Baccarat Regulations

Baccarat is played with eight decks of cards. Cards under 10 are worth their printed number whereas 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 persons; they just depict the two hands to be dealt).

2 hands of 2 cards will then be given to the ‘banker’ and ‘player’. The value for any hand is the sum total of the 2 cards, but the very first digit is dropped. For eg, a hand of seven … five has a value of two (sevenplus5=twelve; drop the ‘one’).

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

- If the gambler or banker has a total of eight or 9, each gamblers stand.

- If the player has five or less, he/she hits. bettors stand otherwise.

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

Baccarat Odds

The greater of the two scores will be the winner. Winning bets on the banker pay at nineteen to 20 (even odds less a 5% commission. Commission is monitored and moved out when you leave the table so ensure you have $$$$$ left before you leave). Winning bets on the player pay one to one. Winner bets for tie normally pay eight to 1 and sometimes nine to one. (This is an awful wager as ties happen lower than 1 every ten hands. Stay away from putting money on a tie. However odds are far better – 9 to 1 vs. 8 to 1)

When played accurately, baccarat presents pretty decent odds, away from the tie bet ofcourse.

Baccarat Tactics

As with just about all games, Baccarat has some established false impressions. 1 of which is close to a roulette myth. The past is in no way an indicator of future actions. Staying abreast of previous conclusions on a chart is for sure a total waste of paper and a slap in the face for the tree that gave its life for our stationary needs.

The most commonly used and possibly most successful method is the one-three-two-six scheme. This method is used to accentuate profits and limiting risk.

Begin by betting one 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, remove 4 so you have two on the third bet. If you win the 3rd wager, add two to the four on the table for a grand total of six on the fourth wager.

If you don’t win on the 1st wager, you suck up a loss of one. A win on the 1st bet followed up 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 two. And wins on the first 3 with a loss on the fourth mean you breakeven. Accomplishing a win on all four bets leaves you with 12, a profit of 10. In other words you can fail to win the second bet 5 times for every successful streak of 4 bets and still break even.
