A Simple Game with Simple Strategies
Unlike most easy to play casino games baccarat has a low house
advantage on two of the three possible betting options. The most simple
strategy is to either bet on player or banker and avoid the Tie bet.
By sticking to the Banker or Player bets you have roughly a 50% of
picking the right outcome and in the event of a tie winning you get
your initial bet back.
Best Baccarat Bets
While there are three different bet options for you while playing
baccarat they are not even in terms of odds or pay outs. The three
different bets are,
Player - Pays 2 to 1 : The player bet has the second highest probability
coming in just below the banker bet. The Player bet attracts no commission
for a win so it pays a true 2 to 1 for your money on the table.
Banker - Pays 2 to 1 less commission : The banker bet has the
highest probability of occurring in a game of baccarat however because
of this the casino takes a commission on all wins placed on the banker
bet.
Tie - Usually Pays 8 to 1 and in some casinos 9 to 1 : The tie
bet is the worst bet on the baccarat table. The house edge is huge
on this bet and even at an 8 to 1 pay out we don't recommend that
you make this your favorite baccarat bet.
Always Betting on Banker
Due to the fact that the probability of the banker winning is slightly
higher than the other outcomes betting always on banker is a strategy
using the numbers.
The banker bet has one drawback however and that is the commission
taken from any win made on the banker bet. This commission is usually
5% and does somewhat reduce the advantages of this strategy.
Following the Streaks
The most popular baccarat strategy is to watch the cards for streaks
and play accordingly. The game of baccarat is always played with a
"score card" that outlines the past hands in the current
shoe.
It is not uncommon for there to be large player, banker or even tie
streaks. If you can predict the streaks correctly you can very quickly
win a lot of money, especially on a tie streak. |
