ‘banker’ and ‘player’. The score for each hand shall be the grand total of the two cards, but the very first digit is dumped. For e.g., a hand of seven as well as five has a tally of two (7plusfive=12; drop the ‘one’).
A third card might be dealt depending on the following guidelines:
- If the bettor or banker has a value of eight or nine, the two players stand.
- If the bettor has 5 or less, he hits. Players stand otherwise.
- If bettor stands, the banker hits of five or less. If the player hits, a chart is used in order to ascertain if the banker stands or hits.
Baccarat Odds
The higher of the 2 scores will be the winner. Successful wagers on the banker payout nineteen to twenty (even money less a 5 percent commission. Commission is followed closely and moved out when you leave the table so make sure you have money left before you leave). Winning bets on the player pay 1 to one. Winning bets for tie typically pays out at 8 to 1 but on occasion 9 to one. (This is a crazy wager as ties will happen less than one every 10 hands. be wary of betting on a tie. Regardless odds are positively better – nine to 1 vs. eight to 1)
Played correctly, baccarat presents generally good odds, apart from the tie bet of course.
Baccarat Tactics
As with just about all games, Baccarat has some well-known misconceptions. One of which is close to a roulette misconception. The past is in no way an indicator of future actions. Monitoring of last outcomes on a chart is simply a 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 probably most successful method is the one-3-two-6 method. This tactic is used to pump up profits and lowering risk.
Begin by gambling one 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 six on the table, clear away four so you have two on the 3rd bet. If you win the 3rd bet, add 2 to the four on the table for a grand total of six on the 4th wager.
If you lose on the 1st bet, you suck up a loss of one. A win on the first bet followed up by loss on the 2nd creates a loss of two. Wins on the 1st two with a loss on the 3rd gives you a profit of 2. 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 fail to win the 2nd bet 5 times for every successful streak of four bets and still break even.
