Baccarat Betting
Baccarat has a very reasonable set of Odds for the
Player when compared to most games.
On Player bets the House has a small edge, to
compensate for this the House takes a commission
(usually 5 percent)
on winning bank bets.
Bets are made prior to any cards being dealt. The
Banker plays against only one Player at a time,
but any or all the other Players may bet on the
hand.
In regular casinos, Baccarat is played on a kidney
shaped Table that can sit up to 12 or 14 players,
depending on the size of the Table. Three Dealers
(croupiers) run the game;
one handles the cards, while the other two handle
the wagers and the commission that is paid on
winning bank bets. Where the Players sit is not
important, but bets must be made in a marked area on
the Table
that corresponds to the Players seat.
Players may bet three ways: on the Bank, on the
Players Hand, or for a Tie.
Players often switch from betting on the Bank to
betting on the Players Hand and vice versa.
(Betting for a Tie is not usually smart, while
having a larger payoff,
it is considered one of the worst wagers in the
casino.)
A bet is made by placing money on the Table in your
marked area on the wagered spot.
For example, if you are Player number 3 and wish to
bet on the Bank you place the desired wager amount
on the
Table Layout Place
for player number 3 marked Bank.
Winning Player and Bank bets pay even money
(excluding banker bet commissions).
Hands that result in a Tie usually pay off at 8 to 1
and a Bank or Player bet is treated as a push with
the money
sitting on the Table for the next hand.
