Baccarat Policies

Baccarat is played with 8 decks of cards. Cards that are valued under ten are counted at face value and on the other hand 10, J, Q, K are 0, and A are each equal to 1. Bets are placed on the ‘banker,’ the ‘player’ or for a tie (these aren’t actual contenders; they just symbolize the 2 hands to be dealt).

Two hands of two cards are then given out to the ‘banker’ and ‘player’. The value for each hand is the sum of the 2 cards, but the initial digit is dumped. For eg, a hand of seven and 5 will have a total score of two (7plusfive=12; drop the ‘one’).

A 3rd card may be given depending on the foll. codes:

- If the bettor or banker has a total of eight or 9, both bettors stand.

- If the bettor has 5 or less, he hits. gamblers stand otherwise.

- If player stands, the banker hits of five or lesser. If the bettor hits, a chart shall be used to ascertain if the banker stands or hits.

Baccarat Odds

The bigger of the 2 scores will be the winner. Victorious wagers on the banker pay out 19 to 20 (even odds less a five % commission. Commission is monitored and paid out when you leave the table so ensure you have funds left over before you leave). Bets on the player that end up winning pay 1 to one. Winner bets for tie as a rule pays out at eight to 1 and on occasion nine to 1. (This is a crazy bet as ties will happen less than one every ten hands. Avoid betting on a tie. Even so odds are vastly better – nine to one versus 8 to one)

Played accurately, baccarat presents relatively decent odds, apart from the tie bet obviously.

Baccarat Tactics

As with just about all games, Baccarat has some well-known false impressions. One of which is close to a misconception of roulette. The past is not an actual indicator of future actions. Staying abreast of prior results on a chart is for sure a complete waste of paper and an insult to the tree that gave its life to be used as our stationary.

The most popular and almost certainly most successful tactic is the one-three-2-six technique. This tactic is employed to maximize earnings and controlling risk.

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

If you don’t win on the first wager, you take a loss of one. A win on the 1st bet followed by loss on the second brings about a loss of 2. Wins on the first two with a loss on the 3rd gives you a profit of 2. And wins on the first 3 with a loss on the 4th mean you break even. Winning all four bets leaves you with 12, a profit of 10. In other words that you can fail to win the second bet 5 times for every successful streak of 4 bets and still break even.
