Rules of Baccarat
Baccarat Protocols
Baccarat is played with eight decks of cards. Cards that are valued under ten are counted at their printed number while at the same time 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 gamblers; they purely represent the 2 hands to be dealt).
2 hands of 2 cards are then given out to the ‘banker’ as well as ‘player’. The total for each hand shall be the sum total of the 2 cards, but the very first digit is dumped. For e.g., a hand of seven … five will have a value of 2 (7plusfive=twelve; drop the ‘1′).
A third card might be played depending on the foll. standards:
- If the gambler or banker has a total score of eight or 9, each gamblers stand.
- If the bettor has 5 or less, he hits. gamblers stand otherwise.
- If gambler stands, the banker hits of five or lower. If the bettor hits, a chart will be used to see if the banker stands or hits.
Baccarat Odds
The larger of the 2 scores is the winner. Victorious bets on the banker pay at 19 to 20 (even odds less a five % commission. Commission is kept track of and cleared out when you leave the table so make sure that you have $$$$$ left over before you leave). Bets on the player that end up winning pay 1 to one. Winning bets for tie normally pay eight to one and occasionally 9 to one. (This is a terrible gamble as ties occur less than one every 10 hands. be cautious of betting on a tie. Even so odds are emphatically better – nine to 1 versus eight to one)
When played accurately, baccarat offers relatively good odds, aside from the tie bet of course.
Baccarat Strategy
As with every games, Baccarat has some well-known misconceptions. One of which is similar to a roulette misconception. The past is not an indicator of future outcomes. Monitoring of historic outcomes on a chart is simply a total waste of paper … an insult to the tree that gave its life to be used as our stationary.
The most commonly used and feasibly most successful tactic is the one-three-two-6 scheme. This scheme is used to accentuate earnings and reducing risk.
start by wagering 1 unit. If you win, add one more to the two on the table for a total of 3 on the second bet. If you win you will have six on the table, clear away four so you have 2 on the third gamble. If you win the third gamble, add two to the four on the table for a total of 6 on the 4th wager.
If you don’t win on the first bet, you take a loss of 1. A win on the 1st bet followed by loss on the second causes a loss of 2. Wins on the first 2 with a loss on the third gives you a profit of two. And wins on the first three with a loss on the 4th mean you come out even. Coming out on top on all four bets leaves you with 12, a profit of 10. In other words that you can fail to win the 2nd bet 5 times for every successful streak of four bets and still break even.
