Baccarat Rules


Baccarat Procedures

Baccarat is played with eight decks of cards in a shoe. Cards which are valued less than ten are valued at their printed number while 10, J, Q, K are 0, and A are each given a value of 1. Bets are placed upon the ‘banker,’ the ‘player’ or for a tie (these aren’t actual contenders; they just depict the two hands to be dealt).

Two hands of two cards are then dealt to the ‘banker’ … ‘player’. The value for every hand will be the sum total of the two cards, but the 1st digit is removed. For example, a hand of 7 as well as five gives a total score of two (sevenplus5=12; drop the ‘one’).

A third card could be played depending on the foll. codes:

- If the player or banker has a tally of 8 or nine, both bettors stand.

- If the gambler has five or lower, he/she hits. gamblers stand otherwise.

- If player stands, the banker hits of five or lower. If the gambler hits, a chart might be used to ascertain if the banker stands or hits.

Baccarat Odds

The larger of the two scores wins. Successful bets on the banker payout nineteen to twenty (even money minus a 5% commission. Commission is kept track of and paid out when you leave the table so ensure that you have dollars left before you leave). Bets on the player that end up winning pay 1 to one. Winning bets for tie usually pays eight to one but on occasion 9 to one. (This is a bad bet as ties occur lower than 1 every ten hands. Stay away from wagering on a tie. However odds are certainly better – 9 to 1 vs. 8 to 1)

When played effectively, baccarat offers generally decent odds, apart from the tie wager of course.

Baccarat Strategy

As with just about every games, Baccarat has some established misconceptions. One of which is very similar to a roulette misconception. The past is in no way a predictor of future happenings. Monitoring of last conclusions on a chart is for sure a total waste of paper … an insult to the tree that gave its life to be used as our stationary.

The most popular and probably most successful technique is the one-three-2-six scheme. This tactic is used to pump up payout and minimizing risk.

start by gambling 1 unit. If you win, add 1 more to the 2 on the table for a total of three on the 2nd bet. If you win you will have six on the table, subtract 4 so you have two on the 3rd gamble. If you win the third bet, add two to the four on the table for a grand total of 6 on the 4th wager.

If you don’t win on the initial bet, you suck up a loss of 1. A win on the first bet followed up by loss on the second brings about a loss of two. Wins on the first 2 with a loss on the third gives you a profit of 2. And wins on the first 3 with a loss on the 4th mean you come out even. Winning all four bets leaves you with twelve, a profit of ten. Thus that you can get beaten the 2nd bet 5 times for every successful streak of four bets and still break even.
