Baccarat Protocols
Baccarat is played with eight decks of cards. Cards than are of a value less than 10 are of their printed number and on the other hand ten, J, Q, K are 0, and A are each applied a value of 1. Wagers are placed upon the ‘banker,’ the ‘player’ or for a tie (these aren’t actual players; they only appear as the 2 hands to be dealt).
2 hands of two cards will now be given to the ‘banker’ as well as ‘player’. The value for each hand shall be the total of the two cards, but the initial digit is dropped. For example, a hand of seven … five results in a score of 2 (sevenplusfive=twelve; drop the ‘one’).
A 3rd card can be given out depending on the following practices:
- If the gambler or banker has a total of 8 or 9, each players stand.
- If the player has five or less, he/she hits. bettors stand otherwise.
- If player stands, the banker hits of 5 or less. If the gambler hits, a chart shall be used in order to see if the banker stands or hits.
Baccarat Odds
The greater of the two scores is the winner. Victorious wagers on the banker pay at nineteen to 20 (even money minus a five percent commission. Commission is monitored and paid out when you leave the table so make sure you have funds still before you leave). Winning bets on the player pay one to one. Winner bets for tie generally pays 8 to 1 and on occasion nine to one. (This is not a good wager as ties happen lower than 1 every ten hands. Stay away from laying money on a tie. Regardless odds are radically better – nine to 1 vs. 8 to one)
When done effectively, baccarat offers pretty decent odds, apart from the tie bet ofcourse.
Baccarat Strategy
As with every games, Baccarat has some well-known myths. One of which is quite similar to a roulette myth. The past is in no way an actual indicator of future events. Staying abreast of previous outcomes on a chart is a complete waste of paper as well as a slap in the face for the tree that gave its life to be used as our stationary.
The most commonly used and almost certainly most successful tactic is the one-3-2-six method. This plan is employed to maximize payout and minimizing risk.
Begin by betting one 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 two on the 3rd gamble. If you win the 3rd gamble, add 2 to the four on the table for a total of six on the 4th wager.
If you lose on the first bet, you take a loss of 1. A win on the first bet quickly followed by loss on the 2nd causes a loss of 2. Wins on the first 2 with a loss on the 3rd gives you a profit of 2. And wins on the first three with a loss on the fourth mean you break even. Coming out on top on all four bets leaves you with 12, a profit of 10. Therefore you can get beaten the 2nd bet 5 times for every successful streak of 4 bets and still break even.
