Play Game Play Baccarat

Baccarat has a reputation for being a high rollers game and the tables are normally separate from the rest of the casino in there own section called the pit. This means the game is quite simple especially as there are only three possible bets that can be made. 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. Each player takes it in turns to deal from the shoe there is however no advantage to be gained from it and it is just part of the tradition of the game. When the bank wins the house claims a %5 cut of the winnings and the total amount is collected every time the shoe is reshuffled. 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 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 9 then he must stand.

Calculations have been made that show the odds of the player winning are 442%, losing 455%, and 93% to tie. You may have heard of the 1 - 3 - 2 - 6 baccarat system.

  • First, bet one unit. If you win add another, making the second bet a total of three units.
  • If you win the second bet there are six units on the table. Remove four, making the third bet two units.
  • If the third bet wins, add two more units for a total of six on the fourth bet.
  • If the fourth bet wins, you collect a total of 12 units, ten of pure profit. If you win the first bet but lose the second, that's two units you've lost. If you win the second bet but lose the third bet, your profit is two units. If you win the first three bets but lose the fourth, you break even. If you lose the second bet five out of six times, and then win four consecutive bets once, you break even. The same system will work for any casino game that pays out even-money. The casino's always win in the long run. Don't doubt it. To even out the odds the house charges a commission (usually 5%) on winning player bets placed on the house. 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.
