Please let me introduce myself.
I'm aprox. 55 years old.
I've been visiting Reno and Vegas casinos since the late 1970's.
But I have never lived in Nevada. (I want to someday)
Betting on sports is the easiest.
I prefer the NFL, The NHL and MLB
Craps... If I play it, I will marty the don't pass line when the shooters are somewhat cold. (easy money!)
Hold'em high - love to play it but there are LOTS of easier ways to make money in Vegas.
Now we get to Baccarat...
I live in a state close to Nevada that has several Indian Casinos.
To protect my identity I'm not going to mention the state.
I'm a 'hit and run' gambler! AKA Gorilla Gambler!
Casino's hate people like me because we win and then we high tail it! (with their $$$)
I over heard a Baccarat Pit Boss tell a customer once...
'If everybody as soon as they got ahead, they quit playing for the day, then we would soon be out of business.'
I use marty's in order to beat Baccarat.
I never sit down when I play Baccarat.
All my bets are placed standing up in back of the seated players.
I play from 'the gallery' as they call it.
I go from table to table looking for that table where Player or Banker is dominating the scene!
At the Gold Coast Casino I would be in Hog Heaven.
Follow me so far?
When I go to Vegas I always stay at Harrah's and I play my Baccarat there and at The Flamingo.
But sports betting is where I always tear them up!
Now back to Baccarat...
I mainly like to bet Player but if Banker is dominating then I will obviously bet Banker.
For example...
I walk up to a table in which Player is dominating Banker...
My Marty is $25 - $50 - $100 - $200 - $175 - $225/or IC (bet Player each time)
If I lose 5 times in a row, I stop and book a $550 loser. (minus my other marty wins for the day)
Then I go home for the day.
If I lose 4 in a row and win on my 5th bet then I'm down $200 and can then
make a $225 bet later on or do an 'increment catchup' to try and get even.
For example a $50 - $100 - $200 marty is a $50 'increment catchup' when won.
My goal everytime I go to the casino is a $100 - $200 win with a $1,000 bank roll.
Once I reach my goal I leave the casino and immeditely go home!
John Patrick once said it best... Go for small wins!
My record is 46
That's 46 straight winning trips to the casino!
46 x $150 = $6,900
It usually doesn't take me long to win $100 - $200 then I'm gone.
If I play for long periods I will eventually go on tilt like poker players do.
Get in and get out and don't get greedy!

Just one question, and believe me, I'm not a professional gambler, nor a mathmetician.
How do the numbers know that there are pauses between your plays?

Martyman
I love your negative progression. Risk 500 to get back 25. Must be another class next to Golden Touch. Las Vegas university - world famous school, our graduates go broke faster than anybody else.

I highly DO NOT recommend trying this but give the guy props for catching a winning run. $6900 covers the next 12 losses not including future wins of $150.00

Baccarat is one of the oldest card games of chance which makes it especially venturesome. This game belongs to the category of casino card games and is played at a table.

Some players may say that it is not particularly interesting or fun, but in the meantime, it is worth mentioning that the legendary agent 007 was its fan in Casino Royale. The entire game is based on luck. It has many similarities with Macao, and has a range of variations widely played at real and online casinos nowadays: same banker, same bets and punters.

Baccarat is based on the rules of the card games, which like all card games of this kind are quite easy. Nevertheless, it’s sometimes hard to win at baccarat, that’s why you should develop some winning strategies.

Game Variations

There are several Baccarat variations or the names of the game that came from various origins. Here are the most popular Baccarat names: BAC, American Baccarat, Chemin de fer, Punto Banco, Macau, pieces of iron, nine, MINIBAKKARA, dices, online Baccarat, etc. And they differ in:

• the rules of the distribution and changing of cards
• number of decks in the game
• number of participants
• range and magnitude of rates
• winning bets on payments
• the role of the punter in the game

However, the aim of the game is what unites all the above mentioned Baccarat variations. That is to get a combination of cards with a total of 9 points or as close as possible combination to 9.

Baccarat Rules

In order to develop the winning strategy of Baccarat gambling, you should first get acquainted with the basic rules of the game and then find out the strategy that will bring you the desired victory in Baccarat tournaments either online or at a real casino. Since American Baccarat is the most popular game, let’s see how it should be played. So, here we go:

1) In baccarat the punter plays two full decks of cards, shuffled previously by one of the partners, and then by the punter, the punter has the right to throw a few cards under the deck, only after the players are warned about that.

2) The players sit at random, but not on the cards.

3) According to the rules of the game of Baccarat, the number of players is not limited. They can finish the game when they want to and go away from the table, or may join in in the process, of course, with the permission of the banker.

4) After the cards are shuffled, the banker is obliged to give one of the players to cut the deck.

5) The punter deals the cards one by one, first from the left to the right to all the players, not excluding him, then, from the right to the left. So every punter receives two cards.

6) Dealt cards are set only by the number of its points.

7) Every punter before getting the banker's two cards has to put the bet near that amount of money, which he wants to play.

8) Banker doubles every bet.

9) In the game of Baccarat the points are considered to be the winning if it’s 9, 19 and 29. Also, good cards are with 8, 18 and 28 and, finally, good ones of 7, 17 and 27.

10) The numbers 6, 16 and 26 are included in the calculation, but the chances of winning are relatively small.

11) Each figure in Baccarat is considered to be for 10 points.

12) The cards of the banker always have an advantage over the punter’s cards. If the same number of points has both the banker and the punter, the banker’s bet is taken first.

13) If the banker has 9 or 19, he immediately opens the card, and takes the entire punter’s rate, despite the fact that some players have the same numbers 9 or 19.

14) If the banker drops 8 or 18 and one of the punters - 9 or 19, then the banker pays only one punter, all the remaining he gets himself.

15) If more than one punter at the same time had the number 9 or 19, then the banker pays them all.

16) If no punters or the banker have on hand either 8 or 9, it is possible to buy.

17) Under the rules of the game of Baccarat the order of buying is the following: first, the punter buys, sitting on the right side of the banker. After it the one who is sitting to the left, followed again punter on the right side, then the player seated to the left, and so on.

18) You cannot buy more than one card.

19) After all the banker has the right to buy for himself.

20) After some punters have announced the game on their cards, while others bought, and the banker announced the game or purchase, all the playing cards are opened.

21) And now winning or losing is determined by scoring.

22) Examples of winning and losing: if the banker has 6 points, and one of the punters has 7 and the other have 5, the banker pays the first, and receives from the second; but if both punters have 7 or 8 points, the banker pays them both; If punters and banker found equal numbers of points, then all their bets (single punter and double banker) are divided into as many equal parts as the playing have, for example: 6 points had two punters and the banker, the total rate is 18 dollars, each had 6 dollars. This division is considered to be the only exception.

23) The player who has 4 points has the right to buy.

24) Number of points 10, 20 and 30 is called Baccarat and enjoys special advantages.

25) Under the rules of the game of Baccarat the banker is not obliged after a certain time, or at the end of the round to give the bank to another player, and no one should demand that.

Winning Strategies

Everyone is curios if it’s possible to develop a 'win-win' system in Baccarat? Let’s see. In Baccarat all depends on the 'blind' case. A player cannot influence either the distribution of the cards, nor the game aftermath, after a successful bid. Rules of baccarat, as in any other game, are drawn up so that the casino has always had, small but still the expected advantage over the player. The player is free only in the choice of the bet, and in the selection of the field for which he makes this bet. Even buying cards is under the strict rules the third card.

However, a game system is a set of rules that guide the player in the selection of certain necessary decisions that, according to the developers of the system, can significantly affect the outcome of the game and increase the chances of the player winning.

Production and development of systems are based on certain mathematical rules that are mainly used in statistics, in combination analysis and probability theory.

First of all the system developers are looking for the patterns in the behavior of the observed object (whether the behavior of the ball in the roulette wheel, or a loss of the right combination of cards or dice, etc), collect the statistics of held layouts and wins.

Baccarat Strategy

So are there any patterns in this game? Is it possible to calculate the probability of winning one of the parties in Baccarat?

Before answering these questions, pay attention to the fact that the deck of cards behave as unpredictably as the roulette ball, ie, Previous round does not affect the follow-up, because Baccarat is the game of luck. Despite the fact, however, there were players in the history of gambling who managed to beat the casino by means of cheating.

• It is common, however, that cheating is unacceptable in reputable casinos.
• To use the 'card counting method' that is applied in blackjack, is useless in baccarat and does not make any sense, according to the rules of the casino.

Let’s estimate, in terms of mathematics, the chances of parties to win and analyze how a particular decision is taken by the player and if it can affect the distribution of the chances in the game. Mathematical analysis of the distribution of chances in Baccarat, conducted by serious scholars, in particular Dr. Edward O. Thorp'The mathematics of gambling' shows that the number of favorable outcomes for the player at each of the three possible bets in baccarat, obviously has a negative expectation for the player.

In particular, for American Baccarat we obtain:

• Tip #1

With the bet on 'PLAEYR' the casino advantage of these rates reaches 1.29%. This means that by placing a hand on the player, you will lose $ 1.29 out of every $ 100 involved in the game.

• Tip #2

When betting on 'BANKER' the house edge is minimal and amounts to 1.01%.

• Tip #3

Bet on 'TIE' gives a casino the advantage of these rates to 15.75%.

We see that the most winning will likely be to bet on the player with the bank. Does this mean that you should always bet on banker? Is there a great probability of the next winning combination on the banker's hand?

• Despite the fact that the chances of the casino is always higher, you can win at the casino, but need to understand that in a sufficiently long series of games (after 60-80 hands - one-hour game online), the casino can get your money back.

Nevertheless, treat the games as games with much fun and enthusiasm. This is having fun and getting excited, nothing more. Flirt with fortune, but do not try to deceive the case, applying the so-called 'win-win system' you have.

Internet Baccarat

Until the early twentieth century the classic baccarat was a favorite game of fashionable bourgeois salons. Therefore, now in modern casinos authorities tend to give a certain aristocratic luster to Baccarat. The game takes place in a separate room, in an atmosphere of elegance, with staff moving silently in the mandatory tuxedos. Everything is done to attract the VIP-players. This game is a serious business for the casino, and usually is played for high stakes, that cannot be afforded by the players with average incomes.

Minibaccarat is a variant of the same famous real casino game used online that allows gambling with lower rates and is not always found in conventional casinos.

It is much easier in online casinos due to its efficiency and accessibility.

• Here you will find a wide range of gambling variations.
• The widest range of games and a range of rates, in large casinos (worthy of manufacturers) set of games over a hundred.
• Usually casinos offer blackjack, roulette, several varieties of poker, baccarat, craps, video poker slots (100 species).
• There are hundreds of online casinos offering baccarat. And your choice of a particular casino may depend on a number of factors:

1. Whether you want to simply test your skills in the game or just play for real money
2. Do you want to only play baccarat, or do not mind playing other games
3. Do you want to play big? Or do you prefer a game with a small bet?
4. Or maybe you want to choose baccarat, where the house is minimized?
5. Or you want to chat with other players at the same table?
6. Finally, your choice of the online baccarat gam may depend on the type and size of the bonuses offered by the particular casino.

Bonuses in online casinos

Speaking about the merits of online baccarat games be sure to mention bonuses. Almost every online casino is committed to offer the players bonuses to involve them in the game. In online casino the bonuses are represented by money that accrues on the casino player's account after he has made a specific deposit at the casino.

There are no deposit bonuses (ie bonuses for signing up new players for which they do not necessarily make a deposit at the casino). By simply downloading the casino software, you can get just a gift, $ 10- $ 20 for a 'warm-up'. That is, you can start playing (and winning!) without having any money.

But it must be remembered that the receipt of bonuses is accompanied by certain conditions that depend according to the game. The main condition is that the player has to make bets on a predetermined amount (wager), before being able to withdraw winnings from the account. It usually takes 15-30 times to the total value of bets placed. In addition, the rate is usually not taken into account in the games of roulette, craps, and baccarat (in these games, the casino advantage is not large, and the player's chances of winning are compared to the odds of the casino) which can definitely be your winning strategy if played appropriately. Besides, carefully read the conditions for the provision of casino bonuses to the game!

A single deck Baccarat

When selecting online casino gambling, you can always choose to play with the best chances of winning. For example, choosing the European roulette, you have an additional chance compared to the American version of the game. The same is with baccarat. You should better learn the variations of the games and their advantages for the player.

Accordingly, by selecting baccarat with a single deck of cards, you can reduce the house edge to 1% (when betting on the 'banker').

The game of baccarat with a single deck of cards can be found in some Microgaming casinos. Playing in the 'free mode' or for real money also matters. Each solid online casino will allow you to practice your chosen game in the 'free mode', in the so-called 'zero' money. This is an excellent opportunity to study the rules of the game (they can be found directly on the casino site), to get used to the software, check yourself or your chosen strategy at games without risking your own money playing for free.

Multiplayer games

This is another advantage in online baccarat. Currently, many Internet casinos offer multiplayer versions of many popular games: baccarat, roulette, blackjack, poker, etc. Multiplayer game mode allows several players to play at the same table at the same time communicating with each other in the built-in chat.

So, if you love the excitement of a pure gambling, prefer to play without interference, in the comfort of your own home, if you like the games with favorable rules and bonus money from the casino, play online casino baccarat. In order to increase the winning odds, use the rules appropriately.

Do not forget to use the casino bonus and all the ways that can make your winning chances approximately the same with that of casinos. Good luck!
