Baccarat Protocols
Baccarat is played with eight decks of cards. Cards under ten are counted at their printed value meanwhile 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 persons; they purely act as the 2 hands to be given out).
2 hands of two cards shall then be played to the ‘banker’ … ‘player’. The value for any hand will be the sum of the two cards, but the very first digit is dumped. For e.g., a hand of seven … 5 has a value of 2 (sevenplusfive=12; drop the ‘one’).
A third card could be given depending on the foll. practices:
- If the gambler or banker has a tally of eight or 9, the two bettors stand.
- If the bettor has 5 or lower, he/she hits. Players stand otherwise.
- If gambler stands, the banker hits of five or less. If the gambler hits, a chart is used in order to figure if the banker stands or hits.
Baccarat Odds
The bigger of the two scores wins. Successful stakes on the banker pay at 19 to 20 (even money minus a five percent commission. Commission is tracked and paid out when you leave the table so make sure that you have funds left before you leave). Winning bets on the player pay 1 to one. Winner bets for tie usually pays eight to 1 and sometimes 9 to 1. (This is not a good bet as ties will happen less than 1 every 10 hands. Avoid placing bets on a tie. Regardless odds are somewhat better – nine to one versus 8 to one)
When done correctly, baccarat presents fairly good odds, aside from the tie wager ofcourse.
Baccarat Tactics
As with just about every games, Baccarat has some common misunderstandings. 1 of which is close to a misconception of roulette. The past is surely not an indicator of future events. Monitoring of old results on a chart is for sure a complete 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 feasibly most successful strategy is the one-three-2-6 technique. This scheme is deployed to maximize profits and limiting risk.
Begin by gambling 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, take away 4 so you have two on the third gamble. If you win the third wager, add 2 to the 4 on the table for a sum total of 6 on the fourth bet.
If you don’t win on the first bet, you take a loss of one. A win on the first bet followed by loss on the 2nd causes a loss of 2. Wins on the first two with a loss on the 3rd gives you a profit of two. And wins on the first three with a loss on the 4th mean you break even. Coming away with a win on all four bets leaves you with twelve, 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.
