Baccarat Strategies

There isn’t much in the way of a true baccarat strategy simply because, much like slots, once you place a bet, the game is in motion and there’s not much else you can do. So the best baccarat strategies consist of placing the right bets.

Don’t Bet On Tie

While it may be tempting to put your money on tie, the payout on those are 8 to 1 or even 9 to one, but sadly the casino has the edge here with a 14.36% favor over you , the player. In short, while a tie might seem like a highly paid out bet, you’ll need a high payout if you’re ever going to actually win it.

Don’t Bet It All

You’ll need to keep some money back when you’re at the baccarat table because every Banker bet you make requires an additional 5 percent commission. The dealer will keep a tab for you so that you don’t have to pay for every bet, and before you leave the table, you’ll have to settle the tab. You might also be asked to pay up when a new shoe is shuffled or when a player leaves. Even if you lose all of your money at the table, you’ll still owe the dealer commission, so keep some money in your pocket – no matter how tempting it may be to use it for one last Hail Mary bet.

Don’t Bother Counting Cards

While counting cards seems like a good idea, in baccarat, counting cards only gives you an edge every 345 hands. Not only is it a lot of effort that doesn’t help you very much, it’s also not allowed. Just consider baccarat a game where counting cards simply doesn’t work.

Bet at the End of the Shoe

A Banker bet offers nicer odds than a Player bet, and these odds improve as the game goes on. The best bets are near the end of a shoe. As the remaining decks in the shoe start to decrease, start raising your bets as you have more luck at this point in the game making a big win.

While baccarat is a pure game of luck, there are tricks, at least, that will help you take advantage of the opportunities there are to beat out that substantial house edge.
