Baccarat Protocols
Baccarat is played with eight decks of cards. Cards than are of a value less than 10 are worth their printed value while 10, J, Q, K are 0, and A are each given a value of 1. Bets are placed on the ‘banker,’ the ‘player’ or for a tie (these aren’t actual contenders; they just act as the two hands to be dealt).
Two hands of 2 cards will then be dealt to the ‘banker’ … ‘player’. The total for each hand is the sum total of the two cards, but the 1st digit is discarded. For example, a hand of seven … 5 results in a tally of 2 (sevenplus5=twelve; drop the ‘1′).
A third card may be played depending on the foll. guidelines:
- If the player or banker has a score of 8 or 9, both players stand.
- If the bettor has 5 or less, he hits. gamblers stand otherwise.
- If gambler stands, the banker hits of 5 or less. If the bettor hits, a chart shall be used in order to judge if the banker stands or hits.
Baccarat Odds
The bigger of the 2 scores is the winner. Winning wagers on the banker pay out 19 to 20 (even money minus a 5 percent commission. Commission is monitored and paid out when you leave the table so make sure that you have dollars left over before you leave). Bets on the player that end up winning pay one to one. Winning bets for tie as a rule pays out at eight to 1 and on occasion nine to 1. (This is not a good bet as ties happen less than 1 every 10 hands. Definitely don’t try wagering on a tie. Still, odds are greatly better – 9 to one versus eight to one)
When played accurately, baccarat provides pretty decent odds, away from the tie bet obviously.
Baccarat Tactics
As with all games, Baccarat has some common misunderstandings. One of which is quite similar to a roulette myth. The past is not an actual indicator of future results. Keeping track of prior conclusions on a chart is simply a waste of paper and a slap in the face for the tree that gave its life to be used as our stationary.
The most established and possibly most successful tactic is the 1-3-2-six method. This process is employed to amplify payouts and lowering risk.
commence by wagering 1 unit. If you win, add one more to the 2 on the table for a total of 3 on the second bet. If you win you will have six on the table, take away 4 so you have two on the third gamble. If you win the 3rd wager, add 2 to the 4 on the table for a value of six on the fourth gamble.
If you don’t win 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 2. Wins on the first 2 with a loss on the third gives you a profit of 2. And wins on the first 3 with a loss on the 4th mean you breakeven. Arriving at a win on all four bets leaves you with 12, a profit of 10. This means that you can fail to win the second bet 5 times for every successful streak of four bets and still break even.
