HOW TO BET ON BACCARAT

First things first of course… we bet.

Now, you can bet on the player side or the banker side, so take your pick.

Unlike blackjack are many other table games, the dealer really does all of it, so at this point sit back relax and see what happens.

The basic goal here is to get as close to 9 as possible.

The cards 2 through 9 carry their same face value…

…10, Jack, Queen, King, have a 0 value…and Ace has a value of 1.

I’m gonna go with the player side, feeling good. Here are our two hands the player hand and the banker hand. Let’s take a look…

HOW TO WIN BACCARAT

…now the player hand shows a 7 and a Queen. If you remember the Queen holds a 0 value so that is gonna be a 7 for the player hand.

The banker hand 2 and 4, add those together, you’ve got 6 that means the player is gonna beat the banker 7 over 6.

So, anybody who has the player just doubled their money, baby! That’s what I’m talking about!

Better luck next time ladies.

BACCARAT TIE

Now, the players side has a 9 and 7 we add those together that’s 16…something to note with baccarat; when the numbers add up to greater than 9 you actually drop the first number so that’s 16, drop the 1, becomes a 6.  

The banker side 8 and 8 as well, 16, drop the 1 to get a 6.

Congratulations! You have just won with a tie!

That win actually pays 8 to 1 with a tie folks, that’s good stuff.
