Do some reading up on it, it's basically a 50/50 game. Baccarat has the best odds of any casino game.You can bet player or banker or tie. If it's a tie and you have your money on player or banker you get it back. The hand closest to 9 wins. There is really no thinking just decide how much you want to bet, and whether to put it on player or banker and watch the cards fall. It's not like blackjack where you have to decide to take another card or not..
Banker comes up like .001 more then player so if you bet $1 on banker you win .95 If you bet $1 on player you win $1
See what your limits are, pinnacle minimum is $1 and max is $500
While at 365 minimum is $2 and max is $400
What I do is just play the minimum, if I lose then double down, so 1,2,4,8,16 etc. When you win go back to $1 Basically you want to make some money then get out. The longer you play the more chance of losing. As for rules and strategy's I like, these are my own from experience. You should
1) Never bet aginst a streak, if player has come up 5 times, you might think banker has to come up next, but it doesn't. I've seen streaks of 14 on online casinos. I also was at a casino playing red/black on roulette before and witnessed red come up 13 times in a row, so never bet against a streak....
2)Chase the winner, if player wins then bet player again, if banker wins then bet banker. This way if you get a streak going you'll be riding it out and winning with it. Obviously the only way to lose on this is if PBPBPBPB come up switching each time. You will see patterns and have to recognize them as they come up.
3)If you see it switching PBPB etc then you could bet the opposite of the winner or start playing BBPPBB do it in sets of 2 ex. BBPPBB or switch it up a bit with sets of 3 BBBPPBBPPPetc This way if it switches you will win on your second bet. And if a streak starts you will be on it, or be able to join it in a couple hands.
4)You can make a predetermined betting strategy, like ex PBPPB whatever you like, I belive you have a 97% chance of at least getting a win on 1 of your 5 hands. Just remember the longer you play, your odds for the opposite play happening BPBBP increase, and when it comes up you'll lose all 5 hands.
5)Know when to quit, sometimes I go in and can win 5 hands in a row, other times you can lose that many, definately don't double down over $100
6)I go for $50/day not all in one sitting. If I know I'll be on the computer alot that day, I'll just go in and win $3 to $5 at a time...
7)If you decide to go in and just bet BBBBBBB or PPPPPPP till it wins, watch because you could end up betting against the streak. So if your playing PPPPPP and BBB come up, after 3 B in a row you should switch to B. I got that from a book and it seems to work, not everytime, but more often then not..
8)Again take it slow, like at 365 with a minimum bet of $2, say I lose the first hand, well instead of going to 4, I will go to 3, then 6, 12 etc.
9)Remember that the previous hand has no relation to the outcome of the next hand. Patterns do come up and you can follow them, but don't rely on them. If PPPPP come up and you riding the streak, you might think it came up 5 times already, how about I put down $50 for the next bet, well the next bet is still 50/50 player/banker
10)I never bet ties, they do play 8 or 9 to one depending on your casino, but I never play them. It does seem that once a tie comes up, another will follow within a couple hands, but I never play them. I play thru ties. Say your bet is $8 on player, and the next hand is a tie, you get your money back, and you next bet is still $8 on player...
Give it a try, I think the reason why so many people lose at casinos is they get wreckless. ex I flew all the way to Vegas and I'm only up $300, I'm going to try and double that before I leave, and they lose it. Where as on the computer you can go and play, be up $5 and leave and come back and play later. There is no pressure to have to win... I was going to play in person at the casino, but the players themselves deal the cards and it was a $10 minimum table, but the game is most popular with the chinese....This is my constant, whether I'm up or down in my sports betting, as long as I hit my $50 a day, thats $350 a week to cash out....
Let me know how you like it.. Good or bad...
