Baccarat Gambling Strategy

Now, let me show how to profit when playing baccarat. Baccarat is played using 6 or 8 decks of cards and I will show you the probability on a hand dealt from a full shoe of 6 or 8 decks:

With 6 decks, the banker can win 0.46, the player can win 0.45, and a tie of 0.09

With 8 decks, the banker can win 0.46, the player can win 0.44, and a tie of 0.09

Commission will be taken from the winning banker hand (normally 4% or 5%) and payout on tie bets (8:1 or 9:1). This concludes the following casino advantages:

When it’s a 6 deck shoe, and a commission of 5% the advantage on a banker bet is 1.056%. With a commission of 4%, it than drops to 0.6%. On a player, the bet is 1.24%, and on a tie bet with 8:1 odds it is 14.93% and on 9:1 odds it is 14.43%. The advantage is around the same with a 8 deck .

Forget about counting the cards as the casino will shuffle on each play. There is also no much strategy as the games follows numerous automatic rules.

Common Sense Strategy

Never ever bet on the tie. The odds are overly popular in the house’s flavor. In the end, the bank will still win, so it will be wise to bet the banker’s hand. You will still have the odds in your favor even after paying the commission. So betting with the bank will be right choice. Choose games that use the 6 deck shoe, and also a 4% commission. Though it is quite boring, but it really works and you will certainly win.

Play and Loss Management

Know you know the best bet, but have no idea how much to bet. This is very important and crucial in Baccarat Gambling. You must learn to have self-control

You know now the best bet, but not how much to bet. This is also important. In Baccarat Gambling, it is crucial. A great majority of players usually wager more than they can afford to lose. Don’t be like them and follow the three basic rules below:

1. You MUST decide on the amount you are going to lose before you start Baccarat Gambling in the casino. Write it down and stick to it. That is your limit.

2. Budget the money you decided to use and allocate just that much for each round of play

3. For every win, allocate a percentage to the opposite pocket. Leave it there and don’t use it as that money is out of play. A smart player will always put ALL of the winnings out of play.

For example you have decided to wager $1,000. You have also decided to bet the game’s table minimum (take it as $50). Following rule 3, put your winnings as per rule out of play. After the 20th round you will have played the $1,000. However, your winnings are waiting for you.

Baccarat Gambling can be fun and profitable, but you must be strong and disciplined.

Winning at baccarat gambling is very easy if you follow the above guidelines – good luck!
