Rules of Baccarat
Baccarat Procedures
Baccarat is played with eight decks of cards. Cards which are valued under 10 are said to be at their printed number and on the other hand ten, J, Q, K are 0, and A are each equal to 1. Bets are placed upon the ‘banker,’ the ‘player’ or for a tie (these aren’t actual persons; they simply represent the two hands to be given out).
2 hands of two cards are then dealt to the ‘banker’ as well as ‘player’. The score for each hand shall be the sum total of the 2 cards, but the initial digit is dumped. For e.g., a hand of seven … five has a score of 2 (sevenplusfive=twelve; drop the ‘one’).
A third card might be given depending on the foll. rules:
- If the gambler or banker has a total of eight or 9, each players stand.
- If the player has 5 or less, he hits. gamblers stand otherwise.
- If gambler 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. Victorious wagers on the banker pay nineteen to twenty (even odds minus a five percent commission. Commission is kept track of and paid out when you leave the table so make sure to have money still before you leave). Bets on the player that end up winning pay 1 to 1. Winner bets for tie commonly pays 8 to one and sometimes nine to 1. (This is not a good wager as ties will occur less than one every ten hands. Avoid betting on a tie. Still, odds are noticeably better – nine to one versus 8 to one)
When done effectively, baccarat offers fairly good odds, apart from the tie bet of course.
Baccarat Tactics
As with many games, Baccarat has some established false impressions. One of which is very similar to a roulette myth. The past is not an indicator of future actions. Tracking of past outcomes on a chart is undoubtedly a waste of paper … a slap in the face for the tree that gave its life for our stationary needs.
The most popular and possibly most successful strategy is the one-3-two-six concept. This process is deployed to boost wins and cutting back risk.
start by wagering one unit. If you win, add 1 more to the 2 on the table for a total of three on the second bet. If you win you will have six on the table, subtract four so you have 2 on the 3rd gamble. If you win the third bet, add 2 to the 4 on the table for a total of 6 on the fourth bet.
If you lose on the first wager, you suck up a loss of one. A win on the 1st bet followed 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 3 with a loss on the fourth mean you breakeven. A win on all four bets leaves you with 12, a profit of ten. Therefore that you can get beaten the second bet 5 times for every successful streak of 4 bets and still break even.
