Baccarat Protocols
Baccarat is played with 8 decks of cards. Cards valued less than 10 are said to be at face value and on the other hand 10, J, Q, K are 0, and A are each given a value of 1. Wagers are placed upon the ‘banker,’ the ‘player’ or for a tie (these aren’t actual players; they strictly depict the 2 hands to be given out).
2 hands of 2 cards shall then be given to the ‘banker’ … ‘player’. The value for each hand is the sum total of the 2 cards, but the initial digit is dropped. For eg, a hand of seven and five produces a tally of two (sevenplusfive=twelve; drop the ‘1′).
A third card can be given out depending on the foll. guidelines:
- If the bettor or banker has a total score of eight or 9, both bettors stand.
- If the gambler has five or lower, he/she hits. bettors stand otherwise.
- If player stands, the banker hits of 5 or less. If the player hits, a chart might be used to decide if the banker stands or hits.
Baccarat Odds
The higher of the two scores wins. Winning stakes on the banker pay at 19 to 20 (even odds minus a 5 percent commission. Commission is followed closely and cleared out when you leave the table so make sure to have $$$$$ still before you leave). Winning bets on the player pay 1 to 1. Winner bets for tie customarily pay out 8 to 1 and occasionally 9 to one. (This is a terrible gamble as ties will occur less than one every 10 hands. Definitely don’t try placing bets on a tie. Nevertheless odds are significantlly better – nine to one vs. 8 to 1)
When done effectively, baccarat offers relatively good odds, apart from the tie wager ofcourse.
Baccarat Tactics
As with all games, Baccarat has some well-known myths. 1 of which is similar to a misconception of roulette. The past is never actually a predictor of future happenings. Tracking of historic results on a chart is a waste of paper … an insult to the tree that gave its life to be used as our stationary.
The most common and feasibly most successful technique is the one-three-two-six technique. This tactic is employed to accentuate payout and limiting risk.
commence by wagering 1 unit. If you win, add one more to the 2 on the table for a total of three on the second bet. If you win you will have 6 on the table, clear away 4 so you have two on the 3rd wager. If you win the third gamble, add 2 to the four on the table for a sum total of 6 on the 4th gamble.
If you lose on the 1st bet, you take a loss of 1. A win on the first bet followed by loss on the 2nd will create a loss of 2. Wins on the 1st two 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. Winning at all four bets leaves you with 12, a profit of ten. Thus that you can lose the 2nd bet 5 times for every successful streak of four bets and still break even.
