The table layout is quite simple and consists of fourteen numbered positions seven on each side of the dealer; the number thirteen is omitted as it is considered unlucky. Three dealers run the game and one of these is the caller who runs the game and stands between positions 1 and 15. The aim of the game is to get as close to 9 as possible and if you are nearer then you win. All picture cards count as 10 and aces count as 1.
Player and dealer are both dealt two cards to start with, if either of them has a two card total of 8 or 9 then they must immediately turn over the cards. A 9 is the best hand and beats all other totals followed by 8, if both the dealer and the player has an 8 or 9 the hand is tied and no money changes hands. If your score is below 6 then you must hit and receive a third card, if you receive a third card then the dealer takes another depending on your total. If the dealer has 1 then he must draw. If the dealer has 4 then he must draw if your card is a 2-3-4-5-6-7. If the dealer has 5 then he must draw if your card is a 4-5-6-7. If the dealer has 6 then he must draw if your card is a 6-7. If the dealer has 7 then he must stand. Baccarat is a game of pure luck. Thus it would seem to be to your advantage to bet on the house winning on every hand. You may have heard of the 1 - 3 - 2 - 6 baccarat system. The objective of course is to bet a little with the potential for a larger return. If you win the first bet but lose the second, that's two units you've lost. The same system will work for any casino game that pays out even-money. This system will work only in the short term. The casino's always win in the long run. How should this change the way a player wagers?
Factoring in the commission it turns out that you are still slightly better off by betting that the house will win. This assumes the commission is the usual 5%, should the commission change then you have to change strategy. If the commission is less than 5% then it is always to your advantage to bet with the house, while if the commission is more than 5% it pays to bet on the player winning. Removing the tie hands in the event there is no payoff, the odds of the player winning are 492% and for losing 508%.
