Baccarat Regulations

Baccarat is played with 8 decks of cards in a shoe. Cards which are valued under ten are give a value of their printed number while ten, J, Q, K are 0, and A are each applied a value of 1. Bets are placed on the ‘banker,’ the ‘player’ or for a tie (these aren’t actual people; they merely represent the two hands to be played).

Two hands of 2 cards will then be dealt to the ‘banker’ and ‘player’. The score for every hand will be the total of the 2 cards, but the 1st digit is dropped. For eg, a hand of 7 and 5 results in a total of two (sevenplus5=12; drop the ‘1′).

A third card may be played depending on the following practices:

- If the player or banker has a value of eight or nine, then both bettors stand.

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

- If player stands, the banker hits of 5 or lower. If the player hits, a chart is used in order to figure if the banker stands or hits.

Baccarat Odds

The bigger of the 2 scores will be the winner. Victorious wagers on the banker pay at nineteen to 20 (even odds less a five % commission. Commission is monitored and moved out when you leave the table so make sure you have money still before you leave). Bets on the player that end up winning pay one to one. Winning bets for tie typically pay out 8 to one and sometimes nine to 1. (This is a crazy wager as ties will happen less than 1 every ten hands. Avoid placing bets on a tie. Nonetheless odds are considerably better – nine to 1 vs. eight to 1)

When done correctly, baccarat presents relatively good odds, aside from the tie wager of course.

Baccarat Tactics

As with just about all games, Baccarat has some established misunderstandings. One of which is close to a roulette myth. The past is in no way an indicator of future results. Monitoring of prior results on a chart is simply a waste of paper and an insult to the tree that gave its life to be used as our stationary.

The most established and almost certainly most successful method is the 1-3-2-six technique. This technique is deployed to boost wins and lowering risk.

commence by wagering 1 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 6 on the table, clear away four so you have 2 on the third gamble. If you win the 3rd gamble, add two to the 4 on the table for a total of six on the 4th gamble.

If you lose on the 1st wager, you take a loss of one. A win on the 1st bet followed by loss on the 2nd will create a loss of 2. Wins on the first 2 with a loss on the third gives you a profit of 2. And wins on the first three with a loss on the fourth mean you come out even. A win on all four bets leaves you with twelve, a profit of ten. This means you can lose the 2nd bet 5 times for every successful streak of 4 bets and still break even.
