Baccarat Procedures
Baccarat is played with eight decks of cards. Cards than are of a value less than ten are counted at their printed number while at the same time ten, J, Q, K are 0, and A are each applied a value of 1. Wagers are placed on the ‘banker,’ the ‘player’ or for a tie (these aren’t actual players; they merely act as the two hands to be played).
2 hands of 2 cards are then given out to the ‘banker’ and ‘player’. The value for every hand will be the grand total of the two cards, but the initial digit is discarded. For eg, a hand of 7 … 5 produces a value of two (7plus5=twelve; drop the ‘one’).
A 3rd card may be given out depending on the following codes:
- If the player or banker has a tally of eight or 9, each gamblers stand.
- If the player has 5 or lower, he/she hits. gamblers stand otherwise.
- If player stands, the banker hits of five or lower. If the player hits, a chart shall be used to see if the banker stands or hits.
Baccarat Odds
The greater of the 2 scores is the winner. Victorious wagers on the banker pay nineteen to twenty (even odds minus a five percent commission. Commission is followed closely and paid out when you leave the table so ensure that you have funds remaining before you leave). Bets on the player that end up winning pay one to one. Winning bets for tie usually pays eight to one and on occasion 9 to one. (This is not a good gamble as ties will happen less than one every ten hands. Run away from laying money on a tie. Nonetheless odds are emphatically better – nine to 1 versus 8 to 1)
When done accurately, baccarat presents pretty good odds, apart from the tie bet of course.
Baccarat Strategy
As with just about every games, Baccarat has some established myths. One of which is quite similar to a roulette myth. The past is not a predictor of future outcomes. Staying abreast of past conclusions on a chart is simply a total waste of paper and an insult to the tree that gave its life for our stationary needs.
The most commonly used and probably most successful technique is the one-3-2-6 method. This schema is deployed to amplify payouts and controlling risk.
start by gambling one unit. If you win, add one more to the 2 on the table for a total of three on the 2nd bet. If you win you will have six on the table, clear away 4 so you have 2 on the 3rd wager. If you win the 3rd wager, add two to the four on the table for a value of six on the 4th wager.
If you lose on the 1st bet, you take a loss of 1. A win on the 1st bet followed by loss on the second will create 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 3 with a loss on the fourth mean you breakeven. A win on all four bets leaves you with twelve, a profit of 10. This means you can get beaten the second bet 5 times for every successful streak of four bets and still break even.
